Happy Halloween...

I'll start by saying good luck trying to figure out what my pumpkin is. If you can figure it out, you either know me all to well or are just really good. I wanted to design my own and do some scoring. Therefore I did. Maybe next year I'll have a better grasp on what shows up well and what doesn't. I ended up doing 3 pumpkins this year.



This one I did for work. I also put Maggie the cat's eyes on it for the website. The still coming soon website. I think this one came out the best due to you can tell what it is LOL. Oh well, it was all fun.



So, I had to dress up for work...So I thought. My boss didn't dress up like she so often preaches. Turns out the mask I made her (printed out on the printer and cut out) her kids knocked it out of the car and her husband ran it over. She was just too grouchy about it she didn't dress up at all. I on the other hand had to come up with something where I could still work. I have to set some more truss up today so I couldn't wear anything that couldn't get dirty. This is what I came up with. I put up both pics because I think my smile in one pic looks dumb but some may disagree. I don't know which one is good, I don't like either of them. Can you tell what I am? It's simple enough - a rock climber that boulders, so no harness or rope needed.

And now I must go put up this truss! yeah!
Happy Halloween!

Scary

My scary Halloween story is short, but scary. So, brace yourself...Ready. I drove a forklift! I know! Terrifying. I destroyed nothing, broke nothing, and lived to tell the tale. It was either my boss or me. Being a hero, as it were, I spared my boss and learned to maneuver the beast so that when the time comes I can take one for the team. Containing the creature with little brainpower, I was able to fully understand it's language. When my time comes I will be able to rescue the deliveries off the trucks to bring them to safety within the warehouse.

And that my friend is my scary story to be passed down from graphic artist to graphic artist.

Now call me a nerd, call me a dork, call me what you will but this I found to be very cool! I recently read Meg by Steve Alten. It's about a pre-historic shark - Megladon. This shark bypasses the size of any Great White by triple to quadruple. It could swallow a small car. The book was entertaining non the less, probably due to my fascination with sharks. While reading this I came across an actual fact. That in the early 1900's a fish was discovered that was thought to be extinct over 65 Million years ago. That's living with the dinosaurs! And even more living with Megladon, which is thought to be extinct 25 to 1.6 Millions years ago. Crazy! I ran to my computer to check the fact out.

I have now finished the book and was watching TV randomly flipping stations. (Here comes the nerdy part, if you didn't see it already). They were talking about the fish that I had just read about! Sweet! I watched the full hour documentary about this fish - how is was discovered, (even though it was here all along, and humans could just be ignorant, since fisherman have seen it before), where it lives and scientist new thrill to learn more about it.

Coelacanth, was found by a fisherman in 1938, not far south from where their habitat is. It lived with the dinosaurs - even out lived them and surprising had only little changes. I find this to be pretty cool. I know there are other species out there that are probably this old, but this is my area of interest :-)

I should of been a Marine Biologist...

Sunday Night Madness

Okay so once again I have no idea where those 2 weeks went. If you find them please give me their Geographic coordinates so that I may go retrieve them. (In my new handy dandy Sports Jet)

Apparently I have been busy forgetting what I have been up to. According to my calendar I have watched Prison Break, Football and some other random shows. Along with rollerblading, played volleyball on Wednesday nights with a girls team, swam with masters for the first time, along with the everyday cycle of work, exercising, cooking, and not enough sleeping.

Last week we finally received our sofa, love seat, coffee and end tables. Although the love seat and sofa were WRONG we are wondering what to do with them, probably keep them. I have also set up my 20Gal. Fish tank that I got for $10, at a garage sale. I put some fish in it so far. Granted I have killed none, they probably will kill themselves. 4 fish, Tiger Barbs, are not getting along (names - Jack, Alpha, Beta and Gamma). At first Jack was tormenting the other 3. Weirdness Jack had the battle wound. I put Jack in a small breeding container in the tank and now Beta is tormenting Alpha and Gamma. No good. I let Jack out and put Beta in the container. Now Alpha is tormenting mostly Jack. Gamma although smaller doesn't seem to be bothered by the others. When I let Beta out, Jack and him went NUTS, trying to establish who was the dominate in the tank. Needless to say I don't want fish dead in the morning so I might take the Tiger Barbs back. Leaving me with 2 swordtails (Justin and Summer - Justin Summer) and a redtailed shark (no name yet). With more to come.

This weekend was the first that we had people over. Mostly a spontaneous football gathering. We made chili, first attempt and turned out pretty good! With garlic mashed potatoes. This weekend I went to the Great Pumpkin farm near here, with Mike and his friend that was in town. They mostly took pictures (the main reason for going), while I took some and laughed at them. Along with that I was attacked by a Turkey! It liked my ring I guess, tried to get it off me, it is nice and shiny.

Now I shall make my attempt again to not loose 2 weeks.

Footnote: Cowboys are playing awesome! Well winning. Guess Bledsoe really did just need an Offensive Line. Whoda thunk.
