HALLOWEEEEEN….2!!!



jack o lantern

Our spoooooky jack o lantern! It won second prize at the party yesterday.I went low key with my costume to work today. Just some devil horns and purple streaks.

horns

No trick or treaters….pbbth! Guess we’ll just have to finish off this candy all ourselves.Kev and I went out to Raging Burrito for dinner. I was hoping for a kind of halloween party going on, but it was pretty dead there. HAHA! GET IT? DEAD! ON HALLOWEEN!

Now I just plan on relaxing, watching the Steeler game, and knitting. Kev’s been acting pretty weird, though. Twitchy. Nervous. Angry. It’s freaking me out a bit.

Oh well, I’m sure he’ll be fine.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
psycho!

HALLOWEEEEEEEEN!

I'm a bad kitty!I’m a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad kitty!

grumble

why does bacon not come in resealable packaging? Do they expect us to eat the whole pack at once?

Tempting.

but…

no.

fucking vegetarians

Me: so she asked me if the soup was vegetarian.

Kev: HAHAHA! NO WAY!

Me: yeah, I told her it had a ton of bacon in it. Her friend is on her own, I guess. Unless she cheats. I’ve heard when vegetarians cheat, it’s usually with bacon.

Kev: if she eats bacon, she’s not a vegetarian.

Me: well, if she eats it only every once in a while…once in a blue moon.

Kev: doesn’t matter. if you eat meat, you’re not a vegetarian.

Me: you’re a meat eater, yet you eat vegetables.

Kev: but I eat meat and vegetables all the time. If you occasionally eat meat, you are NOT a fucking vegetarian.

Me: you know, it’s not like there are RULES about being vegetarian. Why do you think there are rules? If a someone only eats meat once in a blue moon…

Kev: I’m just fucking SICK of vegetarians. It’s like the whole metrosexual thing. Always in your face about being vegetarian and making a big deal…

Me: WHEN? When have you had a vegetarian in your face about it?

Kev: well…not…no. But that’s not the point. They COULD do it…I’m just anti-vegetarian.

Me: you’re vegetarianist.

Kev: antivegetarianist.

Me: foodist.

Kev: we’re a pair, aren’t we? good thing we love each other.

Me: yeah, otherwise we’d probably kill each other.

friday night knits

my current project to avoid working on the shawl is KnitPicks fingerless mittens. I realized at some point that I needed to use a couple of stitch markers. I made some a while back…but they’re all on the shawl. I made a quickie pair with some newer beads I got at Wal…ummm…a store of some sort…

stitch markers

Incidently, if anyone LIKES my bead markers, I can make you some for….I dunno…$2 each plus shipping?

Here’s the first mitten so far:

fingerless mittens

when it’s done, I’ll sew the side edges together to make the mitten.Annnnd…for those of you bored with my knitting pics and updates…a pic of Sadie chewing on a pig ear!

pig ear

my spidey power is all tingly and shit

Today we had to go hear a speaker at GA tech today - fun! The speaker just happened to be a man who has been a small bane in my existance lately, as we requested some strains from him from a paper he published and HE DIDN’T HAVE THE STRAINS! HE DOESN’T KEEP THEM!

bastard.

anyway…afterwards we all went out to the Varsity. If you’ve come to atlanta, and you haven’t eaten at the Varsity…you suck.

I am full of greasy food and orange cream slush.

Then on the drive home we saw a guy dressed up like a gay spiderman in drag, with a baton. apparently, it’s Baton Bob, who every day dresses in an outrageous costume and runs around midtown with a baton.

TAKE THAT NEW YORK! WE HAVE FREAKS HERE, TOO!

There’s another guy who I see EVERYWHERE, usually at bus stops. He’s got to be in his 60’s or 70’s, and he has a cane he leans on. He wears BIKE SHORTS all year, and his JUNK IS ALWAYS LUMPED UP IN A BALL HALFWAY DOWN HIS THIGH, LIKE A CANCEROUS BIKE SHORT TUMOR!

gross. didn’t see him today, though. gay spiderman was enough.
