How's it going? Yeah. How was your Halloween? Mine was about a 6 out of a possible 10...I didn't stay out very late because I had to get up for work the next day, but I did wear a costume. I was a bandit. I had a bandanna, and a cape, and a sword. Scary! Kyle was a blood-soaked butcher man. Terrifying! We went to see our friend D's "improvisational horror show" at the I.O. West. It was a new concept to us, but we loved it. M2, D's wife, was a sexy schoolgirl, which I jokingly deemed gauche, since she teaches math to 6th graders for a living.
Yesterday I forgot to do "rabbit rabbit", as usual. Do you know what this is? I just found out about it; apparently there is some belief that if the first words out of your mouth on the morning of the first of every month are "rabbit rabbit", you will have good luck. I'm not interested so much in the good luck aspect of this practice as I am in the discipline of remembering to do it in the first place. I'm interested in getting more of that. Discipline, that is. I'm thinking very seriously about making the transition to an all-raw food diet. Of course, that would mean no more Indian food, no more Chipotle, and that is essentially the one reason I haven't just done it already. It's not like I cook or anything. I can barely be bothered to cut up a mango for myself and eat it. More on this as I think about it and come to some conclusion on the topic.
Have you guys voted on my poll? It's only open for a couple more days...and there are only 3 votes, one of which is mine! So vote. Dammit.
I'm reading about Layer Tennis now, which is some kind of real-time designing game done in Photoshop... or Illustrator? There's lots of discussion about vectors and layers and brushes and I don't really understand what's going on, but it's very intriguing nonetheless. The site can be found here, and you can click on some examples to see how one picture can morph at the hands of two different people. It's very cool, even to a layperson.
I forgot to mention this yesterday and during all of October, but this year I am taking part in NaBloPoMo! That's short for National Blog Posting Month. It's basically a...maybe it's a meme?...anyway, billions and trillions of writers get on their blogs and pledge to write a blog post every day for all of November. It's essentially supposed to be some kind of trial by fire, made to show you that it really can be done! I'm going to put up badges and all that fun stuff as soon as I post this. Yesterday's posts were kind of cheating, but today and all the rest of November I plan to at least write a five-lined paragraph. That is my goal. I'm doing this because I've been slacking on writing anything of substance recently, and since it's not due to a lack of inspiration so much as an excess of laziness, I plan to abolish the habit by forcefully driving it out of my system with a series of goals and accomplishments, the first of which will be the successful completion of this meme thingie, NaBloPoMo. Let the posting begin!
