It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
October is only a few days away and you know what that means, right?
No, what October means is HALLOWEEN!
Since before I could remember I have always loved Halloween. My favorite costume was in 1984. My dad made it. It was a white sheet with the Ghostbusters logo drawn on the front with ‘Ghostbuster in Disguise‘ written underneath. It was nifty.
Nobody got it.
No one would take the time to read it so everyone just thought I was a ghost with the Ghostbusters logo. *sigh* Brilliance is so often unappreciated.

Halloween happens to occur during my favorite season of the year.

Fall is the perfect season for me. Cooler temperatures, low humidity, beautiful foliage – and assuming it’s not debris, buildings or humans, I like it when things fall to the ground. Leaves fluttering in the wind are one of my favorite sights and I get to see this in abundance during the month of October.
Future Jacks
So, this weekend I will be pulling out the Halloween boxes and choosing what decorations to hang. I hope to finish up my door wreath and maybe make a second for the kitchen door. I normally hang our Pirate Skeleton there but it may be time for a change.
Ah! For the love of FSM! Not that! Anything but that!
What have you got planned for the month of October?
It's the most wonderful time of the year...

First seen over on Wil Wheaton’s tumblr. And as we all know, Wil Wheaton is the king of the Nerds and Geeks. Don’t be a dick!
Happy Fall!
It’s the first day of Fall, which happens to be my favorite season. As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve already started working on Halloween decorations and -
Wait a second! I’m blogging two days in a row? OMG! It’s the apocalypse! Run! Oh, wait, never mind. It’s just a falling space station. Either way, be sure to duck.
Anyway, since this is my favorite time of the year and I’ve been in a funk lately, I’m trying to cheer myself up by celebrating the season.
I started last night by picking up a bag of Dunkin’ Donuts Pumpkin Spice ground coffee.
I would have preferred whole bean, but my grocery store stopped carrying whole beans, the bastards.
I had my first cup this morning and it was a yummy cup of Autumn.
Halloween Wreath
October is almost here and I’m already getting ready for Halloween. (Yes! Really! It’s not like last year when I didn’t do anything until three days before. Booyah!)
I haven’t finished yet – I’ll post pictures when I do – but my first project is inspired by this awesome Halloween wreath from The Art of Doing Stuff. I love her work and this was one of the first things I saw on her blog.
I have yet to find any black feathers so I bought some red feathers and black Halloween garland. Mine won’t really look much like hers at all (except for the skulls – I was able to find sparkly skulls) but this is my inspiration.
I don’t normally like ‘beefcake’ pictures, but…
…in this case, I’ll make an exception. Hum-a-nuh

New blog design
As any repeat visitor has no doubt noticed, I have installed a new theme for the blog. The developers of Graphene did a great job giving the user control over the look of the theme.
And no, this site is not going to become a ‘Doctor Who-only’ site, despite the fact that all of my headers feature at least one Doctor. I plan to create many more headers, I just started with Doctor Who and since there’s been 11 of those guys, well, it adds up.
Let me know what you think of the redesign!
