The closest people to me on this planet range from atheist to devoutly religious, to “quantumists” like me (who, without espousing organized religion or personified gods, believe that science and spirituality are one). We can ALL benefit from reminders of love and family, whether biological family, or the family we choose for ourselves.

Christopher Lee has 276 film credits to his name, and at the age of 91 has just released his SECOND heavy metal Christmas treat (how was I remiss in posting the first one when I went nuts over it last year?).
He has a new single “Jingle Hell” out on A HeavyMetal Christmas Too (and the b-side is a cover of Sinatra’s “My Way!”)
This man is just remarkable. A perfect bellowing British voice, so awesome in his many roles. And metal records at 91!
His Christmas message talks about some projects and sends his best wishes.

If you’re sick of sweet holiday cartoons (and heartwarming movies about Christmas dogs…what’s with all those?), check out the Salad Fingers 10th anniversary episode!

After an arduous trip back to LA to stay with family, and a bunch of medical appointments to get through this week, gravity decided to have some fun and drop a large bottle on my foot, breaking my big toe [edit: turns out I have a bad bone bruise, but no cracks!].
Off to the hospital for X-rays. How awesome is that for someone in my condition? Don’t be jealous, folks. We can’t all be this lucky.
Here’s a great song about bones, while I’m gone today.
Due to illness, it’s been well over a year since I’ve done any kind of crafty project. I miss crafting every single day! Although I’m not actually able to leave the house this Halloween, that’s no excuse not to try to make my own fun here!
My lovely cousin Alaine and I had a mini craft party so I could make an idea I had been pondering this past week: ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES SHIRT!
If you are not familiar with this fine film, it is a must-see for any B-movie fan.
So here’s my shirt. I could see people perusing the booths of horror conventions wearing a fine killer tomato face.
Here it is, stuffed with a pillow, looking all round and evil (I’m way too skinny to give it its rightful shape).
I found a random bottle of green hairspray in the house (jackpot, right?) so I thought I’d make my hair into tomato “vines.” This was a marvelous failure. I couldn’t get much color to actually come out of the bottle, so I ended up with splotchy green patches here and there, and a whole lot of compressed air shooting in my face.
Now look at the camera and say FAIL!
I also made a valiant, though completely unsuccessful, effort with the bathroom mirror to get a picture that showed me with the entire T-shirt. I couldn’t use flash due to the reflection, and without flash I couldn’t stay still enough to get a shot that wasn’t blurry enough to be considered bad conceptual art.
Oh well.
As you may remember from Rabid Mouse Attack, I really enjoy making cheap, cheesy horror costumes. Are you dressing up this year? Did you make a costume?

My October tradition involves digging up all manner of nostalgic and/or spooky cartoons, TV shows, movies, etc. (from silent era to present) and watching these goodies every day of the month.
Today I give you a random treat bag of 80’s Halloween sitcom full episodes (Note: I have not watched them all yet, so I cannot say with conviction whether they are “totally tubular” or “grody to the max.”)

Though a slight departure from my standard subject matter (Do I have a standard? Maybe not. I cast a wide net here), I have to share this cat video. You will chuckle out loud…probably a number of times.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled arts and oddities for…AUTOTUNED CATS!
This Game of Thrones theme will stay in your head all day…maybe longer.
And now some Daft Punk. The squeaks around the 1 min mark MAKE this thing:
Got any others like this to share with this crazy cat lady?

Despite my tendency to hoard information and media like a madwoman, I’m generally ignorant of pop culture. I do, however, know that Adele had a huge hit with Rolling in the Deep.
The following video gives Adele a little healthy competition with some rewritten lyrics. This brilliant parody is also an advertisement for Keith’s ceramic company.
Love it. Go Keith.
