Trainspotting — jane @ 1:28 pm
Happy 2012 people! Let’s make it a happy and healthy year!
So, I thought it was appropriate to post a baby related item since babies are a symbol of the New Year. I ended up coming across this creepy sculpture called Big Baby. Brooklyn, NY artist Nina Levy was originally commissioned to create Big Baby for the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, CT in 2003. The museum was doing renovations and thought the baby would symbolize the museum’s “rebirth”. It ended up causing quite a bit of controversy and was vandalized. Now it sits in the de Cordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA. The baby is 7′ tall and I find it to be more than just a little creepy. Could you imagine driving down the street and seeing that baby just sitting there on a bench? I would think the thing might have caused a few accidents while it sat in front of the museum. For some reason it made me think of that movie Trainspotting. Maybe just because that gravity defying baby creeped me out too.
So, Halloween is over and the holidays have begun. I know I’ve been missing in action since Halloween, but many many different things have been going on in the last month. Starting in January things are going to change a lot for me. I will be starting a new business venture and ending an old one. I won’t be sharing exactly what will be happening, but I will tell you that the Scary Jane website will not be going anywhere. In fact, Scary Jane is becoming much bigger next year and I can’t wait to get started. Unfortunately I have to spend the next month focusing on ending the old one. No worries, I should be posting here regularly. I just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case I don’t post for a couple of days or something. Trust me this is exciting. Well, it is for me anyway and I’m sure someone out there will think it is too, I just haven’t found him/her yet.
Wanna be the first?

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a bit of a germaphobe. Movies like Contagion and Outbreak are just way too scary horrible for me. Those are just too over the top. I know, crazy right? I’m Scary Jane. I can’t be scared of anything, but I am scared of germs. After all my name isn’t Horrible Jane, though I know some of you may call me that. Anyway, I use hand sanitizer constantly. I keep a bottle in every room of the house, store, car etc. I have never and I repeat never seen a bottle of hand sanitizer that wasn’t just a boring old clear bottle or covered in flowers. Now remember, I am saying that I, Scary Jane, have never seen them. You may have and that’s bloody great, but I am just saying I haven’t (That’s for all you losers that email me complaining about the way I word things, my grammar etc.). Actually I never had a thought to look for anything different. About a month ago I was sent the link to these Scary Hand Sanitizers. They are made by Bath & Body Works. Apparently they have been making Halloween ones for a while now and I have just never seen them (see earlier comment above). They carry quite a few different styles including various bath products and even carry some that are more kid friendly.

Scary Jane,
stores — jane @ 1:46 pm
The Halloween season is upon us, which makes me so happy. It took a while to get cooler here, but now it’s finally starting to feel like Fall. I’ve been searching all the stores online and in person so I can write about all the best Halloween stuff available. If you have a recipe, craft, DIY, costume or saw anything in a store that I should know about don’t hesitate, don’t be afraid just email me. I do bite, though, so be careful.
Now for the ground rules:
1. If you are here because you think I worship the devil, then just go away. No need to comment. I believe I have already received emails from each and every one of you wanting to save my soul and I thank you for your concern, but I’m all set.
2. If you wish to stop me from writing about Halloween or just scary things in general please refer to the first amendment. It’ll help with your stupidity.
3. Have a f**king sense of humor
4. Just remember, my idea of the best may be different from yours and that would make you wrong.

Usually when it’s time for me to write a post I go to my handy dandy Booky Book. What’s a Booky Book you ask? Well, it’s basically my idea list for posts. I spend a ridiculous amount of time surfing the web and when I see something or someone sends me a link it goes in the Booky Book. Usually I just open it randomly and find something to write about right away. Today I couldn’t find it and out of just plain laziness I googled the word skull and eventually came across this Skull Clock. I covet this clock and at $34.95 it’s a no-brainer. That rarely seems to happen to me. No matter how much I love it though, I find myself wishing it were a little different. Maybe instead of the mouth opening up to reveal the clock the mouth could just open by itself to tell me the time. Though that’s probably just my laziness again. It would be especially cool if it had the voice of the Cryptkeeper. Oh how I miss that little guy.

Found this link about the Ouija Board through the Fright Catalog website and just knew I had to share it with you guys. I love Ouija Boards. Not because I believe in it, but because of the artwork that you can find on them. Especially the older ones. Go ahead and read this. It’s interesting reading and gives you a little background on it’s history. While you’re at it check out the Fright Catalog website. If you have never visited them before you’re in for a treat. They have great Halloween props.

