Halloween display

Currently I'm only able to find four good pictures from halloween; hopefully I'll be able to find more later.  Anyway--

Our halloween display was a bit more structured this year.  In the past, I basically took stuff out of our many halloween bins and put it up in the yard.  This year I actually took the time to think it through a bit, and came up with something that was both scurry and rather cool at the same time.

To start, right at the foot of our driveway (on the right hand side) I made a little graveyard consisting of 6 spray painted cardboard gravestones with the names of various Harry Potter characters that died in the 7th book on them.

To the left of the driveway was basically a big jumbled mass of spider web that didn't hold up too well against the rain the previous night.

A little further up the driveway, hidden somewhat in the bushes but still quite visible was a TV.  The TV is off by default, but when you walk by it, a motion sensor makes it turn on and go all static.  Picture, woo!

Next, right at the top of the driveway, hidden in such a way that you can only see her once you're about three feet away is boxy paper mache Samara! Ohgod!

Off in the distance, you can see the well.  It's a little bit big, but that's for dramatic effect.

On halloween we had fog coming out of it and a strobe light inside, it was quite cool.

Also, in our garage we had some pirate related stuff--

Did you know that all it takes is a few streamers and some ductape to keep pirates locked up?

Also, we made a big boo (a ghost from Super Mario Bros) by sewing a giant baseball type thing and stuffing it with newspaper, no pictures right now though.

I LIKE HALLOWEEN

I WENT AS DUMBLEDORE BUT I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE RECOGNIZED ME. ONE GUY THOUGHT I WAS MOSES THOUGH, AND ANOTHER GUY THOUGHT I WAS GANDALF WHICH I GUESS IS KINDA CLOSE. NOW I HAVE TONS OF CANDY WHICH IS A VERY GOOD THING.

ANYWAY, EARLIER TODAY I RECORDED ME PLAYING (AND SINGING, ALBEIT QUIETLY)THE FIRST MINUTE OF "THIS IS HALLOWEEN" ON THE PIANO. I REALLY NEED TO PRACTICE IT MORE, BUT I FIGURED I'D UPLOAD WHAT I'VE GOT SO FAR SINCE IT IS HALLOWEEN. IT'S KIND OF SILLY HOW THE SINGING CAME OUT LIKE THE MARILYN MANSON VERSION BECAUSE THE SOUND IS MAXING OUT.

Most of you have probably already seen this in person, but...

I took a video of my self playing most of the songs I know from the Legend of Zelda series on piano-- Link (get it? teehee)

OH AND ALSO WHILE WE'RE ON NO PARTICULAR SUBJECT, I PLAYED A 60SISH ELECTRIC ORGAN TODAY AND IT WAS REALLY FUN. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD BASE PEDALS THAT WERE LAID OUT LIKE PIANO KEYS.

Other stuff you should probably know

I WAS GOING TO SET MY JOURNAL'S STYLE (OR LAYOUT OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED) TO CUTENESS ATTACK, BUT THEN I DECIDED I VALUE MY EYE SIGHT SO I WENT WITH THE SNOWMEN.

I don't always use caps lock, but I feel so small and powerless without it.

Also, if there were two witches watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch? Personally, I think they would each watch whichever watch was around their persons' wrist. Of course, if the watches in question were simply sitting on a night stand or something of similar nature, each witch would probably watch the watch closest to that particular witch. Unless of course the set of witches or the set of watches or possibly both were occupying the same exact location in three dimensional space, in which case the universe would probably explode or maybe simply start going backwards. (Which would be hecka cool, by the way. Except for the fact that our brains would function backwards as well, so we wouldn't notice it. That's probably for the better though, as being sucked back into the womb and then slowly being turned into the essential components that make up a fetus-- the bulk of which is food that your mother would un-eat-- probably wouldn't be a pleasant experience by our forward-moving-universe standards.)

/gasp

GREETINGS FRENDS

THE FIRST THING YOU'LL PROBABLY NOTICE IS THAT I NEGLECTED TO PUT THE LETTER "i" IN THE WORD "FRIENDS" IN THE SUBJECT LINE. THIS MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT A TYPO. IT IS ALSO NOT MADNESS. (And it's not sparta either, in case you were wondering). IT IS ACTUALLY JUST ME PURGING UNNECESSARY LETTERS FROM CERTAIN WORDS.

SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST ENTRY, I SUPPOSE I REALLY SHOULD TELL YOU A BIT ABOUT MY SELF. THE FOLLOWING ARE PROBABLY TRUE--
I AM A HUMAN BEING.
I HAVE HAIR, AND NOT JUST ON MY HEAD.
I HAVE TEN FINGERS AND 10 TOES. (I SPELT THE NUMBER THE FIRST TIME TO MIX IT UP A BIT.)
ALSO I'M WARM BLOODED, THOUGH MY TOES DO GET COLD AT TIMES.

THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT TRUE--
I ONCE BEAT A BEAR IN A KICK BOXING MATCH.
I ONCE BEAT THE LAST BOSS OF THE NINTENDO GAME "MIKE TYSON'S PUNCH OUT!!" WHICH, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, IS MIKE TYSON.

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT OF BOXING, CAN A MATCH BOX?

OH, AND THE REASON MY NAME IS INFINITY DUCKS IS BECAUSE NOTHING BEATS INFINITY DUCKS. WELL ACTUALLY ONE THING DOES, BUT I WILL NOT GO INTO THAT AT THIS TIME.
