Happy Halloween!

Tonight, I went back to a town I used to live in because they usually go all out for this holiday. I really had fun making my costume and most people seemed to enjoy seeing it. I thought you might like to see the pictures I took:

I had a lot of fun this weekend.

The masquerade party we threw at work this weekend raised a nice chunk of change and everyone liked my costume. I'd been telling people all week that they'd have to wait until the event to find out what I was going to be, but that it would be funny. I'll be posting a picture soon so you guys can laugh too.

On Sunday I went to a local comic store and learned how to play two new games. One game, Tsuro, wasn't too exciting to me but I think it's because we were only playing with two people. The other game, MyWord, was a lot more fun and we played it with seven people. I liked it so much that I ordered it and it was nice to meet some new people.

It's SNOWING!!!!

Yay! The first snowfall of the season. It isn't sticking but it looks pretty. Casey, Susan, and I popped outside for a few minutes to enjoy it when I came home. I know it's early but it made me happy. :)

Very Special Post!

As promised, here is my very special vlog post. "Glee" was the inspiration for this (and, hopefully, a series of future) post(s). One of the main characters posts a video of herself singing every night on her Facebook page. I can't keep up with that pace but I've decided to reinvigorate my talent by periodically posting karaoke videos here for you to enjoy. I'm my own worst critic so I'll admit there are some rough spots, but overall I think it's not a bad first attempt considering I haven't had a voice lesson in a couple of years. Thanks to the website www.karaokeplay.com for providing the means to do this online for free and of course the music and lyrics are copywritten by Elton John and Tim Rice and I intend no infringement. Enjoy!

I wrote my first press release today.

I told my boss that I don't want to be a marketing director, however, I was asked to do this because of the writing skills I've demonstrated. We are going to be throwing a Halloween party fundraiser near the end of the month and are putting together a lot of publicity in a short amount of time. In addition to the press release (which was kind of fun since I had free reign) I'm also producing a video PSA spoofing the popular "Where the Hell is Matt?" videos on Youtube. It's nice to flex my creative muscles. Yay!

Announcements, Announcements, Announcements!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.

That's partly because I'm planning a very special blog post that will be up soon so keep checking back here.

In the meantime, I need to apologize to Caissa and Becky for ignoring their comments on this blog. I'm sorry you guys. I didn't realize I'd gotten any comments because the email folder they are automatically forwarded to no longer appears on the sidebar in my inbox. I only discovered the comments today and I do appreciate them.

Finally, if you aren't watching Fox's new dramady (I think that's how you spell that word), "Glee", I highly recommend it. I know I'm a chorus geek but you don't have to be one to love this show. You also don't have to be a teenager. I think it's a bit like "Desperate Housewives" for the gentler generation. "Glee keeps making me laugh out loud, want to see what's going to happen next week, and enjoy the musical numbers. For you "Criminal Minds" fans out there, never fear. I've been watching "Glee" each week on www.fancast.com because the two shows are on at the same time. Enjoy!
