I've been doing some people watching lately.

Today when I was in the bookstore, there was a middle-aged woman sitting on the floor knitting in front of the shelf with all the books about knitting. She seemed kind of hidden, in between a cart of some sort and the column she was leaning against. I wondered if she was learning how to knit by reading the books without ever having purchased one of them. I wondered what was written in pencil on the pages of the notebook that was propped open in front of her as she knitted. I wondered if the store employees knew she was there. If any customers walked into the aisle she was sitting in, she would ask if she was in their way. I eavesdropped from the other side of the bookshelf as she recommended a knitting book to another middle-aged woman and then urged her to flip to the last page to read the very last line. I wondered what that last line was. I watched as the second woman's husband came to rescue her from the middle-aged woman who was knitting on the floor.

Redecorating tip:

A naked doll wrapped in plastic can transform any boring old basement into a quaint murder dungeon.

LEGO Halloween III Minifigures

I made these figures as a tribute to Halloween III: Season Of The Witch. It's not even a very good movie, but there are a bunch of little things I love about it. For example, the three masks.



Happy Happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. 
Happy Happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

Halloween Mood Table 2014

I've had this set up for a while, but finally got around to photographing it. Since becoming a boring, stupid adult, the Halloween Mood Table has been one of my favorite traditions. Here's this year's, illuminated mostly by the blue glow of my television.



There are still purple string lights and of course speakers underneath for Halloween music. Aside from my anatomically correct werewolf hiding in the shadows beside the ghost, I switched it up this year with the action figure choices. The ghost is actually a candle holder my family has had for decades. My sister and I dug it out of the attic.

LEGO Minecraft Pumpkin Mosaic

My town in Minecraft has two scarecrows that I made out of pumpkins, torches, and fence posts. One of them is named Pumpkin Escobar, and the other is Samuel L. Jack-O-Lantern.

To show my love for Minecraft pumpkins, I got out my LEGO Mosaic set and my orange bricks to make this.

LEGO Daniel has a space helmet.

For anyone wondering just how authentic the cracked helmet is on the 1980's-something space guy in The LEGO Movie, I found this helmet the other day when looking through my collection.

LEGO Daniel gave himself a mohawk.

After seeing the mohawk I recently gave myself, LEGO Daniel decided he wanted one too. He mostly did it himself, but it was kinda difficult to do the back, so LEGO Edward Scissorhands helped out.
