My mum used to hound me incessantly about what I was going to do for a living. Now if I was a 30-year-old still living at home I could understand that. But she used to bug me about it back when I was in high school.
Thanks mum.
Because of her I took a chance on leaving journalism and taking some IT courses when I was 27. End result is I know work as an IT professional for a market research firm called Decima Research in Ottawa. Not the most glamorous job in the world but something I enjoy doing more often than not. And in hindsight, I think that’s all my mum was trying to hammer into my head after all – to get paid for doing something you enjoy. I’ve had my small share of shit jobs where I dreaded going in to work and I can’t think of a worse fate.
Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
