Lame Lame Lame

I had kind of forgotten about this blog until a friend starting his blog this week reminded me about my own. I still love the idea of posting and intend to resume my goal of posting once a week. I come up with several (let's say 5) topics every day that I would love to tease out on this blog, but when I do have the energy to work on one at the end of the day, it ends up being super lame. My theory is that it takes about 5-10 excellent stories and anecdotes that are loosely thematically related to comprise a good blog entry, and I've only been coming up with 3-4. It also needs a thrust.

Today, my ideas were:

* trials and tribulations with PageMaker -- my experience laying out our massive report (that could be 12 blog entries, but would they be interesting? Stay tuned...)

* role models, and obsessive behavior towards thereof (hehe, "thereof" doesn't mean anything here)

* posting my application for a summer program, which I probably will do once it exists

* apologizing for my extended absence

* asking my dear readers (hahahaha) to post comments

* considering going public with the blog

See what I mean? They all turned out to be bad topics on further inspection. I've already written too many posts about blogging, no point to writing about it, etc.

But that's ok. Because in the process of writing about why they are bad topics, I've learned a little bit about what makes a good post. Stay tuned. And don't make fun of me if this list turns into a table of contents for my next 6 posts.

Here I am! I'm dear! And a reader! Those were solid topics. Also I disagree about your not being able to post about blogging. Now that you have reader(s) all your old insights are new to us. I guess we could dig around in your archives, but that's no reason not serve it up fresh. Yay Judy!
