Hello faithful Minions.

It seems like it’s been a while since we talked. I’ll admit that the nightly bedtime stories have been a bit lacking of late and there is no good excuse for it. Actually, there’s lots of good excuses, but no entertaining ones. Like I haven’t been held hostage by a strange race of mutant squid people or anything. Although that would be awesome and if it ever does happen I’ll be sure to snap a pic for you.

In the meantime, let me fill you in a bit on what’s been going on here at Castle Scarydad.

Spawn of Scarydad recently graduated to her big girl bed. She thought it was a really good idea until it got dark, then she changed her mind. Her wails occasionally threaten to wake the dead, meaning that those of us that are only mostly dead are dead tired.

When I haven’t been doing something else I’ve been reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. So far, so good. Very colorful language that immerses you into the story. Although I’m not finished yet, unless there’s something really stupid to ruin it in the third act, I think it’s probably safe to recommend this book to anyone who likes magic.

The ultimate way to cook fish is like this: In a skillet, heat up some sesame oil. Place the fish skin down into the oil. Add a bit of garlic salt and pepper and allow to cook until the fish is white. Serve with your favorite sides. It’s that easy, and it tastes better than anything you’ll get in a restaurant. You’re welcome.

I got Trick r’ Treat at Half Price Books for $4.00 and that’s pretty cool.

Tiny Dancer is pretty easy to play on the guitar but it’s hard to remember all the words.

And I think that’s about all I have for tonight.
