Celebrate Your Dead
**
DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS
I love this holiday. I'm all for holidays of universal significance. Plus, who can resist all of the cute calaveras?
For some interactive tips on comtemporary and traditional DDLM altar making, go here.
**As you can see by the watermarks, I borrowed this image from the artist's website - she is truly talented, so feel free to go and check out the rest of her art - just something I found while surfing.

Emerson Electric
Some of you have already heard about my moment of grace earlier this week and know why there is a picture of a fan above this text. For those who have not, allow me to clarify:
Monday night I accidentally got my thumb caught in a fan exactly like this. This is an antique Emerson Electric fan circa 1940. All metal, I think mainly iron and brass - it is the heaviest and sturdiest fan I've ever picked up. And let me assure you that those are nice and sturdy metal blades too. These fans are very powerful and were known for being really great air throwers. This little fan cooled almost as much as a newer model fan we had in the house that was about 7 times bigger.
....and I got my thumb caught in it. It is fortunately still attached, but a layer of skin was pretty much completely sheared off the top of it. It is disgusting looking....still...and this is 5 days later. I've chosen to spare you the visual aids.
Fun. As for why we were running a bunch of fans in my house...our a/c went out 2 days after Rita came through. We were without a/c for 9 days. 9 of the hottest end-of-September/beginning-of-October days on record. Yay.
I'm not going to rant about that here. I've already done that enough, as many of you know. =P
K, well I am off to Bryan/College Station to see some music. I haven't been there in like 12 years or so...oughtta be interesting.
