We got to decorate at the Museum again. There's my Day of the Dead skeleton dressed as a gypsy.

That's a corpse bride drawing I did on the white board.

That's me dressed as 1970... It probably would have been more wild due to the fact that I had to do this before work and getting up early is not my thing. Could you believe it, I couldn't find any black eyeliner... it's probably a good thing or I would have ended up saying... just a little more eyeliner.... just a little more... and then I wouldn't have looked 70s at all. I didn't have as many wild colors of makeup as I would have liked but I did have glitter. Believe it or not, the hair was the hardest part. Making your hair flat and straight isn't as easy as it seems. I think I have more crap in my hair here then I did when I spiked it. I don' t think I got the part quite perfectly. I remember when I was growing up, how my mom used to work so hard at getting her part so right. It was a really big deal, almost like a religion. I remember that when the babysitter did my hair which was most of the time, she would do little barretts and things, but when my mom did it, she would do that perfect part in my hair. That was the 60s...and the 70s. The funny thing is that in the 60s hair and make up was really natural. In the 70s, hair was still natural, but make up got crazy. In the 80s, both the hair and the make up were crazy. It's wierd that the 70s is like a hybrid of the two. I think my make up here is actually a little more 80s than 70s, but what can I say? And in the 60s, the idea was get the part perfect, but in the 80s the part was not supposed to be perfect.

 Watched the first episode of Reaper last night. I thought it was pretty funny. My favorite scene was when the main character suddenly has this creepy guy appear in the backseat of his car. He thinks he's being carjacked, but the man says reassuringly, "I'm not a carjacker.... 

"... I'm the devil."

Here is a pretty cool picture of the Moon from Wednesday night. Actually, the moon was really neat - it was bright orange! The photoi pretty lame. You can barely see it. Sorry, I do not have a better camera. The red color is caused by light scattering in the atmosphere. Short wavelength blue light scatters faster creating the blue sky during the day. Long wavelength red light scatters more slowly which is why we see the red light near the horizons during sunset and with this moon. That is when the light has passed through the most atmosphere since we are looking across through the entire atmosphere to see the horizon. This is similar to what makes a prism work 

or a rainbow. 

Amber is doing alright. She is coherent now and is probably going to be pretty much ok physically. She is on a 72-hour hold right now. My mother and law are going to the Friday Night Art Walk tonight, I think. They are pretty hip and happening. Well worth checking out if you never have:


This picture is pretty lame. It is usually much more happening than this. The sidewalks are so crowded with wierdos you can barely get by. Last time we saw a guy driving a motorcycle that was a giant crocodile with flames coming out of his nose that growled!

Hey, Jason West says I need to post a Live Journal entry in order to be cool. The last thing in the world I want is to not be cool. So, here it is. Live. And, I'm journalling.
