Our Roommate

One of my favorite holidays is Halloween, and part of why I like it so much is because I think haunted houses are really, REALLY cool. I always loved trick or treating at the few houses that go all out for Halloween -- you know the kind I'm talking about, the ones with the funny tombstones lining the walkway, ghosts hanging from the trees, fog machine, creepy music playing from rocks, maybe a dad dressed as Frankenstein cruelly jumping out from a bush to scare the kiddies, and of course the mom who gives out King Size Kit-Kats!

Needless to say, apartment living for the past 4+ years did not exactly make for an ideal  haunted house setup, but last year, on or around November 1st, I decided to stock up on some sale Halloween items.

Favorite item was easily the skull head I found, but because the holiday was over, I actually just kept him in the back of the car (you know, in lieu of where people generally put stuffed animals), in hopes of warding off potential thieves. Seriously. But I guess one day there was some major pothole, and the skull fell and broke his head.

So we brought him inside and semi-glued him back together.

Not wanting to put him away for good, we found him a home atop our Crate & Barrel sideboard. Year-round creepiness FTW!

So as you can see, he's somewhat happy here guarding our wine along with our 2 fish.

But, sometimes... he gets bored and it's like we don't even know who this dude is.

The smart roommate who leaves the light on bc he's always studying. 

The roommate who wears his sunglasses indoors. Douche.

The roommate who only talks about football, and had a rough season.

The roommate who didn't realize he was a Halloween prop and so decided to dress up for Halloween anyway.

The roommate starring Blair Waldorf.

The hipster roommate.

The hipster roommate who saw Harry Potter (current display).

The ultimate hipster roommate who moved out to Williamsburg anyway.
