Happy Day of the Dead everyone!
Oh...wait, you don't know what that is?
Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that I learned about last week in Spanish class. It's a day when Spanish people honor and remember their loved ones and friends that have passed away. They make offerings and light candles and eat lots of food to celebrate. To us, this may sound like a somber holiday, but it is actually a very happy one. People make candy sugar skeletons and carry bigs bundles of flowers along the streets and have parties and sit all night in graveyards. How cool does that sound?
By the way, you might have noticed the new picture and caption on the side bar there. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien is finally becoming a movie!!! You have NO idea how LONG I've been waiting for this! And I'm pretty sure Peter Jackson is directing it, which is AWESOME because he directed the other three Lord of the Rings movies too! I heard a rumor that it's supposed to be in 3D, but I'm not sure. he he he!!! Can't wait to see it in theaters in 2012!!!!
Before I forget: isn't this font cool???

Day of the dead is basically a very literal Halloween for Mexicans. That font is awesome.
