Happy Halloween!!! Do you guys have big plans for the evening? Me, I’ll be glued to the Ghost Huntersseven hour live event from Fort Delaware. I won’t be watching the whole thing at one time, though. And I’ll also be recording Numb3rs.
In other TV news, I am bummed. David Tennant has quit Doctor Who. I wonder who they’ll get to replace him? Tennant will film four special (movie length, I assume) episodes but won’t return for the new season in 2010.
I only managed to eke out half a page last night. And I was thankful to get that much.
Reading: Last night I started Raising Atlantis by Thomas Greanias. It’s about archaeologist Dr. Conrad Yeats and environmental activist Dr. Serena Serghetti as they try to prevent the end of the world. I think. Must read more to be sure. *g*
On this date in 1938, Orson Welles broadcast his radio play of The War of the Worlds. Unfortunately, he caused a national panic because most of the listeners thought the Martian invasion was real. Though later research has shown a good bit of the reports of people running from their homes was sensationalized. Makes a good story, though. *g*
The other day I discovered Ancestry.com had revamped their website. This has made it a lot easier to search their records and find stuff on your family. So I’ve suddenly jumped back into my family history with a vengeance. I’ve never actually found any skeletons in my family’s closet, though. I keep hoping, however. *g*
Ghost Hunters was fun last night. So was CSI: NY. They combined two of my favorite “hidden New York” stories. First, the secret train station where Franklin Delano Roosevelt could ride his private train straight beneath the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and they combined it with the mysterious disappearance of Judge Joseph Force Crater who left a restaurant in a taxi in 1930 never to be seen or heard from again. He was once called the “Missingest Man in New York”.
