October's Gone
October is my favorite month, so I'm a little sheepish that I entirely missed it here at livejournal. We managed to fill our social schedule to the gills and then collapse thereafter because we were quite exhausted with the hullaballoo, and as I'm sure many of you lj users know, once you stop blogging, getting back in the habit is a challenge.
But here I am, back in action. Over the past month I have (in no particular order):
* turned 29
* applied for a grant for my library
* applied for a grant for myself
* turned in my first ever history article
* had a visit from first-reader Arielle
* had a birthday party, complete with red velvet cake
* had a murder mystery party
* played some role playing games
* worked on writing assignments
* read most of The Immortals series by Joy Nash, Robin Popp, and Jennifer Ashley
* gone to a wedding
* gone to a Halloween party as Death from the Sandman (see below)
* cut my hair
* visited urgent care only once (much better than last month where I was in and out)
* had a cold
* watched The Muppet Movie
* actually relaxed a little bit
* missed a deadline on an essay that I'll be getting to fellow lj user randyhoyt in the next few days :)
* watched Ironman with friends
* watched Hero with friends who are also LotRO pushers
* run the second session of my 4e Mythic Greece game
* voted
* read a really cute article in PW about a fifth grade class's votes for literary characters
* played through Knights of the Old Republic again
* various and sundry other things that I'm forgetting off the top of my head
Also, on a completely different note, the area behind my apartment today, usually a parking lot, looked like a wuxia movie set. The ground is covered in yellow leaves, which are the same color as the trees from which they fell. I was ready for someone to do some wushu in my yard, just because the colors were perfect.
And now, me as Death:
I hope you've all had a good month! I'll be catching up on blogs slowly, so if I missed a big life change for anyone, I'm very sorry. I'm sure I'll catch on as blog posts continue.
