Happy Halloweeeenie!

So halloween this year wasn't anything too special. Although I had a couple of costume ideas, I actually didn't dress up. I spent most of the afternoon in the library trying to catch up on some stuff. I was originally planning on going landscape painting again, but the weather was a problem...it was overcast, which I don't mind, it's just that the rain was on and off, so it was a bit unpredictable.

Anyways, after the library, I went home and finally got around to carving my pumpkin. Every year, for the past few years, my brother and I would each carve a pumpkin. And each time I would have these cool ideas(so I thought), but the results weren't always as satisfying. One year I tried carving Bruce Lee--ended up looking like Mr. Spock; another year I tried Bob Marley--ended up kinda looking like.....James Brown! So this year, with the election only a couple days after halloween, I thought it would be the appropriate idea to carve the presidential candidates. So my brother got McCain, leaving me with Obama. My brother's pumpkin was pretty successful, as it usually is. I, on the other hand, totally rushed mine. I finished in about an hour and a half, but this is the sad result....



I thought it kinda looked like Ray Charles....my mom said it looked like "Preddie the Cougar"(ahem, she means freddie kreuger, hahaha).


My brother's Senator McCain.

The Fall is here, with it finally starting to rain....so Happy (belated) Halloween. Don't forget to eat lots of candy, go out and VOTE on NOV. 4th!! and also to change your clocks/watches this weekend for daylight savings. Enjoy!
