Not really craving the carving

We're carving pumpkins tonight with B's parents, and I'm not feeling very inspired. In the past I've always done simple faces: triangle eyes, circle nose, missing-tooth smile. Or something equally uncomplicated. And last year I did a pirate skull, which was a little more challenging, but not as awesome as Brad's Dean Martin.

Anyway, this year I'm just not feeling it. I don't want to put much effort into anything very intricate, but I can't go back to the same ol' geometrically-shaped face. So right now I'm leaning toward the grim reaper:

See his easily carved shapes and lines? I don't know, mostly I'm just not really in the mood to stick my hand inside a gunky pumpkin. Hopefully the halloween spirit hits before we head over to his parents' house though. I don't think anyone will like me if I decide I'd rather smash my pumpkin in the road than carve it!
