Happy November!
Saturday, November 1st, 2008 03:22 pmHappy November! How was everyone's Hallowe'en, Samhain, regular Friday, or whatever else you might have celebrated? Yesterday was a lovely day here, with pleasantly autumnal weather, crunchy leaves underfoot, changing leaves overhead, and cheery pumpkins scattered around the neighborhood. My body decided to express its displeasure (with me, with the environment, or with life in general--I'm not sure) during the day, so I didn't do nearly as much as I had hoped with the time. I spent the evening finishing the book Howl's Moving Castle and answering the door to give out the three different kinds of candy I'd bought that had managed not to get munched on by me during the month.
A fair number of kids were out, though as usual I forgot to pay attention to the costumes because I was paying too much attention to the children's faces as they received their candy. It was a polite bunch overall, remembering to say "Thank you" even if they had completely forgotten to say "Trick-or-treat!" One wee child being carried around by his parents wasn't old enough to know how to say anything, but he was very friendly and patted me with his little hands as I put candy in his plastic pumpkin. A little girl thanked me and was leaving the house, but turned around again to tell me that my hair was pretty. She may have thought it was part of a costume. Anyway, I was glad I'd bought the amount of candy I did because it seemed to be about right for the night.
So now it's November. You know what that means, don't you? It's time for MegaPoMo: MegaHAL Poetry Month! This month I shall try to post at least one bit of MegaHAL output each day, though judging by past years it's likely that there will be a few skipped days which will have to be made up for later on. Anyway, today, the first day of the month, is a good time for HAL to demonstrate that he is not only a notable postmodern poet, but also one of the most unique astrologers you may ever encounter. Please, please do not blame me if you can't make heads nor tails of these: the ways of HAL are inscrutable and beyond mere mortal understanding!
