The Great American Novel

I went to check out what movie the Filthy Critic reviewed this week and lo and behold, he didn't review anything! He seems to have a good reason though. National Novel Writing Month started an hour ago Central Time and Filthy plans on taking part. It sounds like a pretty cool idea: you've got 30 days to write 50,000 words (175-page novel). The idea is not to get hung up too much on the editing and proof reading but more to get the story out there. It kind of reminds me of The 24-Hour Film Contest. So for anyone out there who has always felt that they had a story to tell but no motivation to do it, now is your time! Write The Great American Novel!

Happy Halloween!

I must admit that these jack-o-lanterns are from a carving party I went to two years ago, but I'm still very proud of the "Hallowizzle Fo Shizzle" design that I carved. Still my proudest pumpkin carving moment ever!

Texas A&M: Building Champions...

...One losing football season at a time.

OR

...One bonehead coaching decision at a time.

OR

...One unprepared team at a time.

Take your pick, or choose them all. I don't care.

It's going to be an excruciating November.

Hurricane Beta!!!

Tropical Storm Beta officially became Hurricane Beta very early this morning. There is no threat of a strike on the US at this time but it is a milestone in that yet another record has fallen this hurricane season.

Number 13?

Tropical Storm Beta has formed and could officially become the thirteenth hurricane of the season. The records just continue to fall.
