Weekly News Round-Up #41: 17/11/2013

Hello peeps! This has been a most interesting week, including fancy dress... ;p

But first of all, Monday turned out to be 'New Coat Monday', where Ruby and Wicks both had new coats. It has to be said that Wicks' coat carries a distinct 'Game of Thrones' vibe (the fur gives it that effect).

Now, last week we had an abundance of cake. This week, instead of cake, we had too much confectionary. If you're wondering why there were packets of eclairs and chocolate, it's because ArwaChihuahua, Ruby and Wicks took a trip to the cinema to see 'Thor: The Dark'. Indeed, if you're thinking "But surely Wicks has seen it twice", you'd be correct. This is why we chose her to review it for us! If you haven't read the review, click here :)

Speaking of 'Thor', DisneyLoverMolly was saying how she hadn't seen the first one, but Master offered to lend it to her. This prompted a discussion about Master being the type of person to start a film rental business, complete with loyalty cards etc. At one point, when DisneyLoverMolly and Master were discussing a new prank, Wicks asked what they were talking about. In reply, Master said "We're just negotiating a rental deal, it's private information, credit card info, like the last 4 digits of pin numbers etc." After thinking it over, it happens that there are only 4 digits in a pin number. I think it's fair to say that they had a good laugh afterwards about this pin number scam ;p

For the majority of the week, ANT had been absent, which lead to us wondering about where she could be. One possibility that arose was that she clearly didn't learn from the milk incident of last week.

All was well at the end of the week as ANT was back (she'd been ill)! It was also fancy-dress for the seniors at the Academy (this includes us). A few of us dressed up, here's the rundown on costumes:
ArwaChihuahua - Mountain goat (naturally)
ConscienceSarah - Dr. Who
DisneyLoverMolly - Army individual
Wicks - Fairy
ShoeLobber - Wally (from 'Where's Wally')
Cap. - Individual in a onesie
Master - Cowgirl (many thanks to ConscienceSarah for providing the hat, the main part of the outfit)

Other people that we spotted include: Wonder Woman, the Tardis, a dragon, a zebra, guy in dressing gown, guy with bow and arrow, Thor and Loki. The last two were rather controversial and faced some criticism from Wicks and ArwaChihuahua, who we all thought were a better set of Thor and Loki.

Throughout the day, we had multiple discussions about possible outfits for similar occasions in the future. At one point, ArwaChihuahua asked, "We'll do 'Raven', then can we do fruit?" The ideas just kept coming and by the end of the day, we walked away with an arsenal of ideas/themes for the next fancy-dress day, including contestants of 'Raven', fruit, stationery, Mona the Vampire, X-Men vs. Avengers, and many more.

To top it all off, we had a little discussion about online games. Master came away with more homework, which was to play 'Microlife'

Until next week, have a good one ;)
