Longhorn Halloweeeeen

The UT art teacher club that I am in-CANVAS (capital area network for visual art studies) did face painting for Longhorn Halloween!

                       

 My Halloween costume was incomplete, and I accidently slept over 14 hours last night/today, so I threw on some hippyish clothes and called it a costume. 

Laurel painted a peace sign on my cheek to add to it a bit. 

An Asian organization of some sort had a booth next to us where everyone was dancing to Michael Jackson, Back Street Boys, High School Musical and Spice Girls. After painting "swirlys" on one of their member's faces, it was decided that I would NOT be painting the faces of small, squirming, sometimes crying children.

Glow stick bracelets were a HUGE hit and quickly ran out. I must say that I benefited greatly from this event, leaving with several batty stickers stuck to me, a friendship bracelet, three glow bracelets, three tattoos, and having tried Mary Jane candy for the first time. 

I'm pretty sure the kids enjoyed it too. 

My cheeky EGG tattoo by Laurel and my crackly smiley face by Marny. I want a real fried egg tattoo, but probably not on my cheek. 

Oddities in the form of Food

Bought some Garlic flavored mints at Toy Joy today.

Verdict: They began with an initial “Eh, these aren’t so bad.” Followed by a “Hmph, There’s the garlic flavor” ending with an “AcK! I think I’m going to refrain from eating those ever again now that my mouth tastes like a vampire puked into it.”

They also sold these little guys at Toy Joy. I’ll save them for my next trip and when I’m feeling like another good puke-in-de-mouth.

I can understand novel food, but seriously now, when should we draw the line?

I bought these for my step-dad last Christmas-

Why wouldn't sucking on wooden swine be a good idea???

Now, I will give out some credit. Bertie Bott’s Harry Potter Jelly Beans, complete with vomit and dirt flavor, do have some decent tasting lil’ beans.

I am in awe of the vast variety of beanage one can consume. I wonder how those taste tests go. "Today we will be trying out 30 prototypes for booger flavor...."

My personal faves: Black pepper, PICKLE!!!, grass, and buttered popcorn.
