So, Band of Brothers is finally available on DVD. I think I decided before I had seen more than a couple hours of Band of Brothers that I was going to buy it on DVD when it became available. Except that it’s $120 that I don’t have. If I can get a job or two, then I can pay my bills, but how long before I have a spare $120? Or even just a spare $80-$90 if I see it used. I’d reallt appreciate being able to sit down and watch all 10 hours of it in a row. Heck, by the time I can afford to buy Band of Brothers, Queer As Folk Season 2 will be out on DVD.

Trust me. Would I mislead you?

Weeks of job hunting, and the occassional application to jobs I’m not exactly qualified for, and I finally found one I believe I am well-suited to. Plus, it’s full-time at ASU, so they cover some of the tuition expenses that I’d end up not being able to afford because it doesn’t quite pay enough. I put together a good cover letter and emailed it with my resume and refrences (requested in the job posting) a little while ago. Hopefully I’ll get a call, an interview, and then the job. This is the first job I’ve seen in a month that I’ve wanted to get. I hope it goes well.

I meant to post this before going out tonight, but .. well… didn’t.

I wanted to thank and congratulate everybody on making October a record month for site traffic! We had 4,106 unique visitors to Modern Evil sites in October, with not less than 100 visitors on any given day! That’s amazing! Site traffic is growing fast, just look at this graph:

Amazing growth, everyone! I hope you all love the site and just keep coming back. I don’t know exactly how much I’ll be posting in November, what with trying to write a novel and all, but probably quite a bit. Since every time I want to put off writing a novel, i can come post about it. Most of the traffic seems to come from search engines though, so as long as google thinks we’re cool, people will keep finding us. Hooray, google!

So, I suppose I forgot to post here about NaNoWriMo. Despite the graphic and countdown on the ME Home Page, and the forum specifically for discussing it, some people aren’t entirely aware that National Novel Writing Month (the real, official one) is starting in just a day and a half. Or that I’m participating.

Well, I am. Still no job (though I found one I’m going to apply for in ASU’s computer department) so finding the time to write an entire novel should be easy. In case you aren’t aware, the rules are simple; begin not earlier than 12:00:01 AM November 1st, finish not later than 11:59:59PM November 30th, and write a complete novel of at least 50,000 words. You should try it. It only takes about 1700 words a day, if you write every day, and there’s nothing in the rules about quality.

So, there. I’ve posted about it. I’m working on some other site updates that are taking a lot of my time, but when I’m through with those, I may be able to post more. I’m trying to get it all done before Friday.
