Hold the Line!

For every ounce of ass that October kicks, November tends to suck an equivalent amount. The weather gets signifigantly colder, every bill ever invented is due, the skies turn a consistant shade of pale gray (which usually lasts until March or later), the time change royally screws up my internal clock, and for some reason, everything that can go wrong will go wronger.

Now, I'm not bitching, mind you. I'm merely stating facts about the single worst month of the year. Even March/April, where we spend the entire month bracing for tornadoes, at least has the occasional bout of warmth and sunlight.

But, all is not lost. I've got just enough money to pay off my bills (not much beyond that, but oh well). I established a fairly successful post-work rhythm when I'm working on my comic. And, November is usually when the most interesting movies of the year are released. Right now, I need to see: Saw, Ray, and I Heart Huckabees, and I'm currently waiting on "The Life Aquatic".

Today's Comic You Cannot Live Without: I'm feeling pretty basic today, so let's just go with the greatest comic ever made, "Watchmen". For those of you who have been enjoying this section of the column, sorry, I'll come up with something more obscure tommorrow. For those of you who hate this section of the column, read Watchmen.
