ribbitt

perhaps i should resolve myself to the fact i will likely only write on february 29ths. i might be able to keep that resolution...given that i haven't written since october. once every four years is slightly less ambitious than my current pace.

ah, well. i was just enjoying the fact that it is leap year and sunny. edith piaf is playing on my computer. i'm having the overwhelming urge to drink red wine. life actually seems really great, even though it's a work day. it's possibly due to the fact that i have to move over the weekend, and moving is the most traumatic, stressful event i've encountered. (i somehow can deal with the non-optional traumas much more than the ones i inflict on myself, like moving.)

looking forward to the other parts of the weekend - and the point when the moving is done!

i'm still so intrigued by blogs. i read some, but in general, i'm still pretty confused about the whole thing. there are businesses and stars (diablo) made from blogs, tv/internet shows made about them, and a bunch of reality tv, which is essentially producers' version of a visible blog. yet, i am not hooked (though i loved juno!) and i don't completely understand why i'm writing. on one hand, i don't have any desire for random people to know me. on the other, there's a need to write anyway.

this leaves a completely uninteresting waste of bits and bytes. but they're mine. maybe that's why. hmmm...

Dear Diary

On and off, throughout my life, I have always had some sort of diary or journal. And although I wanted to be a faithful writer, my diary/journal has always become a patchwork of writings from very inconsistent periods. Even when I wanted to write, I often found I had nothing "worthy" to say. This blog is clearly the same deal...just electronic.

hello world

seinfeld worked as a show about nothing...and generally, blogs seem to be about nothing as well. so i'm joining in on the fun. woo hoo!

rien - what that means is "nothing" in french. it's what i retained from 8 years of study. go me!

it's fall, it's raining, and everyone is sick...most importantly me. and i'm starting to get impatient with the stuffy nose, constant need to clear my throat, and sinus pressure. the power even went off last night for a couple of hours! what am i to do without power in this condition!?

the good news is that i lived through it. and now i'm blogging. see? i really have nothing to say.
