Reid About It

No new blog for today, so if you were hoping I'd make a Halloween-day plea to middle-aged guys to stop dressing up as KISS every Halloween, sorry.

Seriously, guys. For the love of the Phantom of the Park, please stop. Even Gene Simmons can't pull that look off anymore. We yield to your Love Gun, just put some khakis on or something.

As for you ladies, I'd like to also salute you on your choices, since it seems that 90% of the costumes I see are simply slutty versions of regular professions. Slutty nurse, slutty secretary, slutty cop, sluttier hooker, etc. Nicely done.

Anyway, I'm not blogging today because I'm getting ready for November.

In previous years I've joined NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing challenge where you try to write 50,000 words in a month. The last two Novembers, I've written a grand total of 1800 words and that counts two dry runs at a novel, a short story, a grocery list, haiku, get-well card, suicide note, and three Wikipedia entries on my band. I've come to realize that since November falls during my busiest time of the year (football season), I shouldn't get too involved.

This year, I'm doing NaBloPoMo, which is National Blog Posting Month. In November, I will try my best to have a new blog posting here at Reid About It from the first all trhe way through the thirty-eighth, or however many days November has.

So, no new blog today, but tomorrow, we start a new tradition.
