It's a guy thing

I read an article at Kodak.com on how to take Halloween pictures. I don't have a jack o lantern yet, so I experimented with my bat sconces and taking pictures with the flash off. This is what I came up with:

Well, it's finally started. The sky was still pitch black by the time I arrived at work. I'm not ready for this! I haven't winterized my lawn or planted my galic yet. I don't have a good winter coat. I haven't even bought a pumpkin or any Halloween candy. How on earth did this all happen so fast? What about September? Did I miss it? Oh yeah, the whole WTC and war thing kind of took over that month and the weeks after.

*change of subject before I get depressed* I ordered a pizza on Sunday and the pizza delivery chick was freaking out about my cat Loki. She thought he was huge, a monster of a cat. I kind of looked at him and thought he looked like he always did. Then I told her he was only a year old and was still growing. Now I'm getting worried about future cat food bills. How big can a cat grow? He's still skinny but tall and long and his paws are huge. I could end up with a three foot tall cat.

During the summer months I'd leave the back door open so the cats could play in the yard and eventually a couple of flies would get in the house. The cats loved this and would chase them down. Well, Loki always wanted to get the ones on the screen door so I started holding him by the butt and shoulder blades and we made up a game called "jet fighter." Loki is the pilot and he steers by waving his paws frantically in the air in the direction of the bug. You just steer him around until he gets the bug. Since Simon has moved in he's taken over being co-pilot during jet fighter rounds, so I guess it's turned into a guy thing.
