A possibly haunted house

Today was Friday, and there’s not a whole lot more to say about it except that. I wrote a little more this evening, which is tough to do while standing up on a crowded and bumpy train, but I like where the little bit I got down is headed. It may helps me get closer to where I think the story overall is supposed to be headed.

Then this evening, I watched The House of the Devil, which is an interesting movie. It’s a pitch-perfect homage to ’80s horror and sometimes really genuinely scary. As Roger Ebert wrote in his review, it’s a movie that “understands that if there’s anything scarier than haunted house, it’s a possibly haunted house.” I’m not sure it’s a whole lot more than a skillful imitation of movies they don’t make a lot of anymore, but I enjoyed it.

Now I think it’s time for a little blind capping, then maybe the Burn Notice season finale and bed. That’s a halfway decent Friday, no?
