I'm pretty certain that everyone else already watches my life on a very popular TV program, like in The Truman Show. But just in case I'm wrong, or if you don't get cable, here's my blog so you can keep up to date.

They say that nobody's face is perfectly symmetrical
...so let's just say I was going for a degree of realism when I carved this year's jack-o-lantern.

Well done! Did you use special carving tools, or only household items (not specifically designed for carving pumpkins)? Toothpicks? Either way, looks very good.
1 pumpkin 1 Medium kitchen knife 1 Small kitchen knife 1 toothpick
The center of the nose is actually 1/2 an eyebrow, stuck in place with a section of toothpick. The rest was carved as shown. I'm hoping that the eye slits get a nice glow when it's darker outside - there's just a thin bit of pumpkin behind there.
Actually I've heard that Denzel Washington's face is perfectly symmetrical, so obviously you were not channeling Denzel when carving this jack-o-lantern. Here's a link: http://www.symonics.com/sci_balancing.html I especially like how they compare Denzel's face with Lyle Lovett's.
BTW, I happen to think my grandson's face is PERFECT in every way!!!!!! But then, that's just my own biased opinion!! It's certainly much more perfect in every way than Denzel Washington's. Again, I might be just a wee bit partial but then that's a grandparent's perogative.
