pumpkin time is here!

i cannot WAIT for pumpkin carving. i just can't. i didn't do it (for obvious reasons) either of my years at emerson, and now the time has finally come! well... it will come in two weeks, anyways! the suspense is getting to me. i've even started to research cool carving patterns for this year! woooooo!

mackenzie's possible pumpkin ideas:

1. finding nemo. i love finding nemo and all things disney. can't help it. why try. check out this nemo pumpkin... so impressive! > http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/pumpkins/nemo.jpg

2. translucent pumpkins. i'm not a huge martha stewart fan, but i must admit... that beez (or whoever does her website) has some great pumpkin carving ideas. i couldn't pick a favorite, so i went with the monogrammed translucent pumpkins, http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/pumpkins?#slide_22, but the whole slide show is pretty stellar. i also love the owl pumpkins, but they look quite tricky. take a look! > http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/pumpkins?#slide_14

3. DWIGHT SCHRUTE PUMPKIN. it can be done!!!! >http://www.instructables.com/id/Phot_o_lantern/ :D


in other news... more music! elise asked for more real people music ideas, and i have one!

you should listen to...

G. Love and Special Sauce. now, for being a music major, i'm not the best with popular music (or any other genre really). i tend to stick to the few cds i like, and that's it. i need to branch out more. one can only listen to jack johnson for so long. (that's a lie. i will always listen to him). anyways, apparently g. love and special sauce have been around forever, but i'd never heard of them until michael told me about them a couple weeks ago. i love them. so good. i'd say it's rap... but it's not really? rap with instrumentals? eh, just listen to them for yourself! i like their song blues music. here's a crappy youtube version of it, but it'll have to do > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF0QT7zJuz4&feature=related. let me know what you think, elise! :) oh, and after i made that jack johnson comment i just remembered that their song rodeo clowns features jack johnson. easy transition for me.

that's all for now!
