Red Pumpkins eat their own kind

So I am finally going anonymous.

Why now?

Well, I just want to see if I function better this way.
And I am told having your name stuck up there, in the first visible corner of your blog is tacky. Well not that I care much for going out of my way to avoid being tacky, but it kind of made sense to me.

I wish I had pictures to post, but looks like a camera will not materialize into this household until Thanksgiving. This means an entire Season of Fall Colors will pass by and there is no way I am going to be able hold on to the feeling. Well, as far as I can feel, fall is almost over, some of the trees stand bare and stark, as if preparing for a new life, having shed all the languidity of the past year.

There was frost on top of the cars this morning. And I wasn't surprised. I haven't seen snow before, and I believed so far that the first snow would probably be something magical, so to quote the cliche. Now that I am so preoccupied with the monotone of the grueling schedule that I have built up for myself over these few months, that no amount of snow, meteors, northern lights or even the lingering ghost of the receding daytime Moon up in the scorching afternoon sky will succeed in reeking up the flickering remnants of the intellectual spark that I like to believe I once possessed.

Well I might have just got my first meaningful job today. Or not. Well, I'll find out soon enough. Well obviously it'll pay next to nothing, but I am hoping I will get a hands on experience in the area of work that I hope to be able to do sometime in the future. Either way, it might just help keep myself from falling into a 'rut' in my relationship with my hours of daylight.

And I haven't said this in a long time, precisely because I didn't have the time to sit and contemplate my finances, but I am broke again, and will probably be so for the next 10 years or so.
Seriously, if I am even reasonable well off 10 years down the line, that will have to be the best thing that ever happened to me, by the standards that my luck-line boasts.

Since I am at a loss for fancy words, even worse for fancy ideas, I will go back to researching how is it that Halloween is such a big deal here, yet it doesn't qualify as a holiday. I have a theory though - a Friday off would have been way too easy for me.
