about smartcookie

i write about what goes on in my life. i write about things i think are funny. i write nonsense. i write about bodily functions.

i have a boyfriend/husband named nathan who loves video games. we get along great. about 7% of the time. any percentage greater is purely a curious statistical anomaly.
aww i love nate!

and as our story progresses, you may wonder who i'm talking about.

aside from courageous nathan, our main characters include:
oh. and i teach dance and like accounting. the end.

a huntington halloween

halloween represented in pictoral fashion (plus a few short sentences).

oh - and we had trick or treater's!! my very first halloween being on the other side of the door (although for like the past 6 or 7 i think i have not been ringing doorbells...). i actually got to pass out candy! which was weird. and caused alot of ridiculous pre-candy handing out stress. what do you say when they come to the door? is it lame if i'm wearing a costume? do you hand out the candy, or do they pick? will i have enough? what if i only get 2 kids? what if we get 90?

should i put the pumpkin on the porch (where it could catch some unsuspecting kid's cape on fire)? should they come to the front or side door (we live on the corner)? the front door is easily accessible, but has rickety stairs (lawsuit?) but the side door is harder to see if people are coming.

but i survived. here are some pictures.

the FIRST costume (this one didn't work out)

bewitching (notice my solution to the pumpkin issue.. put it on a chair! no one was harmed during the evening - success!)

1. decorating the apartment in a halloweenish setting.
2. making things with pumpkin in it - pumpkin cake, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin pie. mmm.
3. finding my way out of a corn maize maze*.
4. making jack'o'lanterns (inspiration).
5. making delicious ding dong spiders (inspiration).
6. hallowine mystery wine tasting tour.
7. living with a black cat.

PICTURES OF THESE THINGS (because pictures are more fun)

*yes i know that corn maize maze is redundant. i also know that when going to places where puns are so easily made (CORNy puns, i might add), you should leave nate. but i didn't follow either, so why start now?

foundations - kate nash

kate nash! why had i never heard of her before?! i heart british singers. and apparently she's rather young (19 according to google?). also apparently lily allen is a fan of

so this is her song 'foundations' which was released in june. while it slightly bothers me when singers sing/talk about stupid things (see lyrics: "Don't want to look at your face, 'cause it's making me sick / You've gone and got sick on my trainers / only got these yesterday "), i can get over it because i love the chorus. yay new artist!



kate nash!
