Squarey Monster 80 (pizza day)

I had some of the worst pizza today, so I made a monster from the box. Good for something, I guess.

Squarey Monster 78 (Anthony says, "Don't walk.")

Been planning this one for a while. Every time I cross the street I think of Anthony.

Squarey Monster 77 (pen drawer monster)

I have a space saver drawer that holds about a gazillion pens, pencils and markers. I opened it today, and this thing leapt out at me. Yeah, that gun is a pen. Toy industry perks.

Squarey Monster 76 (time capsule)

Replacing my Time Capsule is proving to be a monster of a job. Should be a 5 minute network set up, but I'm doing something wrong.

Squarey Monster 75 (boo!)

Boo! Sometimes work and life get in the way, and it's impossible to work on the 365 project. I'll catch up, and also make up for it with some more bonus monsters.

Meanwhile, today's Squarey Monster is inspired by the past. My brother and I somehow had it in our head that ghosts can't hurt you, but if you encounter a green ghost you have to run because green ghosts are the only ghosts that can actually kill you. If anyone can provide some insite to that belief, I'd love to hear it. Was it Alfred Hitchcock or Hardy Boys lore? Anyway, don't worry. This guy won't do that.

Ecto Echo 

The ghost of memories past, Ecto Echo rattles his chains to remind you of things you may have forgotten. Ecto Echo takes key words from your chitchat, and uses them to trigger memories that take you out of the conversation, causing you to stammer and moan like a ghost. Don’t let the flubs get to you, though. Ecto Echo has a way of only interrupting the boring conversations, anyway.

Battery backup monster is dead

Belkin's battery backups put up a good fight, but lost the battle with power surges and interruptions today. We had to pull the plug.
