Category: Halloween (page 14 of 14)

Snookums and I were checking out the baby pumpkins at the Hammersmith market today. So naturally my thoughts turn to Halloween and I look to the Net for inspiration. My first impulse was to do one of these cool emoticon jack-o-lanterns. I mean, it’s definitely appropriate for our Geek House. But then I saw these Martha Stewart monogrammed pumpkins and now I’m torn. Of course, if I did spend three hours making a translucent harlequin squash, somebody would only step on it in a drunken haze and I’d be all upset. So maybe I should just stick with the original idea.

Ohmygod. I want a Jedi baby! This is going to be *the* Halloween costume next year, mark my words.

The ghosts of Washington Hall

Happy Halloween! Here’s an Observer article about the ghosts of Washington Hall. Having spent a good portion of my college years in that building doing plays, I think most of this is crap. I’ve never heard any damn trumpets. But the George Gipp thing is freaky… Skip down to the quotes from Roger, who cleans the building. He’s a cool guy and he told me about seeing the ghost before. I totally believe him too. That place is kinda scary at night. (Lizzie, didn’t you climb in an open window there one Halloween night?)
