WEATHER with Emma
"I'm so sick. I have no idea what I just wrote. There's so much under Wednesday and Thursday but I'm too tired to re-read it. I'm so sorry Jacob and TWAK."
Emma Steen is a regular reader of the weekly weather who graciously puts together this emotional forecast. Look out for more in-depth and personal accounts of what it is like to be her in an upcoming TWAK.
MONDAY - Everything about this day is bad. It's cold and there will be wind going at 27km/h. I have no idea what that necessarily means, but it sounds fast and awful.
TUESDAY - Slightly warmer but with 64% humidity. Once again, I don't know what that entails at all. I shouldn't write for weather.
WEDNESDAY - Now it's getting up to 16 degrees, and will be "mostly cloudy". Which is a term I struggle with, because I don't know what "mostly" is really telling us. Will most of the sky be cloudy? Where will it not be? This is going on for too long. I'm sorry Jacob.
THURSDAY - Cloudy and colder. But to be honest, once we get this far down the week there is really no telling what will happen. I often will say that it will not rain, and then it does. So you should really not rely on this past Wednesday. Google has some great weather resources, I would suggest checking there.
FRIDAY - Raining with 98% humidity. This seems nuts to me. I don't own a raincoat.
SATURDAY - Still raining but the humidity went down by 22%, which I guess is good?
SUNDAY - Sunday.

YOUR BOOKSTORE IS DOING THINGS
Upcoming events! Community outreach! Jacob is tired so he’s going to copy and paste the bookstore email! Come and buy your tickets for the Giller Lite gala, coming up on Monday, November 10!

THE KTS PRESENTS:
THE DOUBLE BILL – BETRAYAL AND COWBOY MOUTH
The KTS is kicking off their First Season with a Double Bill! Harold Pinter's 'Betrayal' directed by Danielle Adessky and Sam Shepard, and Patti Smith's 'Cowboy Mouth' directed by Tanis Smither, will be taking place from November 5-8 in The Pit.
Inspired by Harold Pinter's real life affair, Betrayal discusses the "human condition" and its nature of egotism and self gratification. Through hidden emotions and deceptive motivations, each character succeeds in betraying their loved ones as well as themselves.
Cowboy Mouth is the story of Slim and Cavale, two people who have big dreams. It is a surrealist portrait of the struggling artist, and questions the authenticity of the 'American Dream'
Reservations can be made in advance via www.kingstheatricalsociety.org OR RIGHT AT THIS HANDY LINK and rush tickets will be sold the day of. $10 general admission, $5 for students.
