Where to start? Last night I decided to attempt another cheesecake experiment, this time choosing to make a pumpkin cheesecake for Autumn. This one was much simpler than the dark chocolate one, and so it didn’t take me as long. In the end, the cake came out not as pretty as I’d hoped for, but not bad looking either. The overall taste was great. Smooth, sweet, and pumpkiny. I didn’t like the softness of the crust, and if I choose to make this recipe again I’d probably bake the crust a little longer. But the recipe was easy to follow and the results were definitely worth it.

So. Yeah. Halloween’s just 15 days away. We’re having a Halloween party at Stewartland this year. Our neighborhood has almost a trillion kids in it, and on our street alone there are 65 (and our street’s not very long!) So Halloween should be fun. I’m thinking I may wear my awesome mullet again…
I decided to jump on the bandwagon with David and Crystal. I’ve been toying with the idea for a while, but finally the inner author in me decided to take a dive. I signed up for the NaNoWriMo challenge, which is a challenge to write and finish a 50,000 word (or more) novel during the month of November.

My step-dad’s having surgery today. Back several months ago he was helping his dad cut some limbs out of a tree and he fell. I think it was around 17ft or so up in the air. He’s really lucky to not have more damage than he does, but he does have a lot of damage (crushed bones and the like in much of the right side).
Speaking of lucky, check out this video of a six-month old baby surviving being hit by a train. Apparently his stroller rolled down a ramp just as a train was heading into station and was hit. His mother rushed to get the stroller and the train crashed into it as she was reaching for it. Thankfully no one was hurt.
Oh, it looks like Joe Abercrombie will be shelved slightly longer than I thought. I forgot that I have a library book to read (the next volume of The Fate of the Jedi series), but after that I’ll jump on The Last Argument of Kings.
I guess if you’re wanting to read a shout-out to why Chewie is the best sidekick in the Sci-Fi realm, you can click on this link. The article is actually pretty dead-on and quite funny, too. I always liked Chewbacca much better than 3PO. That’s about it for today. Sorry. Maybe better luck next time. Reviews next week!
