I keep running into fun things on the intertubes.<\/p>\n
Online image-editing site Picnik<\/a> has tons of cool goodies for Halloween editing. A lot of it is premium. The service is great, and if I used it more often, I would totally upgrade. As it is, I stuck to the free stuff when I vamped up myself and the Spousal Unit.<\/p>\n When Edmund Stone, host of The Score<\/a>, went to Ireland and Scotland on an Earthbound Expeditions<\/a> trip with a bunch of All Classical<\/a> listeners, I was filled with envy. Especially when I found out those listeners got to sit by the fire in an old inn and listen to Edmund tell ghost stories. He has a great voice for it. Now you can listen too, as he’s put up two Poe stories on the Score website<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Persephone Costume Idea<\/p><\/div>\n I’m not much of a costume person. Last year I went to a party as a lolcat, and nobody got it. And I got the font right and everything! Sigh. That’s pretty typical of my costuming experience, so this geeky girl doesn’t go there. Take Back Halloween<\/a> almost makes me reconsider. Sadly, most of the costumes still have to be explained (never a good thing), but they are still cool ideas. Note: this is not a costume retailer, just an idea source. Kinda wish they did sell these things!<\/p>\n Oh man, do I ever wish these were sugar-free. So cute I’m tempted anyway, these are Krispy Skremes<\/a>, available for the season from Krispy Kreme. There’s also other cute stuff on the website.<\/p>\n Via Art of Darkness<\/a> comes Hide<\/a>, by Andrew Shouldice<\/a>. A very creepy little game for PC and Mac. I got killed in about two minutes. The graphics are old-skool, which is actually refreshing. It manages to be plenty<\/em> spooky, trust me.<\/p>\n Okay, I think I’m done, except for one last treat, again via Art of Darkness<\/a>:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/frykitty.com\/imagestore\/pumpicon.gif\" "\\"icon\\"")

2nd Street Cemetery<\/a>, which is fast becoming a favorite spookblog, has introduced me to the new tradition of Booing<\/a>. I vaguely remember doing something like this when I worked in an office several years ago. Can’t remember if it was Christmas or Halloween. Either way, sounds like fun in an office or a neighborhood.\u00a0 Get Booing.!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/frykitty.com\/imagestore\/krispy.png\" "\\"Krispy")
