Hey Maine!!!

Leviticus 11:9-12 says:

⁹ These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
¹⁰ And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
¹¹ They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
¹² Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Deuteronomy 14:9-10 says:
⁹ These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
¹⁰ And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

Hey, just F to the YI and all. Your lobster industry...it's an abomination. Just like the homos. Same book. So...I'm waiting for the petitions to begin soon, right?

YAY South Carolina!!!

Following on the heels of scandal after scandal, another Republican South Carolinian politico was fired today. He was spotted parked in a cemetery with an 18 year old stripper, a bag of sex toys and Viagra.

While on his lunch break.

Unfortunately, when the police approached, Roland Corning sped off. He was on a one lane dirt road behind the cemetery when he was stopped. I'm going to assume that the 18 year old wasn't there for free.

Oh, South Carolina. How you amuse me. Who knew I would have a South Carolina tag!

Damn.

So, it was a little windy yesterday. 10,000 people in L.A. are still without power and that's about a quarter of what it was last night.

Most importantly, half of my Hallowe'en display ended up in the street! Thankfully, the husband was home to retrieve it all and once the winds die down, I'll reset the whole deal.

Thankfully, our power stayed up through the night (Thanks Burbank W&P!!!), so I was able to finish the majority of my gown and set my wig! Tonight, I'll be finishing the gown and doing some baking for our office potluck.

Lesson learned. Next year, I'm doing my gravestones in concrete.

Remiss - 5 DAYS 'TIL HALLOWE'EN!

Remiss, I say!!! Unfortunately I have spent way too much time at the cemetery this Hallowe'en season as my grandma died last week. Therefore, despite massive preparations ongoing for the Hallowe'en season, I have had some problems with posting and getting photos.

Today, because I feel like I have to post something, I'll post links to some of the haunters I'm stalking around the intertubes these days. I've found them through the Countdown to Hallowe'en.

Shellhawk. I found her pretty late on in the month. Shit. She is powerful talented. Look at this gravestone she made. Now come ON! That's just freaking AWESOME! I wish I could apprentice with some of these people. Like Dave Lowe who not only builds his own props but also is an incredible artist. Here is one of my faves.
Then there's just the all around creepy like SpookyBlue who brings us this terror.
And one of my favorite things about all three of these haunters is that they are EXTREMELY generous and provide how to's for some of their projects. Awesome.

I will indeed be bringing photos of my haunting up to this site. In the meantime, check out some of these other sites.

Set up

I've been slowly setting up the new and improved graveyard out front but this weekend is the big push. Today I dragged all of the Hallowe'en props and craft items out of my craft room and made some piles which consisted of:

• Body parts
• chain
• flowers
• paint
• architectural details
• spiders
• tools
• lighting
• cages
• fabric and patterns
• kitchen, baking and party supplies

And sorted them in the living room.

Here's some photos.

Tomorrow I drag out the ladders and really get moving on the details.

Woah. Seriously Ralph?

Happy Hallowe'en!

Love, Ralph

All hell has broken loose

New York trip is cancelled. So, no new gravestone photos but more time to work on my yard display.
