November is American Diabetes Month. This means the collective diabetes community (online and offline) will be making a little extra noise to spread awareness about what diabetes is, about what diabetes isn’t, about the differences between the different types, and about why you should care about Diabetes (with a capital ‘D’) regardless of type or affiliation. It’s a big deal. And I’ll do my best to highlight some of the endeavors that catch my eye.

But, there’s plenty of other things happening in November besides the ongoing effort to get my diabetes advocacy on.

Wreck-it Ralph was released this past weekend. It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who knows anything about me, but I loved it. You should see it.

Halo 4 comes out tomorrow. (Also, you should vote).

Skyfall hits the United States this weekend. I convinced my mom to come out to an IMAX showing, so that’ll be fun.

And Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is out next week.

Okay, so maybe these ‘things’ aren’t particularly noteworthy for any of you reading this. But this is my blog, and it’s noteworthy enough for me.
