Happy Haul

Today was an adventure.  It was exciting.  It was even more splendid than the day that I ate breakfast and wrote about it in this blog.  No, today was actually special because...I was getting ready for Halloween!  Yup, today I took a special trip to Steinbach and got some materials for making Halloween costumes.  This year I have two costumes.  One of them I am going to be wearing during my Applied Improv class on Thursday night and it shall fit the particular group theme that I will be participating in (which happens to be The Wizard of Oz).  For this I will be dressed as Tinman.  The other costume that I am going to be wearing on the 30^th during the day and to the Halloween party will be a character from the graphic novel and recent film (and when I say recent I mean in the past year) Watchmen.  My costume is Rorschach (if you unfamiliar with this character, just google his name, look at images, and you will see what he looks like).  Getting materials for these two costumes was quite a lot of fun.  I have been a fan of DIY costumes for a long time.  It must be the actor in me. 

On a side note, whilst gathering the many pieces of the puzzle, I happened across an affordable bonus treasure.  Among the Halloween goodies, Canadian Tire was selling some special light bulbs.  So I now have black and orange CFL’s (otherwise known as the twisty bulbs).  I call today’s shopping trip my happy haul.
