Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from all of us here at the Cavalcade. We spent the day at the DMW utterly hating our lives and now we are home for wine and pumpkin carving and wine and dinner and wine and horror movie watching and wine. We don't get trick or treaters because you have to be buzzed into our building, but that's fine because I hate kids any way. Although it would be fun to scare them...

Enjoy these attempts at costuming the felines. The mere presence of the pumpkin suit has made all the cats extra sassy. Better photos possibly forthcoming.

Pumpkins! And Maybe a Cat or Two....

Behold! It's time to pick pumpkins!



Moochie wants to go pick pumpkins. Too bad for Moochie.



Upon arrival. Screaming kids everywhere! Yay!



The hayride. More screaming kids! But some of them were kinda funny!



Casey and me.



The smallest pumpkin EVAR! AHHHHH! It's about to meet its DOOM!




Partial haul.



The loading of the full haul. Twenty bucks. All you can carry. We had two casualties.

Halloween Stuff!

Halloween is right around the corner, and even though I think every day is Halloween, it's still fun to be validated when you go out to buy frames for your prints of a squirrel serving a martini and a fox wearing Victorian garb. Michael's Crafts had their full Halloween inventory out and we had spectacular fun going through it all (and almost missed the 2:30 showing of THE LAST EXORCIST because I cannot ignore the lure of orange and black covering a craft store). Can't wait until Target puts out their stuff! Although in the last few years, Target has been slacking on their Halloween stuff and that used to be where I would stock up on hand towels and sandwich bags for the whole year! I'll cross my fingers.

Have some pics of us wearing silly Halloween themed hats. Sam's is the best. Mr. Tough Guy, I have a spade under my eye and I'm wearing a felt Frankenstein hat, what about it?

Happy Halloween!

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a really Happy Halloween, even though I live every day like it's Halloween, it's always nice to have the actual day come around so I don't seem so weird. Oh, fuck it, you know I love being a weirdo. Above is October Timothy inspecting the pumpkin I brought home for jack o'lantern purposes.

October approves the pumpkin and deems it ready for carving. We did carve it and I ended up with a serious a buzz and then burnt my arm trying to light the damn thing. That's what I call a successful Halloween Eve!

You perverts have a good one - We're off to the nation's capital to see Dethklok! How one sees Dethklok live is unbeknownst to me, but it should be fun!

Cool-Ass Halloween Cookies

Check out these cool cookies I found at the grocery store! The top one is supposedly a werewolf, but really, doesn't it look more like a sasquatch? Or some sort of retarded bear? I kinda don't even want to eat the poor guy, but you know all that icing is going to be damn delicious.

Then I found this dude - a gingerbread pumpkin guy and I've already eaten most of his legs. Which were really, really tasty. In fact, my mouth is watering for his torso. Literally. And he goes really good with pino noir. Pleasant surprise.

Finally, here's the cookie incarnation of Dracula. There was an unfortunate accident in transport, seems like he wasn't traveling in his own earth or whatever, and his side got mostly squished. I guess I'm just going to have to help him shuffle off his immortal coil and gobble him up.

I'm totally the Queen of Halloween today - I got these literal cookie monsters, baked two pumpkin pies, bought a pumpkin, am currently in the process of carving it, and am also roasting the seeds. I'm also having a werewolf movie marathon and just finished THE HOWLING. Gonna follow that up with Hammer's CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF and drink more pino noir and hopefully get this jack o'lantern carved without anyone requiring medical attention. Something about me and knives and carving up squash, I just get stabby. Happy Halloween Eve, ya'll!
