Hey there Top Men and Top Women! Time to blog.
Today I told myself I wouldn’t wait until fifteen minutes before Raw to write my blog. This way, in theory, I can take the time to write something worthwhile. This by no means guarantees a post of any significant quality, just that the lack of quality SHOULDN’T be because it’s rushed.
I went to a Hallowe’en party at Les Dés Truqués on Saturday night. To save five dollars on the entry ticket, I dug my Flint costume out. It’d been a few years since I’d worn it so I was happy to see it still fit. Considering that it was baggy back then I would have been REALLY disappointed to see it didn’t fit anymore. I also didn’t want to be the only person without a costume. It turns out I wouldn’t have been. There was one person out of the 28 who attended who decided to forego wearing one. Oh well, five bucks is five bucks. 🙂
One of the activities was a horror movie quiz. Even though I don’t like horror movies and don’t generally watch them (I have seen a couple) I was able to be a significant contributor to our team’s success. Out of maybe eight or nine teams, we finished third with a score of 21 out of 32 (the winning score was 23). Yay to absorbing (mostly) useless bits of pop culture!
Prior to Saturday I think it’d been…what twenty years since I heard The Monster Mash? I wonder how many of the younger (and mostly francophone) folk had ever heard it before…
Tomorrow they’re holding a special ceremony at work to highlight the change from a tax centre to a verification and collection centre. There will be distinguished guests. I wonder how many of them will be wearing Hallowe’en costumes or silly props? As employees we’ve been invited to do so if we want. I might break out the ol’ Ted vest but that will pretty much be it.
A new Asterix BD came out this month. I found out last week by accident when I was at Wal-Mart. Just before leaving, I glanced through their small book section and saw it on the bottom shelf. Not only that, but apparently I missed the one that came out in 2015. I haven’t read them yet, but they’re on the docket. I have to say that Didier Conrad does a good job of replicating Uderzo’s drawing style.
I think that’s about all I have to say for this week. Have a good seven all and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
