The Monster Mash

So, S. and I had the house all to ourselves this weekend. Mom was out of town for a wedding, as was K.

So, we indulged ourselves.

Friday, we each did our own thing. I ended up playing World of Warcraft until 5:30 in the morning helping one of the new guys in our Guild (The Kabal) run through some quests. Finally crawled into bed at the asscrack of dawn.

Saturday, we did some shopping. We picked up some stuff at the grocery store, thought about going to the mall, then turned around because it was so damned packed.

Then, when we got home, the FUN BEGAN!!!

We made some Chicken Tikka Masala! Yum! Got some garlic nan and onion kulcha to go with it too. It came out deliciously.

While that was marinading, we carved pumpkins!

We had picked up some stencils earlier, I downloaded a few, then we decided to have some fun. Here's a shot of each of the pumpkins we did:






I built a stand in front of the house with some stools and scrap wood, then I displayed them for everyone on the street to see!



And finally, all lit up!



Now, this would have all been well and good except for a slight incident.

You see, the house has two automatic garage doors. I had the one open, and I went to open the other one from the switch inside. As I did, I thought to myself "That's an odd noise." I turned to look at the door, and I see a pair of wheels just underneat the door, rising into the sky.

By the time I got to it, it was almost level with the ceiling. I had to go back inside and unplug the opener, then go get a bandaid for my finger which I sliced trying to stop this from happening.



"What the...?", right? That's what you're thinking, right?

Well, what happened was the handle of the trash can was caught by the handle of the garage door as it opened. I took a picture to prove it!



I ended up having to crush half the trash can to get it off the door.

Oh, well. It was still a nice weekend, and, yes, the trash can did make me laugh quite a bit.
