What's new around Matt & Becky's world...

Not much!

No trips, no cooking classes, no home improvements, nothing very exciting lately, alas. Matt's been working a few late-nights recently as his company works on some innovative and exciting new products. I've been working a lot (too much, but not as much as Matt). In between I've managed to make several more scarves for the project I mentioned earlier. Only one left to finish!

For Halloween, we're working on our costumes for a coworker's party on Friday night (no hints). I'm going to help a friend-of-a-friend (who's only in the US from Taiwan for a little while) carve her first-ever pumpkin on Saturday. Then, we'll return home to hand out full-size candy bars to neighborhood kids. Whatever you think of Halloween, I don't think you can argue with the merits of full-size candy bars towards being nice to your neighbors. :) Plus, we live on a hill- got to incentivize kids who are willing to walk up here!

So, while I don't have a whole lot of great interest to share, here are some links for you:

• Please vote for Jack - SDSU mascot - in the Capital One mascot challenge. Jack is tied for first (in terms of wins/losses). The standings are tight this week, so be sure to vote for the Rabbit and not the funny-looking red creature from Kentucky!
  
• Watch a clip of Ashley Cleveland singing "I See You," a beautiful Rich Mullins song. We saw Ashley playing Threadgill's Gospel Brunch on Sunday morning.
• I hope you've already heard about Cake Wrecks, one of the funnier photo-blog-commentary sites out there. This one shows cakes (some of which are rather skillfully made, actually) but which are ironic, funny, spelled wrong, etc. I think this post sums up the funny pretty well. Matt & I were cracking up last night browsing these pics.
• I recently made a great new photo book at shutterfly, with pics from our 2009 trip to Maui. Turned out beautifully and wasn't very much work at all!
