Happy Friday 13th!

Yay - It's Friday 13th!

Do you find that your luck changes based on the ol'wives tales for Friday 13th?  I don't.  But - I am a HUGE horror movie fan.  If I wasn't working today in the office, I would be wearing my Camp Clearwater t-shirt from a Horror Block (makers of Nerd Block) that I received a 1-2 years ago.  If you're interested in blind boxes, I would highly recommend giving one of the Nerd Block options a try when they get started again. I had no idea they stopped producing boxes last year! I've built up most of my horror movie t-shirts from the Horror Block that they previously offered.

The Friday the 13th franchise has been considerably successful as a slasher film.  The movie releases span over almost 30 years, there are novel adaptations (none of which I've read), comics, merchandise, and Jason has been featured in many of the Universal Studios Haunted Horror Nights events. The year that we were in Florida when this event was happening, we decided to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween instead.  I'm not so good in made-up haunted houses that thrive on jump scares. I have been in many haunted houses, (Harbour Haunt, high school productions, a library event when I was a child, and in Ontario) and there are witnesses to collaborate this claim.  I like my horror either on the screen or in a novel (LOL).

Moving on to the genre itself...

Here are my Top 5 fave slasher series franchises: (listed, not ranked)
1. Friday the 13th
2. Halloween
3. I Know What You Did Last Summer 
4. The Purge
5. Scream

Did I miss any worth mentioning? If so, let me know in the comments.

Later Days,
Jen

    Your missing our friend Freddy! Nightmare on Elm Street is a classic and a great representation of the Boogie man. Though the Boogie Men get their title from the days of pirates and tall ships, but that's another story.

Sci-Fi on the Rock

Hi folks, Last weekend myself and Mandi attended, and hosted an event and panel at this years Sci-Fi on the Rock  for our Welcome to Deadhouse  Goosebumps book club ( #GBCGhostNextDoor on Twitter). This adventure all started with suggestions from our spouses. So, we came up with a few ideas, went through the application process and waited. We are new to the event and panelist, and our YouTube book club is under a year old - so we figured that we didn't have much of a shot of being accepted.  Then the email came. We were accepted as panelist. For both ideas that we submitted.  Oh snap! Oh snap! OH SNAP! Planning the panels was super fun.  We love the Goosebumps series and we were able to create a plan that we were both happy with.  The "Reader Beware, You Choose the Scare!" event was first - it was the first evening of the event, and scheduled to be 2 hours long. Here we read through the Diary of the Mad Mummy, and backtracked 4 times to get 4 diff...

October Staycation

This past week my hubby and I had a staycation.  We love Fall - and it's for this reason that we always take a week or so off to enjoy it. During our week off we gorged on Little Caesars Stuffed Crazy Bread and Cinnamon rolls (nom nom nom carbs lol). Purchased a few new aquarium inhabitants, including 3 snails, 3 Odessa Barbs, 3 Skirt Tailed Tetra Glowfish, and a Kheli Loach. So far, one of the Tinfoil Barbs has tried to immediately pick up and eat the loach, and tried to pull a snail off the glass of the aquarium. We are doing fish counts daily until the Tinfoil Barbs lose interest. We also took a drive through Swift Current to Marystown to do some sightseeing. Along this route are a few lookouts.  We did stop at one of them, however, the binoculars that were stationed here were broken (maybe sandblasted by the wind sweeping over the area?)   There seems like there is nothing special about this area.  But, this is the only area of thi...

Maternity Leave - thus far

Life with a newborn is busy, but honestly - I thought that I would be busier. The weather this Fall has been amazing! It's making is easier to get out with the little guy - walking, shopping, playgroup and movies. There is so much to do and it's how I break up the days. We're grateful that there is a family resource center close by that has free drop-in activities for infants, toddlers and up. Meeting new moms who have a little one close to the age of mine is fantastic. Aside from socializing with other adults (which you miss when not going to work daily), you get to ask questions, share experiences, and get to know people that you may be seeing throughout the school year when the littles are older.  And, our movie theater has baby and parent movies every week. There are two new movie offerings each Wednesday morning, and the movie starts at a decent time - which allows time to get me and the little ready for the day and out the door.  Maternity leave here in Ca...
