I feel like its such a cliche girl thing to say "I can't believe it's already November!," but I genuinely can't believe it. It feels like literally just a couple of months ago it was New Years Day and I was eating those pancakes hungover in a diner feeling so hopeful about 2017. It's such a bummer to realize maybe I should have set the expectation bar just a little lower so I wouldn't be so shocked it's November

As I mentioned multiple times on the blog, I love classic horror movies. Way back when AMC's Fear Fest used to begin with the black and white classics and move up to the modern-day slasher films. Sadly, they've cut the movie marathon down to about a week rather than a month so they tend to strictly focus on the slasher films. At least the streaming services still have them available to watch. Of course, I took a bunch of film classes where we studied the likes of Psycho, The Exorcist, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which gave me a greater appreciation for the classics.

I love a good horror movie. Okay scratch that. I love a few select horror movies and none of them are recent. Trust me, just ask anyone who gets incredibly mad at me laughing the entire time because I just cannot suspend my disbelief for two or so hours. I might get into my favorites in another post because I just finished watching the 1979 version of the Amityville Horror and AMC's Fear Fest is going to start in just a few days. Plenty to write about, right?

This weekend I have a little fall break and I use that term loosely. While I have a "break" I'm not much of a break person. I just find something to do or get ahead with so I'm not stressed later. Unfortunately I'll likely be cleaning or organizing, but hopefully I'll get to make some yummy food (or some sea salt chocolate chip cookies at least). As usual here are some really interesting and, hopefully, fun things from around the Internet. Sorry it's a little design centric this time, but those were definitely some interesting reads over the last week or so.

I won't lie; I love dressing up my dog. For whatever reason she loves it. On my Instagram you can find her in a rufferee costume, springtime cape, and her Halloween costume last year: pinata. Where normal dogs would be completely irritated and sad by being dressed in clothes many people believe they should not be wearing, Chloe loves it. 

Design is completely and utterly fascinating to me for so many reasons. So many reasons I think no one wants to hear on this blog (it would be the longest, most boring blog post ever). Mainly that I admire anyone who can look at an object and see something that can be made different about it. My favorite design books encompass quite a few subjects including industrial design and graphic design. There's something about the ideology of what makes certain products, designs, or brands stick and others fade away that I find very intriguing. I love that there are 6,000 unique ways to redesign objects but still make them functional. I mean how many designs for chairs have you seen in life?

Filmstruck is a streaming service that offers "contemporary and classic art house, indie, foreign, and cult films." It was created by the film lovers at Turner Classic Movies and the Criterion Collection. There's a pretty well stocked library of options across multiple genres, and even just scrolling genres seemed endless
