What's New?

Happy November, readers.  Besides having a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks, nothing much has been going on with me.  Still got some DIY projects that need to be completed and I have to make a return to the eye doctor to see about having the lenses in my glasses adjusted.  Even though things are no longer blurry as hell when I wear them, I'm still having a hard time with reading text.  Hopefully, this is a problem that can be easily remedied.

Happy Massive Candy Distribution Day!

Halloween is here!  Time to put on your slutty nurse, cat, viking, etc. costume and hit the streets.  Don't have plans this evening?  Never fear.  I have some movie recommendations for you.

• The Rocky Horror Picture Show: This movie is filled with thrills, chills and b-movie special effects goodness.
• The Nightmare Before Christmas: Who doesn't love a movie about a Halloween spirit trying to hijack Christmas?  Nobody!
• Corpse Bride: About a girl who's always the dead bridesmaid and never the dead bride.
• Coraline: Motherly love to the creepy extreme.  
• The Devil Wears Prada: A movie featuring a woman who can put the fear of God in you for simply wearing the wrong shoes to work.  Terrifying.
• She-Devil: Roseanne, adultery and acts of revenge.  I suggest you don't watch this movie with the lights off. 

There you have it.  My movie recommendations for Halloween.  Hope you enjoy.

All Treat and No Trick

Hello, boys and girls.  As an early Halloween present, here's a treat for the ears.  Jules Marie, one of my new favorite artists, has just released her second full album titled "Scarlet Lore."  Her sound is a dark mix of alternative, electronic, and dream pop with a bit of ambience.  "Scarlet Lore"  is available for free on bandcamp.com.   You can also get to the album download page by clicking the link below.

Awesome Discovery

About a month ago, the mailman accidentally put a catalog into my mailbox that was meant for somebody else.  It was from this online store called The Pyramid Collection.  After looking through the catalog, I saw that the shop sold items that catered to a lot of different subcultures.  Like Gothic, Steampunk and other new age subcultures.  If these type of things Interests you, click the link below and give the site a look-see.

Jewelry Rehab 3: The Finale

I did it!  Last weekend, I finally completed my necklace project.  I ditched the elastic cord that I had originally planned to use and threaded some of the beads from my broken bracelet onto a short ball chain that I had sitting in my jewelry box.  Then, I took the rest of the beads and fed them through a pair of large silver hoop earrings that my mother had gave me.

For the low price of free, I created a cute jewelry set.  On to the next project.

New Specks and No Net

Finally got my new glasses yesterday.  Pros: Love the frames.  Cons: Lenses are super thick and everything's a blur when I wear them.  Eye doctor told to give it a few days to see if my eyes adjust to them.

In other news, Fios up and suspended my internet service without warning.  So, it will be awhile before I can get internet back up at home.  Now that that's out of the way, it's on to some serious business.  A picture of the Fonz jumping over a shark.  Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves the importance of this picture.

 

Minor Progress

Been slightly busy the last 2 weeks.  Had a well overdue eye exam and created a couple of stencils for t-shirt designs.  One of the stencils is in the shape of an ankh.  The other in the shape of a cross.

As you can see, the ankh stencil came out pretty good.  The cross one, not so much.  So, I didn't bother taking a picture of it.  Using a white fabric marker, I traced the ankh shape onto the front of a black t-shirt.  Once I get some white fabric paint, I'll be able to fill the ankh in.
