Can't You Hear Me Knocking?

Like I mentioned before, Halloween is my second-least-favorite holiday. Yes there is free candy and costumes and if you live in Santa Barbra, ST D's and Blackouts. But still it is not in my top five. I should have been motivated earlier on in the week to finish my InDesign project for my magazine design class, but like usual procrastination got the best of me. As well as Guitar Hero III. (Link is to a flash site.)

I arrived home after class and realized that I could spend just two or three songs worth of time playing. I mean, I just wanted to face slash on expert mode, how hard could it be? So after three hours I put the game down and started working on the project I had started in class. While playing I got the pleasure of listening to room mates complain about stupid things and develop a headache, but work still had to get done.

I worked through the temptation to hop back on Guitar Hero and show them who really was a "rock legend," but I had to keep pushing through with the work, because soon the trick-or-treaters would be here. So I scarfed down dinner and then procrastination got the best of me. I went with my room mate to get more candy because we ran out.

We went to Safeway, where the candy was now on sale, and picked up a few bags. I was going to buy some Patron Silver to have for this weekend, but because of the 5.6 earthquake that rocked us in the South Bay, they had none to sell. So we went to the liquor store down the street from our place and picked one up. Best $50 investment I have made in a while. So anyway, got home, unwrapped it and then hid it away for the weekend.

Came back upstairs and churned out the rest of the project. This is my replication of Men's Health's table of contents. The photos are watermarked with other people's companies so they look funny, but oh well. Here it is.
Again, any comments or criticisms would be greatly appreciated.

Patron is awesome. I just can't bring myself to drop that much dough at a time. Of course the thought of a less egregious hangover sounds nice, but I feel like I'm getting a better deal whenever I buy the cheap stuff (Drew's liver cries in agony).
