so i got this notice in the mail yesterday.

apparently, we have a level 2 sex offender moving into the neighborhood. there was more info inside. this guy apparently “maintained a consensual sexual relationship with two girls, ages 15 and 16, who were known to him”. good to know that he probably would not be interested in a 54 year old. though it never hurts to keep a vigilant eye.

an 11 year old girl protects herself and home with a $99.99 pink rifle, after 3 criminals break into her house. full story here. more about the rifle here.

i’m sure you’ve come across these types of images in your travels. yesterday, i suggested to my husband that perhaps the user of such images on their vehicle is much like the use of decoys in hunting, where by placing a number of decoy ducks in a pond would bring along some real ones.

we got this cool plastic shot glass set today at the high end grocery store. we paid way too much for it, but at least they won’t break, and they’re all spooky and stuff.

my vampire scope for today. it’s like a horoscope, only for vampires. or halloween. or something. via alloy.

we finished up one complete costume for halloween today after work, hooded full length robe along with skulled staff. it’s been a while since i’ve used a sewing machine, but it seemed (no pun intended) to come together fairly well. we used black denim as the material for the robe, which hangs quite well, and ought to keep us warm on those chilly romps through the moonlight. tomorrow, we’ll start on the second hooded robe.

getting ready for halloween.

for your viewing pleasure…
