I was just doing an image search on Google for Smokey Mountains autumn since I live about an hour away from them. I found this little gem and thought you guys should see it..it's beautiful! I do believe this photo is icon worthy. Think I'll make one of it.

(family stands facing the empire state building)
Tourist son: Mom, which one is the Empire State Building?
Tourist mom: I think it's the one with the circley top. (points to the Chrysler Building)
Tourist dad: No, honey, it's the one way out there, on the water.
Tourist son #2: That's the Statue of Liberty. (to no one in paritcular) I can't believe I'm part of this fucking family.

Here's a taste of what's coming to a theatre near you (space won't allow a full list) including some buzzworthy flicks that will be introduced at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.

Remember studios often make last-minute changes to movie release dates, so check local listings.

Hide and seek AC:WW style:
Get two or more players to visit.
Get them to hide.
Spend an hour looking in every house, behind every building and tree.
Send messages with things like "OH MY GOD" and "I'm getting so annoyed....". 
Receive messages with things like "LOL" and "*Snicker*".
Get them to give you cryptic hints as to where they are.
Put the kettle on and roll a cigarette.
Drink coffee, smoke cigarette, resume.
Think you've found them in Butch's house, but actually it's just a golf bag.
Get lost in the museum.
Find friends staring at bugs or hiding in your attic (the latter being the most annoying, since they hid up there before you went into your house to wait for them to hide).

Switch roles.

Hide behind Post Office.
Listen to friend digging, like I've found some way to get underground.
Realise they're beating the Post Office door in with the shovel.
Laugh when they're looking around the sides of the Post Office.
Shoot pellets in the air to pass time.
Change outfit 7 times.
Sneak into post office, pay mortgage, send mail, make donations.
Hide behind tree next to Post Office, to make it a bit easier.
Wait another 10 minutes.
Have other friend who is also hiding, discover that they're hiding a bit too well and move to an easier spot.
Wait another 10 minutes.
Become found.
Chase eachother.
Friends leave because it's now bedtime.


I was meant to be in bed at 2am, it was 3am when this started, I got into bed at 4am, it's now 6.30am, I'm back out of bed and I'm wide awake.  What the hell.
