Fun Notes

Start The Day With An Epic Win (Mug)

My son has found a large group of like-minded folk and they now play Dungeons & Dragons twice a week at school, during lunch hour. And he’s been eyeing this mug we created two years ago…

This mug is one I use regularly in my home office, and I don’t think I’m ready to part with it just yet.

Guess I’ll just have to buy him one… from ourselves, LOL. That’s right, we sell ’em – right here on my Ko-Fi shop. I’m sure it will bring him all the luck he needs in his campaign.

Life Is Uncertain – Eat Dessert First

Here in Canada, I am firmly a member of Camp Twizzlers. My favourite combo at the movie theatres is still popcorn and Twizzlers. And when a package of Twizzlers comes into my house, I’ll enjoy them while watching a show, or gnaw on them like Sgt. Rock chewed on cigars in the comic books if I’m in the middle of working on something.

Twizzler licorice sticking out of my mouth. — I’m either deep into enjoying something, or deep into doing something. Do not disturb.

Empty bag of Twizzler licorice. — An open bag is an empty bag in this household.

Me wearing a sock with Trick or Treat on it, with several Twizzler images along the length of it. — I don’t have many fun socks. This is one of the exceptions.

This Is Not A Dream

People talk about comfort movies. People talk about their favourite soundtracks. Well, Prince of Darkness checks these two lists for me. I love John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy: The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and In The Mouth Of Madness.

I think The Thing is a brilliant classic, but it is Prince of Darkness I’ve watched more than any other John Carpenter movie, flaws and all. And I love that John Carpenter provides the details here of what studio equipment he used in the creation of the soundtrack.
