This all started when I saw this Joy of Tech comic last week:
I really wanted to do this, but since I have no money I couldn't buy myself a pumpkin, I wasn't. Marcus offered to get me one on Sunday (we passed by a church on Yale that was selling them for their youth group), so I accepted his gift. Almost as soon as we got home, I started carving. He took pictures along the way and you can find them in the Pumpkin Carving 2006 Gallery. I used some helpful hints I found reading Nitrozac's Mac O'Lantern Tutorial and at The Carving Dude. I just finished it about 5pm this evening.
May I present to you, the:
Wow, this thing was HARD! All those tiny little details around the eyes. But hey, I did it. I like it. That's all that matters. I can't wait for Marcus to see it when he gets home. The only bad thing? There were only seeds from one pumpkin. I went ahead and roasted them because I LOVE ME SOME ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS! It's my favorite snack in the whole world.
