November
Nov 1, 2007 by rilla
First of all, I'm sure you're all aware that November is National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo), and as an avid blogger, I have decided to participate. What you might not be aware of, is that I shall be working my buttocks off for this particular month. The Veterinary Licensing Exams have struck again, and with the vet college close by, I am up to my eyeballs in licensing exams. So, November is a bit of a crapshoot for me. On the one hand, Yay! Money! On the other hand, Ugh! Work.
The timing of NaBloPoMo could be better, but I wanted a challenge, and challenge I shall have.
Some topics that I have garnered from you, my loyal readers, thus far:
1) Screw You, Rilla: Suzi Joins the Challenge.
2-11) From Cenobyte:
13) The Knowledge of T-Ass: Questionable or Sketchy?
14) Canadian National Identity in the Blogosphere: The Borg, and You.
That leaves me with half of the month to come up with my own ideas. Any other month, I'd be all over it like a dirty shirt.November, however, has the designs to make me its bitch. Help a sister out. Give me another topic or two and make my blog posting go by smoothly.

Ooh, I've got one...
Colons in Titles: Useful Adjunct or Overused Schtick?
(this gets funnier the more academic reading you do).
I love all of Cenobyte's suggestions. They are very Woody Allen-ish (at least, the book-writing Woody Allen-ish).
I agree with Marc... I'm lovin' me some Cenobyte. I did a little research online, and here are a few unanswered questions that you could use as topics:
1) Vegetarians and animal crackers. Faux pas?
2) Turtles without shells: homeless or naked?
3) Would a fly without wings be called a walk?
4) Sexual harassment: Is it a problem for the self-employed?
5) What if the hokey-pokey is really what it's all about?
We are mortal enemies and you shall not prosper from my mind!!
How about an explanation of why not all rhyming poetry is to be admired- conducted in rhyme!
amy: I hear you loud and clear. When I do my searches on the MLA bibliography I actually try and find titles without colons. It ain't easy.
marc: She's a funny lady.
IF: Excellent! I've always been a little bit curious about number 5, personally. The song is fairly convincing.
suz: TOO LATE! MWA-Ha-HA!
AJ: Now that's a challenge. Perfect.
