It’s almost two weeks into November, so I should probably write about what happened in October, right?<\/p>\n

Except, I don’t think anybody but me is really reading this…and not much actually happened in October.<\/p>\n

I mean, I went to Charlottesville, Virginia, for work. That’s one of the only photos I have from my trip, unfortunately–the parking lot as seen from my hotel room–even though the grounds of the University of Virginia are pretty enough, and the weather was very pleasant while I was there. I spent a considerable number of hours in the tiny Charlottesville airport–I sneezed, and someone across the terminal said god bless you–but I also got to meet a Twitter friend who lives in town, so that was nice.<\/p>\n

But aside from that, and house-sitting at the start of the month–when it was just me and the dog, while my parents were on a trip abroad–October was pretty uneventful.<\/p>\n

I didn’t even finish reading any books.<\/p>\n

I did read some short stories<\/a>, though. I watched some movies<\/a>. And I listened to some music<\/a>. That’s it, really.<\/p>\n

The stories<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I read 31 of them in October. These are the ones I liked best:<\/p>\n
