On the advice of a fellow CMS developer, I plan to set out today to build my own Drupal theme. This will be beneficial to:

• Further my knowledge of Drupal theming.
• Have a starter theme that I am very familiar with, that I can use to quickly develop client projects.
• Contribute to the Drupal community.

O' October, month of beautiful weather, Halloween, and most importantly, pumpkin infused beers. Luckily, I don't have to travel all the way to the Brickstore in Decatur to imbibe in delicious October goodness as The Porter is right up the street. I joined my good friends Michael and Petrika recently to argue about art and sample some seasonal brews.

Many times my private lesson students will bring in material from outside of class to get help with. Recently, one of my students brought in an article about a intoxicated women who had fallen onto a subway track in Boston(?) right before the subway pulled into the station. The driver stopped just centimeters short of the lady. An onlooker and the driver helped the lady out of the track pit.

I have loads of free time at home here in Okazaki, and especially now that we started getting lots of rain I don't really feel like riding my bike around in it. For your listening pleasure, here is a truly masterful play-list of Blue Moon adaptations....

Today was the final day in a week long stint of Halloween lessons where I got to don a hot pink wig and witch costume. The wig was from a 100 Yen store...purchased for about 405 Yen, and the hat from Claire's at the mall. The dress I had brought from Atlanta for whatever special occasion might occur. I wish I could post pictures...but since I'm with my kids (students), I might need special permission from the parents or something. Ooooh but everyone looked so cute! Mostly witches, pumpkins and princesses, with the occasional little sparkly devil horns or the mini Halloween hat.
