I'm immensely proud of myself. And also a biiiig big geek.
All the pumpkins that happened that night (on the landing at my friend's apartment):

What I did Friday morning: got my first ever speeding ticket. The officer kind of talked to me like I was a child, possibly because I clearly had no idea what to do when he pulled me over. (It took me a minute to even realise he was pulling me over, especially because I was almost in my parking lot.) I suppose I had it coming, though. Even if there was no one else in my lane, or even my stretch of road at the time. *sigh* Traffic school, I really don't have time for you. But here I come.

What I'm doing today:
Photobucket
(here's a secret: the piece isn't that good :( Our concert next week should be pretty awesome, though. Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor + Mahler Symphony No. 1. Thursday @ 8pm in Schoenberg Hall, tickets $5 with student ID!)

Hi! Here from [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge's link.

That Dalek pumpkin is awesome! Did you design it yourself?

Thank you! I did, it took me a few tries to figure out a workable pattern.

Also here from [livejournal.com profile] copperbadge's - LOVE the Dalek pumpkin. I NEED TO BUY PUMPKINS!

Thank you! I'm still excited about it. Pumpkins are beautiful. Do you plan to go to a patch, or a grocery store? If your area has CVS, they have some large pumpkins. Dalek Squash came from Trader Joe's, though.

I did my pumkin today! (http://mrsalemp.livejournal.com/15209.html) New Doctor Who logo, my friend picked up a pumpkin at the grocery store for me when she got hers :)

That is so cool! I would never have thought of even *trying* that, so hats off to you for both concept and execution!

(Yeah, also here from copperbadge. *g*)

Thank you! I was just relieved that the roundels didn't take all night.

!!! Your Doctor pumpkin WINS THE INTERNETS. ALL OF THEM.

That is super-awesome. Is it your design? Fantastic likeness of Tennant!

[identity profile] never-ender.livejournal.com 2009-10-26 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
It is not my design, I found it somewhere last year. There is a torchwood one too.

[identity profile] sigmaforsale.livejournal.com 2009-10-26 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, it's a glorious design. Can you send me a link?

I'm definitely admiring of your carving skill -- the edges look impeccable. Is the inside scraped really thin?

It's actually an artificial pumpkin. I used to carve real pumpkins, but then I always got so upset once they started to rot. All my hard work gone! So now I do a new artificial one every year and have a collection going :)

Thanks for the link!

Artificial pumpkin -- I never would have thought of that. My friends told me today that my pumpkin is, indeed, starting to rot.
