The pie crust was thin and drooped. My delicate crimped edges sagged. Still tasted good with homemade whipped cream (not pictured).

Heading out for a night walk on the town. Just found out about this States of Independence podcast, about the origins and artists on Beggars Banquet. Excited to take the dive.

Do my eyes deceive me or did this app's icon just do an update? The butterfly looks a touch more cobalt with a slight hint of shading on the edges.

Some movies I recently watched. I Love You Forever was the one that forced me to go to reddit, curious what others thought. Was surprised at those who skewered it; not surprised by those that connected to it.

Soothing sounds of Portishead - Third. I love Portishead and this album took the longest to grow on me since its release in 2008.

Last night was the coolest most fun Halloween I can recall in years. Fun out front with friends/neighbors, then inside the house for a party that just kinda happened naturally. Second batch of cupcakes not a big improvement 😂🎃🧟♂️💀

Baking spooky cupcakes. These are Frankenstein('s monster) made from scratch as the test run. Turned out excellent for the bake and frosting but I hope to improve the design.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - All Souls. Perfect for the season and a wonderfully curated selection of songs. Sure, I kinda already associated many of these songs with autumnal qualities. But for a band with a stellar catalog of albums and compilations, this most recent one is a welcome addition.

Up late on a Saturday with the lights out except for an amber octopus lamp behind my head and a string of flickering lights inside cages of ravens wrapped around the banister. Loosely watching Halloween (2018) in the background while Thorns - Ærie Descent plays in one ear.

Happy Friday 🍻 This episode of Fresh Air with Terry Gross interviewing Ken Burns on his new American Revolution documentary played earlier this week. It was an interesting talk and a fantastic preview of the doc. Also, I was in the audience!

Got to see this show today which features a lot of Paul Romano's work. Totally mind-blowing seeing so much of his work in person all at once. That Leviathan painting for Mastodon is full of fun and surprises when you really stare directly at it for a while.

It's Friday and the weather here is so pleasant. It's also a therapy day for me. Looking forward to unloading some thoughts and hopefully feeling some personal growth.
