Return of the Jack-O’-Lantern

Happy October 8th y’all!

Boy oh boy, 22 more days to go until my second favorite holiday (Christmas and Thanksgiving are tied at first) officially begins. Thrilled to bacon bits!

I’ve been browsing costumes on the web lately, not because I’m planning on buying one for myself but because I’m trying to guess which of those excusably slutty outfits my volcanic hot college girl neighbor would show up in come trick or treat. Now I got ants in my pants! But no, I shall restrain myself. I’ll talk about costumes another time so hang on for that one.

Aside from the obvious such as urban legends and sweets, one more thing that I look forward to are the majorly awesome decorations. Haven’t seen much of them yet outside but I did stumble upon some cool pumpkin carvings online.

As geeky as it gets

Heeeere's Johnny!

Now that's just classy

Speaking of pumpkins, Blizzard’s pumpkin-carving contest should start any day now. Diehards would know that it’s an annual tradition and 2009 marks its seventh year.

My pumpkin carving skills (fine, carving in general) are below average at best but if I could be Jack-O’-Lantern Extraordinaire for a day, I’d recreate Wrath of the Lich King.

Now I wanna hear from you oinkers. Struck by the Halloween fever yet?
