Twas Time

I said they'd stay until at least Halloween

So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

-- David Bowie

Rocky Horror Picture Show

The Cinema in town has a Rocky Horror Picture show the Friday of Halloween. This year we all went and dressed up. It's so much fun seeing it in theater like that versus watching it at home. If you've seen the movie, you know who is who.

Halloween Party at a friends tonight for our Saturday Adventure!

It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll

-- Rocky Horror Picture Show

Pumpkins!!

I went to a coffee house with Lu (International Student I mentor) and then she came back to our house to carve pumpkins. Lu & Gareth had never done it before so it was fun. Now we have yummy pumpkin seeds.

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

-- Michael Jackson

Thanksgiving '10

Jess & I tried to hitch hike to Coldbrook, Nova Scotia. We got stuck around Kennetcook, in the dark so Forbes and his mom had to come pick us up. It was a nice 10+ km walk though, with a beautiful view sprinkled with rain.

Forbes had to work that night so we hung out with his mom and then got up early to go to the Market. I love farmer's markets! We also went to a used book store and spent more than we had planned.

That night Forbes friends came over, they were a lot of fun and we got along well. The next day we went for a long walk with his dogs in the woods & orchard. It was a gorgeous sunny day and we got a lot of good pictures.

We had thanksgiving dinner that night and it was so delicious. 22lb turkey, mashed patatoes out our ears, squash etc etc.

We also played "He who falls asleep first, gets tortured most"...

Lazy Saturday

I went to see The Other Guys with a friend Friday night, it was really funny. Saturday was our lazy adventure day because Jess decided last minute to go to PEI. The house slept in, then made pancakes together and read the Bro Code.
Next weekend is a Rocky Horror Picture Show party at the local movie theater and then a friends Halloween party. Should be fun! Pictures will be posted!

Humans vs Zombies

At school we have a group called Zombie Apocalypse Prevention Society (ZAPS), they only started last year but they're getting popular. This year they decided to host the ever-growing game Humans vs  Zombies. We had to sign waivers and there are a lot of rules about playing on campus but we're playing.

All my friends are in the game, so far only one became a zombie and then she died because she didn't feed. We get missions that we have to complete with our task force (other humans). There is actually a whole plot line to the game and we get new bits of the story every now and then. Bascially Sackville is one of the last safe places on earth, they're building a bubble to shield the town from the zombies and we have ZAPS to protect the inhabitants. Because of this they ahve sent the lasst living scientiest here to find a cure. Our mission the other night, through riddles was to find ten vials of medicine around campus (glow sticks). We didn't really succeed but that was because people took the glow sticks.

We use socks and nerf guns as weapons, but we're not allowed to play at all in academic buildings. Humans have to wear an orange band on their arm and zombies can wear it on their leg or head. They randomly selected one player who had signed up to be the 'original zombie' who does not have to wear a band. He got 10 people within the first few days because nobody had any clue who he was.

Here's us all set to go on our first mission:
