fright night!

holy sweetness! fright night was a blast. for those of you who don't know what "fright night" is (which is probably all of you), it is a bunch of haunted houses and amusement park rides that stay open late the two weeks leading up to halloween. it is held at playland, which is a poor mans version of six flags. sprout and i went on nearly every ride and i forced her go into all the haunted houses. the whole experience was more fun than a barrel full of really scary monkeys... like monkeys with fangs... and knives... and kim jong-il hair. i hate to admit it, but i took perverse pleasure in cathrine being freaked out by the haunted houses... yes i am a jerk... and yes this is an egregious misuse of ellipses...
