Pumpkin Inferno! Upper Canada Village

Pumpkin Inferno

What a Halloween experience!
While haunted houses are a certain kind of fun, this festival gives you the opportunity to embrace Halloween in a much calmer relaxed fashion. An orange glimmer from the pumpkins creates an electroluminescent like feel, wrapping you in a warm glow of extremely creative and talented works of art. The drive to Upper Canada Village is quite easy, with signage spread along highway 401 and throughout the towns. A few things to remember on your trip.

1. A flash light
If you want to see the fish, which are monstrous! you will need a flash light or camera with good flash, I took both my Iphone and my Canon slr, the Iphone just couldnt get the job done.

2. Make sure to clear your memory card on your camera. There is A LOT of neat displays here, 100 pics of free space is just to little if you ask me.

To begin our journey click on the video below to add some Halloween themed music.

This is Halloween, this is Halloween, HALLOWEEN! HALLOWEEN!

Your underworld journey awaits!

 Having pumpkins carved into such dramatic pieces of art affixed over top of water is magical.

 Beavers and dam with loons swimming about.

While I love all animals, the loon is one of my favorites. When I think of wilderness in Canada, the loon and its call go hand in hand.

 Probably one of my better shots of the night. These are all raw tho, no photoshop done yet.

Its seemed to be one of those events where it just kept going, which in this case made it all the more worth it/amazing. So often you pay for something and are left wanting more at the end. This was one of those great occasions where you kept asking yourself around every corner,

"Holy jeez, theres more?"

I spent around 2 hours here, lol. Yes, a lot of that time was because of taking photos, but if I think about it, with no photos and just walking around, it would probably be a good hour+.
Definitely worth the money in my opinion.

I like this shot, with a little cropping and sharpening I think it will come out nice.

Your waiter for the evening. In all seriousness tho, they do have some type of restaurant available ( only heard about it, never went in), along with a few hot chocolate/snack shacks and a main store selling everything from ground flour to witch brooms and old time memorabilia. I must say, the store is beautiful, nice and bright, full of machines from yesteryear and lots of neat things.

BE FOREWARNED!

cocky I think so bloggy blog

I walked home slowly through the dark. I got out early that night. My Ipod died soon after class though. I saw a pit bull in the yard. She looked alert. She went into the bushes. I had to walk near them...it was the only way home. And then...she pounced. I stood still. She scared me. She came up to me. She opened her mouth...she aimed for my hand....and then...

SLIRP. Yuck. She drooled on my hand. I didnt mind though as it was freezing outside and her hot breath warmed my icicles for fingers. "Hi" I said. She was lost. Her leash was on with no ID. "Where do you live?" What a foolish question. This dog was truly lost. I think she knew what I meant...as she walked from the direction she possibly came from but ended up going in circles and tucking her tail in between her legs. I gave up. Mom surely would kill me if I took her home...even though I would very likely walk around looking for her owner...ESPECIALLY since she had a collar with leash attached.

I saw a man swiftly and anxiously walking down the street. "Did you lose a dog?" He came up to me "Yes please have you seen her?" I gave him reassurance and told him his dog took off about three seconds ago and to keep going straight.

And that is my latest vicious pit bull attack. She looked a lot like the one in the picture but very much more terrified.

Ok So I know I usually talk about my odd application experiences. Well...out of all of them I think JC Penney has been the worse. I mean I had to start over like...six times because of computer errors. One time it was simply because I couldnt change my previous payment history under my previous jobs. I mean one I put 7.50 and it insisted that I added another zero...so it was 7.500...

...

So then I entered it as 7.5 and it re-entered it as 7.500

lol

And during the survey thing...about 30 out of the 50 questions it had asked if I shopped at Jc Penney and what my favorite store to shop at is.

LAME

I mean thats as bad as Petco asking about a TV or GAP Inc (old navy) having most of their questions ask if I have ever stolen anything.

so as I was writing this blog I realized Gunther sounds like Takakura from Harvest Moon: Its a Wonderful Live Special Edition.

HAHA

Like when he says "Oooh you touch my talala" it sounds almost exactly like when Takakura says "ooooh" when you talk to him.

Anyway I just found out that when you have a daughter on Harvest Moon Wonderful Life she looks like the dad. That sucks because you need to do extra steps to have a girl...and I tried super hard to marry Nami...the redhead so I could have a redhead daughter =[

I have decided that all of my favorite trance/dance/house/techno/blah blah blah songs are all emo...except Lifestyles and pretty rave girl (Which I found out is by DJ S3rl NOT I am X-ray...please everyone make a note of it)

lyrics such as

"Heavenly, is all that, I could feel
Now your here
And left without a single feel
From this day on..."
-Markus Schulz Never be the Same Again

"Feeling sad and lonely
Cause I cant find you
Call your telephone
And theres never no answer
Said you love me
Kissed me
We were in heaven
Said Im sorry
Love you, want you forever"
-we all know that one

And I just ran into this really cool song while looking for this other song.
Beam vs Cyrus - Lifestyle (original mix)

death metal rooster and dirty yuckface

FIRST...death metal rooster. Its incredible so I advise all to watch.


Found that by accident.
So now...what about the grossness?

Well I had a bath net sponge (often called a loofah but I ensure you....it was like the one in the picture and NOT a loofah which is a plant used in the same way) and I left it out to dry. I just did laundry so I wasnt about to just wash it alone.

It went missing.

For a few months in fact. Well today I found it in my grandmas shower which means my sister stole it. -_-

Jokes on you sis

That bath net was used on Adams sweaty ass after not showering for a while. Yup thats right. It was a dirty net used on my dirty boyfriend. I set it by my stuff in hopes common sense would kick in and say "hey thats hers" but I guess it doesnt work that way when youre a compulsive idiot liar like her.

On top of that, I had my favorite pair of jeans go missing. Again, joke is on her. They were clean but I found out the thing I had them on was growing stuff. Then my rats played in them and pooped and peed all over them. Seeing as she usually stops by before going to work, this means she had to have carried it out with her. If she stole it on her way "home" then she slept with her dirty arm and side (seeing as she takes showers before work.) It made me WTF but I hope she liked the smell of mildew and rat excrements.
