And by today's subject title I'm NOT referring to the scurrying rodents! Make no mistake, I do harbour strong feelings towards them too, but I assure you, those feelings fall on quite the opposite side of the emotional spectrum as love!

So in this instance, I'm referring to him of course! (But tell Mrs. Mice and Little Bit not to be jealous, because my affection includes all of you.)

And why do I love thee so much to-day, Mr. Mice?

Because I got the movies that you sent me! Yes, readers, that's movieS - plural!

Mice and I were talking the other day (around Halloween, methinks) and although I can't remember exactly what was said, we did at some point chat about the fact that the boy and I... brace yerselves... don't have satellite or even CABLE T.V.!!!!!!!

So Mice did what any civilized person with a heart will do and he promptly took pity on me.

And since he is the King of Horror movies, he decided that I desperately needed some entertainment and education (also known, in some very high-ranking U.S. government circles, as edumefication) and thus he offered to send me any horror movie of my choice.

Now, since I don't know much (okay, anything! I don't know anything) about the genre, I left it up to him. And so, last night I received not one, not even two, but THREE WHOLE (AND CLASSIC) HORROR MOVIES!!!!!

Their terrifying titles are: The Brides of Dracula, Black Christmas (what better way to kick off the season?) and Aaaaaaoooooooooooooowwwwwwww: She-Wolf of London.

THANK YOU, Mice, Mrs. Mice and Little Bit! The boy and I are already shivering in antici......... PATION and can't wait to start watching it.

So readers, stay tuned for some real amateurish reviews from me over the next few weeks.
