10/10. Halloween decorations on my walking route. Decoraciones de Halloween en mi ruta de caminata.
Halloween decorations. Fake tombstones with skulls and something above them that resembles a floating specter with a black robe. Halloween decorations. A tree covered in fake cobwebs, a little tombstone, a fake skull and a pair of hands coming out of the lawn in front of the tombstone, and a ball and chain near the place where the skeleton's feet would be. The window at the back is decorated with bat silhouettes.

I watched The Village again. It's much better than people give it credit for, IMO. You gotta view it like a modern fairy tale.

WTF is that grey monstrosity???
¿¿¿Qué carajo es esa monstruosidad gris???
Photo of a house all painted in dark grey, with windows painted in even darker grey. All straight lines, nothing pretty about it. The old yellow house beside it makes it look even uglier.

I hope it emerges, because it looks too homogeneously dark, and... that's how they look when they're dead. This is how it should look. They turn dark in the last few hours, and you can see the wings and all through the chrysalis.
Monarch butterfly chrysalis about to release a lovely butterfly. The wings patterns are already visible.

You can make the page gray, though. This is how my screen looks.

Yeah, it's so cool! I've been thinking of creating a lamp myself: a dragon around a lighthouse. The light could come out from the lighthouse and also the dragon's mouth. Could be made of resin. I'll post pictures if I ever get to make it. I have this cute frog lamp, though:
Lamp shaped like a silver frog, with pieces of mirrors in the belly.

Oooooh, that's a great lamp! *adds it to the list of lamps one would love to have*
Metallic anglerfish lamp.

It is, every single time! But I love to feed them, too. It's like having tiny sheep with many legs. Here's a picture of my southern Monarch caterpillars:

I love those so much! I've reared them myself, it's very easy.

Grey is unfortunately popular, though. I took this picture some weeks ago, in Montevideo, Uruguay. The other popular colors are white, beige, or naked red brick. I rarely see a house painted in pretty colors. My future house is going to be colorful, I swear.

I made this doodle many years ago, during a boring class.

Thank you! Now let's see how well I can translate this into a vector image (shouldn't be too hard; I've been learning how to use masks and clipping):

🖤 🤍 🖤 🤍 🖤 It's amazing how much can be done with vector graphics nowadays. I made a dragon mandala with Inkscape and I barely explored the features.
Vectorial rotational dragon mandala. The silhouettes are black, the wings are decorated with stripes, circles, and spirals, and the dragons are surrounded by circles, smaller rotational mandalas, and more spirals.

How about carving them?

En lo que a mí concierne, la arquitectura simple ya se vuelve bonita con plantas y colores. Aquí un ejemplo de arquitectura africana:
Casa africana. El diseño de la casa y el muro son sencillos, pero el fondo blanco está decorado con patrones geométricos de diferentes colores, y eso vuelve la estructura visualmente interesante. Complejo de casas africanas con murales de diferentes colores.

Two seconds. Now find the cat 🙃
A mountain of garbage. There's a cat somewhere, but I won't tell you where. By the way, humanity is disgusting. So much garbage. Ugh.

Ooooooooooh, I love them! I got a lot last summer, though they're Danaus erippus, so they're only black and yellow (no white stripes).

This movie is so cute! Why aren't people talking about it?
¡Esta peli es muy linda! ¿Por qué la gente no está hablando de ella?

It was not an insult, you stupid man! Have you ever tried cheese or bread without salt??
No era un insulto, hombre cabeza hueca! ¿¿Has probado alguna vez queso o pan sin sal??
Fragment from a fairy tale in the book The Green Fairy Book. The princess tells his father "she looks upon him as she looks upon salt in his food," but the king takes it as an insult and exiles his poor daughter.

Es la versión española de "el gobierno municipal de Montevideo (Uruguay) no hace un mal trabajo con la basura, es que la oposición está saboteando la gestión sacando las bolsas de los contenedores".
Los contenedores en cuestión:
Contenedor lleno y desbordado de basura, el cual no ha sido vaciado en varios días, obviamente.
