A weblog by Laura Moncur 10/31/2018 Halloween 2018: Steampunk Communications Officer Filed under: General — Laura Moncur @ 6:27 am I decided to do steampunk for my costume again this year. https://youtu.be/F5xWHjO0SQE Comments (0)10/27/2018 The Oscar Meyer Weinermobile Filed under: Every Day’s A Car Show , Living in St. George — Laura Moncur @ 4:50 pm Before today, I had never seen the Weinermobile in person. Even better than the Matchbox version! Comments (0)Lucy and Lincoln: A Tussle and a Kiss Filed under: Lincoln , Lucy — Laura Moncur @ 2:25 pm Just a tussle and a kiss. https://youtu.be/4Y4NgaOpg7E Comments (0)10/26/2018 Purifying Peel Off Mask Filed under: General — Laura Moncur @ 6:13 am Today I realized why facial masks work. When you’re feeling like you hate your face and you want to pinch all the pimples that aren’t even there, you can put on a mask. The mask takes about 30 minutes to dry. During that time you can’t touch your face. You can’t gouge out something that isn’t there. You have to wait. Facial masks are just a thirty-minute time period where you can’t self harm.

We are fishing for candy fish. I feel like this should be the moment when it just breaks the suspension of disbelief and I can’t play anymore, but it isn’t. I’m perfectly willing to fish for fish that look like candy. I may be truly mad.

Comments (0)8/12/2018 Hose House Filed under: General — Laura Moncur @ 5:40 am 08-12-18: We have had this Ikea chest thing (Hol) sitting in its original box for about ten years. I finally put it together yesterday and sawed out holes so it can hold our water hose for the front yard.

Comments (0)10/11/2015 5 Summonable Entities Filed under: Halloween — Laura Moncur @ 10:27 am Sean and his friends recently discovered the legends about beings that can be summoned by saying incantations in the bathroom mirror. This list surprised me that there were so many. 5 Malevolent Entities You Could Summon But Probably Shouldn’t I tried to ally their fears about Bloody Mary by going into the bathroom without lights and a candle and saying her name the requisite number of times, but it just scared them so much that they wouldn’t let me say the last one. I remember being that scared when I was a kid and I kind of miss it.

I do believe that it’s something that Google uses to test YouTube in some manner, but it is very interesting. Why would they post it? I love fun mysteries like these!

Happy Halloween, my friends!

The technique is so good that it is gruesome. If you are planning a scary costume this year, this technique is a great idea. Via: She Wraps A Coil Of Wax Around Her Wrist — What She Turns It Into?

Will one of you guys bring them to the party?! I promise to vote for you for the Best Potluck Dish.

Of course, it only looks good from one angle and only if you’re standing in front of a black screen.

It was obviously faked, but it looked so good that it confused me. The only description was this: On its 100th anniversary, The Great Martian War tells the story of the catastrophic events and unimaginable horrors of 1913-17, when Humankind was pitted against a savage Alien invasion. It had the feel of a hundred year old film, but something about the way the Martians moved seemed unreal. It was touted as original and I just HAD to know what was going on with this example of creepiness. I found a link to The History...
