Halloween 2015: Pumpkins Doing Pumpkin Things

Well, another Halloween (sadly) has come to a close.  Google said that you're never too old to trick or treat in an ad, but i don't think the neighbors here would agree.  i'm still 15, i just have several years experience at it.

Now for so pictures of pumpkins - they didn't turn out great this year.  i tried and failed one stencil, i decided the other pumpkin wast too soft (read starting to rot) to try a pattern..

Halloween, it's practically here

So, my favorite day of the year is almost here.  Bad pumpkin carving from stencils?  That post will come later

(also Blogger really sucks with Edge too)

This year I think I will be going as a were-human (I was a homicidal maniac last year).  Next Halloween, I want to go as a multimillionaire.  

If my current Halloween candy supply was an animal, it would be an endangered species.

Happy Back to the Future 2 Day

Today is the day in the future that was set in the time machine in Back to the Future 2 (1989).  October 21, 2015.  They probably picked that date 26 years in the future (was it really that long ago?) to go with the idea that the characters were now middle aged with kids (at least one near the same age Marty McFly was in the first movie).  Actually, it was 30 years back in the first movie and 30 years forward in the second movie.

Like most Sci-Fi, they got more than a few things wrong.  The future in Back to the Future was so much better than today.  Next up the Jetsons (set in 2062 - a year hopefully i'll never see).  I'm still waiting on the time machine.  They do sell plutonium at 711s now don't they?

My Black Friday Wishlist

Black Friday is rapidly approaching - from the time of this post 38 days away.  Actually, I prefer sales on Thanksgiving.  So, what am I looking to purchase this year (if the price is right and I have enough money)?  Though, i'll probably just end up looking for cheap movies at Wal-Mart (hopefully with digital copies). 


In no particular order whatsoever.  i'll update this when the ads for Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy leak (with whatever in the ads I'm actually interested in).

Halloween Candy 2015, the Halloweening

The most wonderful time of the year is just two short weeks away.  One of the big parts of the best holiday ever (better if people would give me Xmas presents on Halloween like I would prefer - but they won't) is candy. 


I've probably bought more candy than I should have already (though I have two more weeks left to do so, followed by Wal-Mart day after shopping - Target never has 50% off the day after any more).  So far, it is less than last year - I've only bought candy during this period that was on sale (mostly buy one get one 50% off). 


What ever happened to fun sized Baby Ruth?  Target doesn't stock them.  Last year I found them at Wal-Mart, but I haven't been there this year (and their website suggests that they are out of stock near me). 


Now for the breakdown so far this annum...
