Hope you have a spooktacular one. Bwa hahahaha!

I went to the roller derby Saturday. What a hoot! It was Heaven vs. Hell. Heaven's team was decked out in white and gold and Hell's team was all vamped up in black and red... :) It was pretty entertaining. They really do knock each other down, throwing elbows, etc.

Then yesterday I went to see my sister in law and my adorable chubby nephew, who is 4 mo. now I believe. We took him to the park, he likes to sit on your lap and swing. The whole time we were out walkin' he was really quiet just looking around and taking it all in. He's a sweetie.

*sigH*

Watched Grey's Anatomy last night... I figured Derek would stay with his wife or something. It'd take away from the drama for them to get together...

tgif, tGif.... *big sigh*

Corpse Bride

I saw Corpse Bride last night... I'm just a movie fiend this week.. I really liked it. At one point all the corpses grossed me out (got to be too much??), but it was really visually interesting and sweet.

This weekend I want to watch some more dark movies (For me that would be Lemony Snicketts and Hocus Pocus). Not exactly dark in some people's minds. :) I'm frickin' Mary Poppins or something. Ha!

I think I shall share some link love...

Online Stores that get me in trouble:

Etsy Beta where I bought a pretty scarf from QueenThings

Plain Mabel

AND...

Hop Skip Jump she sews the cutest things, including these adorable monkeys. :)

VonVon's Life she sews cute little dogs and injured cats... so sad and sweet.

[Mood: Chillllllllllllllllll... I just finished a pain in the can project!!!]

Thursday Thursday...

Wallace and Gromit

Well, Halloween is almost here and I saw Wallace and Gromit, Curse of the WereRabbit last night. I thought it was too cute and funny.

They had a movie short before it with the penguins from Madagascar, which was too cute. The penguins were cursing, but saying stuff like, "Hoover Dam!" "Shitake Mushrooms!". Ha! Love it!

Check out Kung Fu Cowgirl's stuff. She makes some adorable/funky/weird purses and whatnot. ;)

Tuesday Tuesday... Well, this week is moving right along. I went out with some girls from work last night.

Then I went home and watched Grey's Anatomy, which I LOVE! While attempting to sew a little green frog...

My post today is a little owl I made. I made another for my Halloween swap person. I hope she got it yesterday. :)

I'm bored... So I thought I'd add a link to some cuteness:

Molly Chicken --she makes adorable wallets and softies and draws the sweetest doodles, etc.

Brrrr!! It's chilly here today. :) I was ready for it to be cooler, but not ready for COLD.

I went to see Serenity last night, pretty violent, but all in all I liked it. I like to see girls kickin' booty!!

I sure could have used another weekend day. I was awoken in the middle of the night to scrabbling in the wall behind my head. I live in a garden level apartment and that wall faces dirt or whatever is behind our apartment. I think there is a squirrel in the wall of the apartment. I heard it finally get up to something and then run east and it chattered a bit. ugh. I like squirrels, but not living in my walls!

Halloween Swap

I received my package for the Halloween Swap, thank you Holly! :) Some sweets, cute halloweeny cupcake papers and an adorable black cat bucket, with lid.

I got it Friday, but was out with friends, ate at my favorite Chinese restaurant and then I went on the Pub Crawl for Cancer yesterday, whew! I'm chillin' like a villian today. :)

I went to breakfast this morning with my good friend Big Larr. I gave him a gummy nose that was in my halloween package and told him he should stick it to his head at work, which led to him telling me a story about his 14 year old self taking one of those little basketball goals with suction cups and sticking the suction cup to his head. Apparently his forehead has a bit of an inset, a divet if you will and the suction cup grabbed on quite nicely. :) Leaving Big Larr with a suction cup hickey on his forehead. hee hee. :)

Here's some art for today... An owl painting I did. Quite a few people have said he looks like the Tootsie pop owl. : ) You can buy prints of Hoot here. There are of course other artists here who's prints you could buy, but hellooooooo.... ha!

Rockabilly

I went to see the Rumble Jetts at a bar last night, they are a fun band. :) I did some East Coast swing dancing, although I'm not all that good, I had a lot of fun. And if you can't be the best dancers, you can be the ones having a bunch of fun, right??

There was a guy there doing crazy things with his legs and he'd go down on one knee and the girl would be spinning past. That's a terrible description but it was pretty swanky.

And this is a great band to check out Split Lip Rayfield. They're a lot of fun.

Mr. T went to Utah not too long ago, isn't it lovely?? I think I'd rather be in this scene right now... ahh....

Close Encounters

I watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind last night with Mr. T. I was expecting to be scared, but other than being a bit creepy it wasn't bad. Decent old school flick. Man, was Richard Dreyfuss' family in the movie obnoxious. WHEW!

This is a great old movie I just thought of: Flight of the Navigator. I watched that movie as a kidlet. :)

And in the spirit of sharing my likes, this is a book I love and it'd be a great read for the Halloween season, Witch by Barbara Michaels.

I want to see the new Wallace and Grommit movie, Curse of the WereRabbit. :) I love the previews for it. ha!
