Melody’s October 2015 Wrap Up

Binged This Month: HBO’s Getting On (via HBO Now)

It’s too bad I’m just now getting around to this show which was renewed for a third and final season earlier this year. The final season begins November 8th and there are only twelve half hour episodes to watch so you can certainly catch up before next Sunday. I highly recommend you do, especially if you’re looking for a good laugh!

October Notes
* New York Comic Con was a blast! More on this soon!
* Hollywood the Write Way has moved from blogger to wordpress! So exciting! I’m still categorizing and tagging my posts as well as checking photos but everything else looks great! Expect a new web design in February!
* Feeling the Christmas spirit already? Here are my Top 10 Secret Santa Tips!
* On a personal note, I got hit by a car while waiting at a light, to cross on foot. So I want to remind all of you drivers to 1) wipe the frost off of your car so that you can see, before you leave your driveway – don’t be a slacker and don’t think that it takes up too much of your time because you will spend more time paying for that mistake and 2) pay attention and look out for pedestrians while you’re turning! If you do at least one of these, chances are, you won’t turn so close to the point that you’re ON/OVER the curb and knocking over someone minding their business, waiting for the light to change so that they can walk to work. -_- No, you didn’t hit a pole…
