Autumnal Vibes are here again!

A dirt road in autumn from Word Press Photo Directory.

Summer may not be officially over yet, but September has begun! Which means we are in the ‘Ber months, a shorthand I first saw on the internet for September, October, November and December. Also known as my very favorite stretch of the year. Fall is my very favorite season, Halloween and Christmas are my very favorite holidays, with Thanksgiving also being high on the list. There’s just so much to love about this time of year. (And just for me personally, my birthday is in November. I’m a fall girl through and through, right from the beginning.)

BTS in Toronto: I’m not freaking out, you are!

So, how’s your summer going? Good I hope. And mine? Well, at the time of this publication, the K-Pop boy group BTS will be arriving in Toronto in about a week and a half, from August 22 – 23, performing at Roger’s Stadium. And I’m going to be there. And I’m totally fine about it. Completely chill. Cucumber girl, as in ‘cool as a’.

I’m lying. Completely and utterly. I am not chill. I am so excited I am vibrating. And I’m most definitely not the only one. If you thought the city lost it’s mind over Taylor Swift coming get ready to be awash in purple and red, at least over that weekend if not longer.

We’re halfway to Halloween! Books and Movies to help with the wait (and celebrate spring)

Yes! We’re doing it again! We are putting Halloween into a part of the year it doesn’t usually go! Why? Because it’s fun and we can!

Just one example of a scary Easter Bunny costume. Apparently, the user who posted this on Flickr found it in an antique shop. A cursed antique shop?

The end of April and the start of May is the halfway point to Halloween. For Halfway to Halloween, or Halfoween, fans are happy to mark the occasion as we start counting down the last six months of the year to the big day. Kinda like Christmas in July, but awesome! Horror-centric vehicles like Shudder spend all of April celebrating the halfway mark. Some places even have events to give everyone an early taste of scary season. If something like Easterween isn’t really catching on (though I ended up embracing it a little this year, sharing creepy pictures of old-timey Easter Bunny costumes with friends who also love horror) this is still a great way to put some creep factor into your spring season.
