R.I.P. Thugwaffle.
When my friend Brendan moved back to Chicago this past October, he left behind his Betta Fish, Thugwaffle. I helped Brendan purchase him almost two years ago, and I even created a fish tank using an old 40 ounce bottle that I cut in half.
Sad to say, Thugwaffle has passed just a few hours short of 2016. He lived a long, sort of fruitful life in a beer bottle, and he will be missed. Expect a viking funeral in Prospect Park soon, and you can follow his past exploits on his Instagram account.

Happy Halloween — from Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff.
Break Away Sugar Glass.
I made a sugar glass bottle to use as a prop in videos; it breaks so easily and is as painful to smash over your head as a giant wafer cookie full of rainbows, but it’s incredibly fragile and sticky to touch. Plus, it’s very time consuming to make just one bottle (you have to boil the sugar mixture for a steady hour or so). You therefore have to be very precise and very cautious when using it, especially in one take. Still, sugar glass is a lot of fun to play with, and there’s definitely something very satisfying in creating silicone molds and boiling what is essentially candy.
Here’s the mold (with Morgan’s matching nail polish):
And here’s the bottle in action!

Pumpkin Carving.
I had some friends over to carve pumpkins tonight: Scott and Ann Marie brought Sebastian, an old doggy playmate of Nico’s who’s gotten inexplicably plumper. Alex brought Michael, her fiancee who’s gotten explicably more cut. My old roommate Kris brought over himself, a flask, and the determination to turn up.
Afterwards, I coaxed all of them to be in a Nico video where she fights us and knocks all of us out cold:
