Hearts of the Month: February 2012

PERSON - Kevin Smith
Smodcasts, (most of) his movies, live "Evening With" shows, playing street hockey... I could watch him do pretty much anything (and have done all of the above). I loved that at the beginning of February he broadcast his show "Kevin Smith: Live from Behind" from Toronto live to Cineplex theatres all over the country. He is just all kinds of fantastic and I am super excited to be seeing him live for the 3 (or is it 4th?) time this summer!


COMPANY - ThinkGeek
They have the most incredible customer service team I have ever come across. I had some shipping issues early in the month and they cleared it up quickly and beyond generously. I have never had a bad experience with them.


QUOTE - Won-Ton Jim
My sister was attempting to sing "The Saga Begins" by Weird Al and when it came time for her to say "Qui-Gon Jinn" she said "Won-Ton Jim". I am still laughing about it and this was weeks ago.


THING - Costume Parties
I have 2 costume parties a year, one about every six months. In the winter, for the Oscars and in the summer for my birthday. Call me a loser if you like but I just can't help but love a good theme party!

What You Wearing Wednesday: Halloween Roundup

Okay, so I am cheating a bit. I'm not wearing these today, but I just wanted to share this year's Halloween costumes!

Here I am, looking a little disheveled as the Queen of Hearts:


And here's my scaryiest costume yet!
A crazed Twilight Fan!
I STILL CAN'T GET ALL THE GLITTER OFF!!

Another Halloween has come and gone. So sad. I wish Halloween was a week long event. Or, ya know, every day. I love everything about it. Carving pumpkins, making a sweet costume (you gotta DIY it! It's way more fun than store bought! And way more original!), seeing everyone else's sweet getups, some of the best parties of the year...

This year I went the nerdy route with my pumpkin
Get it?

I also went an equally geeky route with my costumeIf you are not familiar, I went as Ash from the Evil Dead series (and MUSICAL!), complete with homemade paper mache/juice jug chainsaw hand. I'd like to think it was a big hit.

It's sad to think I need to wait another whole year to do it all again.

On an upnote, I can now start listening to my Christmas playlist and get down to organizing the annual Secret Santa event!

I love the holidays!
