Thinkgeek Pumpkin Design: Meta Pumpkin

Filed under: Fun — Tags: , , — Justin @ 5:04 pm

The idea for this Thinkgeek Pumpkin Design is a “Meta Pumpkin” – just a rad pumpkin carved into another equally rad pumpkin.

Or to put it in the past, we could call it an Xzibit pumpkin. “Yo Dawg, We heard you liked pumpkins so we straight up carved a pumpkin on your pumpkin” – I could just imagine the photo op.

Just a quick post to link to some photos showcasing the outdoorsy fun we’ve been enjoying during this lovely season: Fall!

An Apple Picking We Will Go

Over the weekend, Justin and I went apple picking, wine tasting, stopped by a dairy for some fresh bread and cheese, and even spotted a baby black bear!  It was awesome!  I also go to sleep in on Saturday, which was brilliant and much needed.

Rugged Campers With Our Air Mattresses

The weekend before last, we went camping with some friends (Olivia, Alex, and Marisa) in Clarence Fahnestock State Park.  We also brought along Ruby and Eve.  Olivia was accompanied by her pup Winston.  Good times – even if our Hyundai was a little weighed down!

We sat around the campfire until the wee hours of the morning.  We hiked.  We roasted marshmallows.  Good times were had.  Marisa and I saved the day by jogging two miles down a windy road, mostly uphill, to locate our car.  Yah, we’re tough.

Enjoy the photos!

Five days until mine and Justin’s fifth anniversary!

Camping Out in Taconic State Park

Camping in Taconic State Park

The Sunday of Labor Day weekend, Justin and I loaded up our two pups and headed north with the intent to camp.  Naturally, we made no campsite reservations what with it being one of the busiest camping days of the year and all.  We hoped to grab a spot at Taconic State Park.  Oddly enough, luck was on our side!  Not only did we receive the last available dog-friendly spot, our neighbors never showed up!  We ended up having a fairly private campsite at the far end of the park near the singular puppy friendly hiking trail. Yay!

Check out our photos and videos >>

Should you go, this stuff is definitely worth checking out:

  • The now abandoned Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center which has been purchased with the intent to transform the property into The Knolls of Dover (I found video and photos inside the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center).
  • Rosemary’s Texas Tacos – This woman has bright purple hair and zany makeup!  The tacos were okay, the sweet tea was delicious, and the interior decor was other worldly.  Check out Rosemary’s Myspace for fun images and general insanity.
  • Justin and Pups at Bash Bish FallsBash Bish Falls State Park – super beautiful falls!  This park was a perfect stop for us because we were able to take the puppies on a little hike before driving all the way back to NYC.  Check out the park’s website or read an article about it if you’re up for it.
  • Taconic State Park – of course! It was nice and peaceful, and I expect we’ll head back someday!  Check out the park’s Wikipedia entry. :)

Congrats for turning 25 and still being just as awesome! Thanks for inspiring artists to make sculptures that I want to take photos of. And thanks for the hours of addicting entertainment you have provided to me and many friends. Listen to the theme music for old time’s sake. Other Tetris theme songs.

Begun with Internet Magnetic Poetry

Filed under: Fun — Tags: , , , — Vanessa @ 5:53 pm

heroes stumbling
quickly emptying
riches from the safe
grabbing the girl
on the way
out
an afterthought?

What is a hero if he is not rich?

Create your own work of art with internet magnetic poetry.
