Hey, Folks!
Huh…another day, another bleary, grey, and quasi-rainy day! Now don’t get me wrong…I am very happy that we’ve turned the corner away from the blisteringly hot days of the summer, but I do find it more difficult to get my engine up and running on these slate grey days.
Of course, it IS October so Hillman and I have begun our nightly horror movie regimen and have managed to do it for 11 days out of 12. It was broken only by the day that has the final episode of Ahsoka. It has not been very good horror movie bounty this year and I can’t tell whether I’m just not in the mood for gory and cheesy horror pictures or if my choices are just not good ones. The original Exorcist movie is the best one we’ve watched so far this year. I hadn’t seen it in at least 25 years and I will admit that I didn’t remember it all that well. It is a terrific film, however, and it was well worth another sit through. My second favorite this year, a distant second, was Terrifier 2 which had a pretty amazing series of extremely gross out practical effect murders and while the script was a bit flat the performances were quite good. It was also nice that watching the first one was not terribly necessary to follow the plot. Anyway, if we stumble upon any other goodies I will pass them along to you folks.
Just to let those of you know who fill out a monthly order form, it would be quite nice to see all of those orders turned in by the end of next week. Diamond initial orders are due in for me on the 26th and you can’t believe what a pain it is to process pre-orders after the FOC date has come and gone…😊
The holidays are getting closer and I do have some good news for Monarch customers. I have finally taken the steps to order in some Monarch Comics gift cards! If I understand it properly, these gift cards can be preloaded for any amount and should be reusable and good for any amount of time. They will be bearing the new store logo (which you may have noticed on our Facebook page). Hopefully they will be here by the end of the month, but you will know because of the attractive display case that I also ordered for them. Stay tuned, True Believers!
That’s it for my ramblings this week except to let everyone know that I will be out of office on Friday and Saturday this week, but, to make up for it, I will be here ALL 7 days next week, including the weekend. Why? Because Brian just has to have a weekend off…lol. Of course, he’s earned it so I must acquiesce. Also, I posted it on the Facebook page, but if you are looking for something fun to do tomorrow the Earnest Brew Works on Monroe St is hosting a Crokinole event tomorrow starting at 6pm! Crokinale is the ONLY dexterity based board game I play and it goes well with draft beer. Hill and I will be there at some point for the fun.
Have a great weekend and I will see ya next week!
