K is for Kicking with Excitement

Boondock Saints 2 All Saints Day is premiering this Friday. Though I am very concerned that the sequel will fail miserably in comparison to the 1st one, I am also extremely excited. As far as I can tell, it will not be played in my area, so my friends and I are going to have to drive to Philadelphia either for a midnight showing on Thursday night, or Friday evening sometime.

I know what you are thinking. That is a lot of time in money just for a movie, but I don’t adhere to the famous adage “a penny saved is worth 2 in the bush.” You know what I really need for a trip like this? Some rope. “Charlie Bronson’s always got rope…he’s got rope strapped around em in the movies and they always end up using it…You don’t know what you’re gonna need it for, they just always need it.”

J is for Jack-O’-Lantern

It has been much too long since I have posted. For a while, it was due to my busy schedule, but for the last week I have just been waiting until the right time. That time is of course directly after carving my pumpkin for Halloween this year. Could there be a better use for the letter J? I submit that there can not!

2 years ago, I decided to get into pumpkin carving. My first 2 attempts were very successful as I found patterns online that looked good but weren’t too challenging. This year I was torn between a few ideas and decided to make up my own pattern incorporating a number of designs. I think it turned out very well. Liz also carved a great looking pumpkin, but the pumpkin was unfortunately rotting and cracked a bit at the end. It will not survive the week, but we got a few pictures of it to remember its greatness. I tried to take pictures along the way to show its progression. Here are a few of those pictures for your enjoyment.
