ergonomic assessment of the cow milkers
































































































My ergonomics group project is to assess the postures and loads of the cow milkers at McDonald farm (McGill's other campus has an agriculture program) for risk of musculoskeletal injuries. We had a lot of fun talking to the milkers and taking photos and videos. We also stunk like manure after spending 3 hours there and I had to take the metro home after. NOT COOL!

Biannual International Gathering of the Animated Singers, Scriptwriters & Entertainers Society



Last weekend I went to Ottawa to attend my friend's annual murdery mystery party. This is the 4th one he's done in a row. I helped with the very first one four years ago. It's a lot of work.
The theme of this year's Murder Mystery was cartoons and the setting was Biannual International Gathering of the Animated Singers, Scriptwriters & Entertainers Society

I got to Heather's house in the afternoon on Saturday and we dyed fabric (our skits and sailor collars), and cut and sewed our costumes until it was time to go to the party! It was so much work. Now I have a sweet Halloween costume. I was Sailor Mars and Heather was Sailor Moon. I had asked for an easy costume and that's what I got! Not so easy I tell ya.
At the end of the night, Shaggy and Princess Fiona solved the case. It was Peter Griffin that killed Mickey Mouse!

Betty Boop, Sailor Moon (my friend Heather), and Inspector Gadget (my friend Colin) won for best costumes and character acting!

Everyone went above and beyond and the costumes were better than ever this year!
