Pumpkin Mashup

Man. Voting season this year seemed to have been more intense than usual. I literally have a box full of election spam that's accumulated over the past few months. Also, my answering machine is completely full of campaign-related phone calls. Probably in the month of October alone, we've received over 70 election-related calls and over 90 election-related papers in the mail.

I don't ever remember election season being so extreme, but it's totally awesome! More people were involved in this election than I ever remember before. Even the polling place seemed to have a stronger buzz that I've seen in the past.


Anyway, I digress. When I opened up the back curtains this morning, I saw something pretty scary. As you may know, about five days ago, a couple of my peeps and I carved some pumpkins. It was pretty awesome, except for the fact that we may have done it a bit too early. ^_^" When I got back from my long drive Halloween night, I remember looking at my adorable anomaly and seeing sporangia of mold growing all along the inside!

So I carefully picked up the masterpiece and placed it on the table outside. Today, when I opened up the curtains, I sorta shrieked when I saw the grey-covered orange mass sitting in front of me. (Probably should have thrown it out when I first noticed the mold. ^_^")

Anyway, I was gonna take a picture of it and post it here, but I had to throw it out before my mom and brother got home so it wouldn't eek them out. Nevertheless, I did manage to make the following drawing of what I saw for your viewing pleasure:
