Well, almost Halloween...
It feels like it's over because we already celebrated it on Saturday at the Green Fool's Party. It was super fun! Steve and I won a costume contest. The 'Artsy Fartsy' category. We went as American Gothic, the painting by Grant Wood. We won this painting as our prize!! Sorry for the crappy quality, but it's quite huge and really colorful! It's done by a local artist who has also done a few murals around the city. I was really excited about winning this. That's pretty neat to get an original painting. (and nice to have an original painting that isn't mine hanging in my house)
In other news, I decided to poke a hole in my head. I got my upper ear pierced. Not sure what you call it, it's through the cartilage, but not in a place that most people get done.. When I went to the piercing place, I actually wanted it a bit lower but the guy doing the piercing said he didn't want to go much lower in case it got infected, it has the potential to infect a facial nerve, leaving half my face paralyzed (rare but still possible). I thanked him for his opinion and opted to NOT have that happen. So it's higher than I wanted, but it's growing on me (haha, no pun intended) and I really like it.
