MOLDS!

This Halloween is going to be all about Dia de Los Muertos for me (even though it is actually the two days after Halloween, but still, it's my theme). I am also making sugar skulls! I finally received the molds in the mail.



wooo! I'm super excited. I'm even going to paint my face like a skull for Halloween! sigh. I think I'm a bit, too excited about this. I've still got a long way to go before I can relax from school, but seriously this is just so exciting. I had to go to party city to get some stuff for a class, and they are already taking out their Halloween stuff. It's getting to be that time of the year. FABULOUS!

Tour

I finally got Juan to go to Miami Cemetery on Saturday. Finally! I knew he'd like it. I don't know why he resists sometimes. I totally know what he likes. I think he hates admitting it to himself.






He even befriended a guy who looks after the graves of some of the soldiers.

Well, you know..

I understand many people are upset by this season's Don Draper. Everyone expected the same character as seasons past. But I see what Weiner is going for here and I have to say I like it. We're so used to our lead/awesome characters being well, awesome, all the damn time. But if it is one thing Mad Men is known for is gritty character development. Realistically speaking, what happened to the character of Don Draper at the end of last season, was NOT A FUN TIME and the result, is what we're seeing now. I also get the feeling that we're seeing TV character Karma in full effect. Action/Reaction. So he's shaken and not so confident, so he's on a self destructive spiral, so what. That shit happens. It's happening to Don Draper. And the embarrassment I felt for him last night watching him try to hit on that girl was freakin'gold. If the goal was to elicit emotions and empathize with the character, they did a good job.

So there. Stop the hate.

Summer On South Beach

Hung out for a little while on South Beach on Saturday. Nothing really, just shooting some buildings for a Deco Poster I'm supposed to be working on. It was an inspiration assignment. This weekend felt odd. Like I chose to not do much, which rubbed a few people the wrong way -since I'm supposed to "never stop". Get a life.

I finally saw Kick Ass and it was indeed, kick ass.
Here are a couple of pics.
