So, it was just Halloween. I ate lots of candy and had some fun, so all was good.

I decided to carve some pumpkins for Halloween, so I went off to Curtis Orchard, the world's most magical copyright infringement-filled adventure, an apple orchard and pumpkin patch that use without license a bunch of Wizard of Oz names and characters to theme their place, right down to the "Flying Monkey Cafe". I found two decent pumpkins (all the perfect ones were long gone, but I got a good couple) and brought them home to start carving.

I also wanted to carve a Peacekeeper symbol (from Farscape) jack-o-lantern and a Stargate logo jack-o-lantern, but ultimately I settled on a Dollhouse logo one and a Christmas Turtle one! There's always next year for the others.

Here's my Dollhouse one: (the U turned out kinda funky)

And lit...

And here's my Christmas Turtle jack-o-lantern!

And here it is lit...

How cool is that?

And then there was my costume. I wasn't going out anywhere, so instead of putting together a whole real costume I just wanted something quick and simple as all hell for fun. So, I took an idea from TV.com's list of last-minute TV-inspired Halloween costumes (minus their bashing of Dollhouse which was so annoying) and threw on some pajamas to become: an Active, from Dollhouse!

What do you think?

And here I am as an Active with my Dollhouse jack-o-lantern.

So, that all was pretty cool.

And then I was supposed to have a friend over for an alien movie marathon, but she got sick at the last minute and had to cancel. So, I got my Buffy DVDs and had myself a little marathon of the Halloween episodes and spooky episodes. Not bad for Halloween.

I hope everyone else had a great Halloween too!

You either get it, or you don't.

Here is, specifically, my exact yellow strainer.

Because the new TV.com wasn't terrible enough, they've done away with the old logo entirely and changed the upper-right corner arrangement of your queue/profile/pms/favorite shows, and the main page is just YUCK! I miss the old TV.com...
