Season's beatings
Oct. 31st, 2006 10:02 amHappy Hallowe'en, people. On that note, when did costume for this festival cease to be about zombies and witches and the like and begin to be "dress up as anything"? This seems a bit odd to me.
The local council is erecting ("hur hur Beavis, he said erect") Christmas lights in the city centre. Why do we celebrate Christmas for 1/6th of the year? Isn't that overdoing it a bit? In temperature terms we're only just starting Autumn. It seems rather odd to be bringing out the fake Chrimbo conifers when the deciduous trees still have their full complement of leaves.
Finally, it's NaNoWriMo in November, or at least it would be if the Na in NaNoWriMo didn't mean National or I was in the same nation as the people who organise it. But that's beside the point. Since so many others are doing so, I may take the opportunity to write a novel, hopefully of 50,000 words, in November alone. Shame I don't know of any interesting writing software, and no, MS Word does not count.
