We went to see "My big fat Greek wedding" tonight. What a hilarious movie. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. When I was a kid I went to a couple Greek weddings with my Dad. they were great. Also, the wife and I was married in the Orthodox Church so we know alot of the hidden jokes in the movie. Not that a novice wouldn't understand. One part in the movie kinda brought tears to my eyes. It's when the bride entered the room. It brought me back to our own wedding when my wife entered the room. I never thought a woman can look so beautiful, and I've never seen one look that good since. Perhaps that is the true meaning of being married in the Church. To fall in love with someone like never before.

Anyway, I got great news today. Our room in the haunted house last night took first place. We had about 100 people come through in 3 hours. I guess the judges decided unanimously that we were the best. It makes me proud because I gave up going trick or treating with the kids to do that. Oh well, the kids got a ton of candy anyway.

I got the invitation yesterday to attend the recruitment day for Games Workshop. Today we went to price tickets and it'll cost us about $350 just for airfare. Then another $150 for a motel and $50 bucks for a rental car. I don't have enough money! :-( So, I'm gonna ask my Dad to see if he wants to go. I don't know what he'll say. Afterall, the job would take me across the country from him. Hopefully I'll get ahold of him tonight and I'll know. I'd hate to pass up this opportunity.

Sorry I haven't been writing much lately. I've been busy setting up for the haunted house we're doing tommorrow. It should be fun... I get to be the executioner in a torture chamber. I think we'll be a shoe-in to win the first place prize. The only thing that is bugging me is that we got our grubby hands on a real skeleton to hang on the wall like a forgotten prisoner. I'm sure it's the remains of a female. I just hope her spirit doesn't get mad at me for putting her bones on display.

This week I sent off my resume to Games Workshop for a series of job openings they have in the Northeast. Today, I got a positive reply asking if I was open to relocating. Of course, for the opportunity to work for my favorite game company I'd move. My wife is excited about it too. She'd be a bit closer to the family. I hope by Northeast they are including Maryland or Virginia. I really fell in love with that place when I went there in '98. We'll see how things turn out. If I get invited to attend their recruitment seminar I'll be going in mid-November.

The cheerleader competition on Saturday was very interesting. The girls placed 6th in the cheer, 3rd in the dance, and 4th overall. It was interesting to watch. I imagine to an outsider is would be a bit like watching zulu tribesmen psyching themselves up for a big hunt. For the first half the event was just basically the girls stomping and cheering trying to get the audience worked up. I tell you... a gymnasium full of about 100 cheerleaders all stomping and cheering can get pretty loud. I'm real proud of the effort that my oldest daughter gave. I still honestly believe that she is one of the best cheerleaders in her squad.
