My so-called life

After driving down to Dripping Springs for a meeting, I came back, had dinner and watched ‘The Apprentice’. Around 10 o’clock I started on my jack o’lantern. I am now finished and am very tired. The pumpkin guts dried out my hands. It was either that or the gunpowder from the ‘black cats’ I used to decorate it.

Updated: Here is a pic of my pumpkin. It’s supposed to be a suicide bomber, hence the firecrackers I used for the beard and moustache. I actually won the jack o’lantern contest, which was a surprise to me. Lord British took some of the firecrackers out and blew them off during the meeting:

    He looks great! I especially like his big toothy grin. And the firecracker beard was a fun idea. You ever going to light them?

    Is his nose a potato? It looks cool – good thing all of your hard work paid off.

    Lovely pumpkin. He’s very Chris-ish, especially the teeth. It’s interesting to see something that reminds me so much of your drawings but that is three-dimensional–when you think about it, it’s sculpture, just sculpture made out of a giant fruit. Maybe you should try sculpting some more stuff!

    Yea, I’d like to do more stuff like that.

    What the heck did you carve it with, anyways? It kind of looks like you used one of those doodads you use to carve a linoleum block.

    That’s precisely what I used.
