Number 1: The larch. The larch. The. Larch.
You know, voting is an important right. I mean, how much extra work do you have to do if you DON'T vote on the 5-star scale of Netflix? Who wants to manually choose their movies? It's so much easier abiding by Netflix suggestions.
Ladies and gents, let's give a round of applause to Meagen Spillane for providing the opening paragraph to this post. The ol' bait-and-switch. Brilliant!
Did you know that all of last month I only blogged a grand total of 3 times!? This simply will not do. I know I said I wasn't going to force anything this time, but I averaged below 1 post per week. Not cool. We'll see how THIS month goes.
Speaking of, welcome to November! The evenings are falling below freezing, the leaves have all but left the branches they once inhabited, and I'm still wearing t-shirts to run errands. Some people never learn...
Halloween was last weekend and, by all accounts, was a...screaming...success. Hahaaaaaaa. (Shakes head). The reason I say this isn't because I went from door to door collecting obscene amounts of cavity crunch, but because the party at Brad and Colleen's had a great turnout and was a blast. The pictures are online and can be observed HERE.
On Monday, the carpet cleaning finally happened at the house. A second cleaning was recommended and took place early the next morning. By tomorrow everything should be completely dry and ready for the moving. Dear readers, you have no idea how excited I am. Now, this is by no means going to happen in one day. People are busy and, because I will be living about 10 minutes away from my parent's house, I can take my time. In fact, we probably won't even touch anything until Saturday. I still need to set up an appointment with Comcast and change my incoming mail. Still, a pretty exciting process. Oh yeah, and Ikea on Friday. WOOOOOO!

Making a list.
I'd be remiss if I were to go an entire post without mentioning a bit of music or film. At the wedding of the year that took place a month ago, the song that played everybody off and ended the night was "Piano Man" by Billy Joel. This has special meaning to a lot of the attendees because of a popular watering hole by SVSU called The Pub. In fact, there were a few Pub favorites that found their way through the speakers thanks to DJ Tee-Bo. Anyway, "Piano Man" is, was, and probably always will be their sing-along; But for me, that distinction goes to "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John. Every time I hear that track, at the very least, there is some humming involved. I'm not saying it's my favorite song, by any means. It's just a record that, if I hear it, I'll listen all the way through. The same can be said for "Alison" by Elvis Costello. I know we all have one of those, so what is yours?
He's a Sir, you know.
Life has been extremely busy the last few weeks. That's looking to continue into at least next weekend, where some pals (one mentioned at the beginning of this post) are having a Thanksgiving potluck at their home in Grand Rapids. I feel like I should probably learn to make something amazing. I hope Bradley Thibaut is willing to teach.
I feel like there's something else I need to say, but I can't think of it right now. Oh well. I hope that means I'll be blogging again in the very near future. Looks like I'm on pace to break October's post-to-week ratio.
A man named Truth,
