Typically Halloween ends and the chaos of National Novel Writing Month begins. But I’m not going to attempt it this year. Sure, I may play along a bit at home, when I can, continuing to work on my sadly abandoned werewolf cop novel. But no way am I spewing out 2000 words a day. I will be channeling more energy, however, into collaborative art projects for some upcoming shows. Should be a pleasantly busy winter…to help combat the winter blahs - which threaten to begin early, with this ongoing lung aching I’ve been having. Wheeee! Or wheeeeeeeeeeze.
Five good things for November 1st:
- I had a fantastic Halloween, with my son and the boyfriend (they made it into the LOL/OMG Halloween roundup!) and friends and family but I would have enjoyed Neil Gaiman’s nerdy weekend gathering at the House on the Rock.
- Looks like we also missed the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival but the Walker Art Center’s blog has got nice recaps of each day, complete with links to some of the films, in their entirety.
- Mapcrunch is addictive and only adds fuel to the wanderlust fires. But you may already know that.
- We met an amazing 30 pound cat named Uzi.
- An acquaintance came up with a brilliantly odd Toilet Transformer costume. Unfolded.
Halloween may well be good and over but I’ve only recently gotten sucked into a BBC series about a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost who live together. And just this morning found out about a zombie movie called Otto or Up With Dead People. I will have to watch that after seeing the first episode of The Walking Dead, which is receiving favorable reviews so far. Also? Still going through a slew of Haunted Basement photos to upload. Soon!
Tomorrow we vote.
