    Owl Cookies

    Cutest. Cookies. Ever. (Special thanks to Emily for carving the very evil and Voldemortish jack-o-lantern.)

  • MANAMANA!

    Manamana! That is one of the best three-person Halloween costumes ever.

  • Halloween Theme for Firefox

    Halloween theme for Firefox. I’m using it at work and it’s spook-tacular!

  • Peep-Free Zone

    I didn’t want to announce it earlier and jinx anything, but as it’s now officially Halloween… My house is a Peep-free zone! That feels so good to say. This is the first year in a long time that someone from my family hasn’t sent me a package of those icky little sugar-coated pieces of foam rubber. *shudder*

  • Halloween Teaser #2 – Chex Mix

    Chex Mix

    What’s that? Oh, I’ll tell you what that is. That, my friends, is a METRIC ASS-TON of Chex Mix.

    Except it isn’t really Chex Mix, since you can’t get Chex here. It’s Nutrigrain + pretzels + bagel chips + macadamias + other nuts MIX. And seriously, there’s like two gallons of snack there.

  • Bad Costumes

    20 Costumes That Will Earn You a Halloween Beating. I dunno; I kinda think the “Bacon and Eggs” one is amusing.

  • $20 Pumpkins

    Last night I was in Harris Farm picking up some more stuff for the Halloween party when I noticed that they were still flogging their $20 orange pumpkins. I took a quick photo, shrugged, and continued my shopping. Later in the queue, I noticed a guy standing next to me juggling three of them.

    Me: Pssst! If you can get over to Paddy’s this week, I found them there for fifteen!
    Him: Fifteen! That’s pretty good! Did they have many?
    Me: Actually, not really. And they were priced by weight, $4/kilo.
    Him: That’s okay. I’ll stick with these.

    The poor guy paid SIXTY DOLLARS for three pumpkins! That’s some dedication right there. And judging by the accent he was an Aussie, not some nostalgic Yank. Obviously my campaign to bring this holiday to the Antipodeans is gaining momentum. As he was leaving, we wished each other a “Happy Halloween!”

  • Baby Yoda

    Neat! Mimzilla saw the Yoda costume I knitted for Alexander last year and made her own! Nice job, mimzilla.

    Some of you will probably guess what’s in the jar. And yes, I did manage to dye my fingertips red while making it.
