Harvest moon!

tonight is the Harvest Moon, it will be 12 percent bigger than the usual full moon and will pass before the Pleiades, so if you know how to operate your telescope (i don't), there you go!

and for those of you who will be frolicking au natural in secret rituals during the equinox--watch out for cops! ;)

the picture! the picture above is my lame attempt to capture an orange moon a few weeks ago--it was reddish orange probably because of the pollution in the air above los angeles--heat and smog combine to cause that hazy look with the sun as well. there are orange sunsets here, and not of the pretty, 'oo tropical' kind, but more of the ominous, alien landscape kind. i like my alien landscapes on alien planets! i just feel inspired to wear a gas mask when i see these things.

in other news, Ansari fell from the sky, safe and sound, you've probably seen the pics of her relieved face upon landing on mother earth. that is just so cool. i say hurray for islamic women who can take (secret) heart in her achievement!

ok, i'm going to light out of here but i promise: brushes, inking, whatever, i'll cover it next. ;) one hopes. thanks to everyone who has been so supportive--thanks for buying books and art (you know who you are!), and thanks for commissions and donations. the site is waiting for its new duds--waiting for me, actually, to re-format everything to the new look tinna designed, so geez, that needs looking at as well. until then, lets all do what we usually do to pay the bills and--

look up into the sky!! clouds!!

much Love under the stratoshere,

....ok, very quickly, because i have to speed down the highway (with my radar detector) for my blue collar gig in about ten minutes:

Wirefly X-Prize Cup

(promises not to overturn on the freeway)
next: brushes (??)

hi spooks! boooooooooooo.

i am so tired, i can only take hazy shots of my pumpkins. and reflect on Linus and his lonely faith in the Great Pumpkin. how are you spooks? wear a costume for me and go dance. i'm afraid that i am, as always, *really* behind on emails and stuff. thanks for your patience. just a shout out to bink!! bink!! bink!! dear binky: i haven't deboxed her yet because i want to savor the moment, but Thank You very much. :DDD she gave me a customized vampire Willow, tee hee. i love dolls.

speaking of dolls, this is the real size of me pumpkins:

they're so cute!! that photo was unintentionally kind of creepy. that's because i haven't lit this set up at all. i wonder if anyone's tried to carve miniature pumpkins? i'm sure it can be done.

i need to continue the conversation about Susanoo at the Charm School yahoo club (i haven't forgotten miz tita! ;D), and i have to err...resume the promised 'how i ink with brushes' talk. and i def. have to mention the Wirefly X-Prize--did anyone watch? i caught some of the internet broadcast, it was fun! :)

you know how parents take these bright photos of their costumed kids before they go off tricking and treating? that's what this reminds me of. she needs a little pointy hat. ;)

g'nite spooks! Happy Halloween!!!

yours in Vampire dreams,
~spooky e
