Thanks to my book club I'm filling a hole in my science fiction awareness - Banks's Culture novels.

I bought myself a Lego car at the grocery store, and the minifig that came with it is the biggest douchebag imaginable.
I'm going to have my minifig Incredible Hulk put him in a perpetual chokehold.

We didn't get it together to carve pumpkins until Monday night, but I'm pretty happy with how we did as a family. (Sarah's pumpkin was Bert-shaped and she twisted my arm into making an Ernie.)

In happier news, my quest to make filling vegetarian meals that my 10yo will enjoy has driven me to this new madness:

Today was Autumnfest at our church, First Unitarian Society of Madison, and let me tell you that you haven't lived until you've eaten food truck falafel in a FLW sanctuary while listening to an Irish folk quartet, after feeding some goats at the petting zoo & winning earrings in the silent auction.
