#colorpalleting – the orange halloweens
It’s 149 days to Halloween.
But the days we live in are way scarier, with orange shades even more prevalent than usual – no relation to pumpkins.
Walking along a path lined with 5,000-plus hand-crafted pumpkins.

The Sour-faced Cardinal
Saint Ulrich, ca. 1520
Wood with polychromy and gilding (Germany)
This sculpture could have been designed for a niche in a church, or an altarpiece with other standing saints. Its remarkably fine condition reveals how the sculptor and painter collaborated to create an impressive image full of personality.
And thoroughly pissed off, I might add…

Welcome to Everett
Home to Funko Headquarters and a giant flagship store with tons of those cute, square-headed figures, some of which cuter and more collectible than others, called Funko Pop!. I’m sure there are other interesting things to see and do in Everett, but it was Funko Pop! we wanted and by golly, Funko Pop! is what we got! And loads of great fun!

Bring Back the Large Coffee Cups
*Resident Posting* on the bulletin board of my building’s website:
BRING BACK THE LARGE COFFEE CUPS – Please complain to building management
Friday, February 8, 2019 9:25:00 AM · in Topics > General
”Fellow residents,
To the huge disappointment to fellow coffee drinkers, the building management has decided to move to a meager 8oz cup to limit our consumption of coffee from the machine in the lounge. This is a critical bottleneck when we are trying to grab a cup of latte on the run, only to be limited to a meager 8oz beverage. I’ve asked them to bring back the larger cups but they have refused.
If you want the larger cups brought back, please complain directly to [name deleted for prevention of sanity].”

A great day to you, my friends, from the entitled and rightfully outraged residents, here at the top of the Hell’s Kitchen Towers!
