I just got back from a "new kidz" initiation at work. It was reminescent of frosh week, but not as vulgar :). There have been 4 new hires since the new year, and the other youger co-workers made us participate in the scavenger hunt / social night downtown with them.

The scavenger hunt was pretty funny, b/c it involved things like "Ask (a balding guy at work) if he's ever considered a toupee" or "does (IT services lady) or (Marketing Director) weigh more? By how much?" to "Ask (CEO of company) "What do you do all day??".

The inside joke was that everyone in the office knew we were doing this, but pretending like they didn't. Those bastards!! Anyway, today was the last day fo the scavenger hunt and tonight we had a BBQ and then went out to see Evil Dead: The Musical (1&2). It was based on the Evil Dead movie series (you know, the last of the series was Army of Darkness). It was great. It was at the playhouse by bathurst and bloor, hot as hell on the inside. What was funny was that getting a beer ($4.50) was only a buck fifty more then getting a water!! ($3.00). Crazy eh? It was toally packed solid. There were also lots of really hot artsy guys and girls there -- totally a type of guy that I haven't been surrounded in for some time (at least not as concentrated). Em, slightly beefy, black rimmed glasses, black shirt, short Gel / Pommade hairstyle kind of guys.

Anyway the musical was hilarious. It had the B-movie excessive gore horror that we all know and love. They have 'spray seats' where you could get hit with blood... and they're weren't kidding about that! What also made me love the musical was how it reminded me of the movie when i saw it. All the memories (and of joy) came flooding in, when i used to watch it with an old elementary school friend of mine....THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!!

Afterwards we got out to the bar. We ended up at Fez, which is near the GAP on Queen and Peter. It had some good music, and a set down memory lane ("Pump up the jam", "Mo money mo problems" for example!). What was also great was how cool the cooworkers are w/weed. That's right ladies and gentlemen, i was a least a litle baked since about 7 PM... And for the record, it is 2:45 AM and I am STILL AWAKE! Despite a few scares, i am still conscious and breathing :).

On my rant about my alert and awake state of mind, I am now off to bed. It's the big PRIDE weekend, so good times are ahead!

Take care,
