This was supposed to go up yesterday, but I went so many places during the day, I just came home in the evening and fell asleep. I went to a local metaphysical store, and it was fun but basic things were expensive, so I just got a book for a friend, and then I went to the dreaded Hobby Lobby to get my Satanic Candles and Halloween chalice (because they were way cheap there and it made me laugh--white and green candles 49 cents each--true, not Blessed By the Goddess but still perfectly functional) and a red Christmas wineglass for 6.00, which is good because there is always a chance the raccoons will knock it over trying to get at the Halloween sherry or whatever booze I have in there--though for everyone's sake, I will put in on a dirt surface and it might survive.  (I also went to Trader Joe's, a much more pedestrian place, though I did get fancy marshmallows to eat). Then J and I went to the mall because it was too nice to sit at home, and walked around. And of cour...

Happy Little Trees!

(The character here is Gypsyangel's Roxanne , for Victoria7 at Daz 3d.com) I did get the new version of Daz Studio (4.9) to install, and it is a lot better than 4.8 as far as I can tell. For one thing, it renders for me, even with the Iray renderer, which does not play well with my low end video card..but it does render.

And the Game of Thrones costumes! Pop-up, light-up werewolf at the Spirit of Halloween. (I bought a bunch of theme socks). Bonus grasshopper; those, crickets and spiders are everywhere this time of year. We had an owl hooting all night outside our window, too.

Tuppy approves of having his tummy rubbed, though Greg Frost's cat thinks the camera should be put away and the tuna should come out: And then there is Stripey,for whom we had to actually turn off "The Mummy" last night because the scarabs scared her. She did the same thing with the little skittery things in Hellboy2--she was glued to the TV, terrified. I have the only cat in the world that actually get scared at horror movies, though to be fair I think it's the combination of the sound effects and the motion on the screen, and that we don't watch TV very often. Here she is under a piece of fabric that was over a doll immediately before she climbed under it. Back in Philadelphia, Wally Hayman carves a pumpkin--as an Emily Dickinson cameo. I knew he was a brilliant guy and a sound technician for some very famous people, but I had no idea he could carve awesome pumpkins.: Here Mr. Roboto is very excited to get his own little pumpkin: We did get three trick-or-...