I happen to live in a neighborhood where everyone is very uptight, but think they’re cool. Those are the worst kind. My family stands out, needless to say, and I have no problem with that. At least we have a sense of humor and don’t call the police every time an African American chooses to walk down our street. Pretty much every house has some cutesy wreath on the door. You know the ones I’m talking about. There is the dried flower ones, plastic flower ones, the weird ones made out of different colored balls, the branch ones etc. I personally hate them and refuse to ever put one on my door. It’s so suburban and just drives me crazy. I have a black feather one that I put on my door once, but it was almost too pretty so I took it down. Today I ordered one that I might actually put on my door with pride. This Snake Wreath with the great Medusa vibe is meant as a Halloween decoration. I hope at $29 that it actually looks good, but we’ll see. I’ll probably remove the sound/vibrating box as I want this as a year round decoration. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. I just love to piss off my neighbors. Is that wrong?

Scary Jane — jane @ 12:10 am
Stopped into Barnes and Noble today to see if they had put their scary stuff out yet. They had put some out, but it looked like they were still in the process. I stopped into the bargain isles and found this little Eerie Origami kit. I’m not a particular fan of origami. It’s not that I don’t think it’s cute, I just find it irritating and kind of a waste. Let me explain. First of all I have absolutely no patience for it. I have tried and tried to do it, but it rarely comes out right. I learned how to make a ball when I was just tiny Scary Jane and I can still do that. I pull that one out anytime I feel the need to impress someone with my folding skills. My aunt always and I do mean always would make an origami thing out of her napkin. I’m not sure what it was. It looked like a boat, but also looked like a flower. A long time ago I was very determined to make an origami flower. It took me forever. I don’t think the instructions are ever very clear. I finally finished it and was quite proud until seconds later my new kitten at the time (that’s Lucy, who just passed away… for the people who actually read my posts) grabbed it off the table and ran. I was finally able to save it from her only to find that in less than a minute she had destroyed it. That’s what I mean by a waste. In other words a f***ing waste of time. This origami kit looks really cute, but I have way better things to do with my time then sitting around folding paper. I still have the origami ball that I can pull out anytime and that’s enough for me.

Okay, I know I said I was done with the sappy stuff, but I just have to sneak in another post. We were forced to put our poor little Lucy to sleep since she was in so much pain. The vet tried everything, but she was just to far along. We will miss her dearly. Not being one to sit around without multiple cats in the house, I insisted that we go and pick out a new kitten at the Humane Society. Scary Hubby had a hard time with this one. Lucy was our first baby that we got together when we were just dating, so she meant a lot to us. Scary Hubby was very attached to her and so was I. I just like to move on quicker. I know a kitten will take our minds off Lucy. Plus we had Morticia and it would be nice for her to grow up with another kitten. We had every intention of getting a Gomez for our Morticia, but the boys were all so wild. I really wanted a snuggle cat and we all fell in love with this little black and white girl. Well, we couldn’t name her Gomez, so I came up with Ophelia. If you remember, Ophelia was Morticia’s sister in the original Addams Family TV show from the 60s’. She was the goofy reverse version of Morticia and I always liked her. So, please welcome little Ophelia into the Scary Jane family.

soft — jane @ 12:28 am
As you should know by now, if you’ve been reading my posts, I have lost 2 cats in the last year. Well, now my third cat, Lucy, has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and cancer of the spleen. Apparently that cancer is very rare in cats. Anyway, sadly it’s not looking good for my baby girl. She’s 13 years old and she’s had a pretty comfy life, but she’s the last of our cats. Super sweet and the softest cat I’ve ever known. We called her Lucy Bunny because her fur felt more like bunny fur. That’s her on the far right during happier times. Just last week before all of this came up we got a new little kitten. Scary Daughter’s cat, Edgar, had died this summer and we had promised a new kitty before school started. She is 2 months old and all black of course. We named her Morticia since we are all huge fans of the The Addams Family and she reminded us of her. That’s little Morticia lying next to the red pillow. So please welcome her to the Scary Family. Now that it looks like Lucy will be passing on, we will get another kitten after that. We have our hearts set on a boy so we can name him Gomez! It’s horrible losing a pet, let alone 3 in a year and half, but that’s what you sign up for when you get a pet. Sadly, they don’t live forever, but they do remain in our hearts forever. Okay, now that the sappy crap is done, lets move on!
