hey sara and fluffy (and to some extent ken)– remember when i said i would put up the october 2005 winchester mystery house pictures really fast compared to how long i usually take to put up pictures?

haha. suckers.

but yes, here they finally are.

for those unschooled in the horrors and wonders that comprise the winchester legend (and for those that want to see even more pics, behind the scenes), go here.

there was this odd little room floating off by itself that we never got to visit. i often wondered about it (due to the nature of the house you tend crisscross back and forth a bunch, so we passed it 2-3 times)

so the three general options for the nonsensical architecture are a) mrs winchester really hated ghosts; b) mrs winchester really hated her staff; c) mrs winchester was very bad at planning. i like b), but then you knew i would.

another “door to nowhere”

13 sink holes!

13 candles! (you’re just going to have to trust me on this- 6 arms, 2 on each arm, and one in the middle to make 13)

are there 13 spires too? i can’t remember. probably not; it seems likely from this picture that mrs winchester was a spire addict.

there were a ton of these “pseudo-courtyards” that didn’t make much sense

some of the pseudo-courtyards even had statues in them.

do you think her (few and far between, i’m sure) dinner guests waited to use their bathrooms at home?

i always knew i’d get a picture of sara in the shower someday…

fluffy and ken are too tall for this tour, apparently

do you know what is going on here? cupid is being attacked by pond animals. that is what is going on here.

spooky! and here i was just trying to get a picture of the stained glass. cosmic supernatural forces obviously were blocking my camera.

ok, these must be due to supernatural forces. i don’t know what these are all about.

as we left we realized a delorean club convention was going on. how cool is that? i want to join the delorean club.
