hi-de-ho

it's almost the end of october.
damnit, time flies. even when i AM paying attention to the calendar.

end of october means...
almost ELECTION time! eeeeeeek.
almost halloween! pumpkins galore!
almost end-of-lease. again. christ.
cooler weather? autumn? ha right.
getting back in shape? hm, slightly on hold.
getting things done? hm, in slow progress.
pumpkin patches (the glass kind).
riding my bike with a brightly-lit helmet
more cooking. because i feel like it. but i need new recipes or ideas.
travel longing, always.
almost november. almost december. almost 2009. holy crap.
taking more photos? time-lapse! sorta.
stream-of-consciousness, always.
missing people because i think of dc. and boston.
gone are the red sox.
thicker blankets, late mornings.
thinking again.

october is a funny word. shouldn't it be our 8th month since it has "oct" in it? or is that "octa"? i never knew my latin. i wish i could learn spanish and italian and japanese.
