No doubt many of you are knee-deep in tots gallivanting around your neighbourhood begging for candy. It is, after all, Halloween – the one night that adults use as a great excuse to get dressed up in the trashiest and silliest outfits imaginable, to pay outrageous prices on beer at nightclubs and bars, while pretending that this is somehow “edgy” and “different”.
Seeing as how that sort of thing is my personal idea of Hell – being surrounded by idiotically dressed strangers celebrating what is, arguably, a pagan day (though there is considerable debate among Christians about this, as it happens), I decided to do something different.
So I went skiing.
It was HELLA fun. There is an indoor ski slope some distance away from where I live. Every month or so, I try to get over there to build up my skills. I’ve gotten halfway decent – in my own opinion, admittedly – which means that I can skim downhill, change direction, stop, turn, speed up, slow down, and not fall over while doing all that, without crapping myself when going downhill at full chat.
I still absolutely stink at taking on obstacles – that is way beyond my abilities – but i hope to get there, one day.
Anyway, however you managed to spend your Halloween, the fact remains that this is among the silliest, and most overrated, days of the year. So I have something – or, I should say, someone – here to make it slightly less so.
This here is Lucinda Sayer, age 27 or so, from PommieBastardLande. She is some sort of influenza and model, whatever that means. I am also pretty sure that she is… enhanced, so to speak, with significant artificial parts, but that’s to be expected, these days.
Happy Friday, everyone.
