In the foreseeable future, this blog will be something of an orifice, a snug deposit place, for some of my thoughts and frustrations with the current part of my journey. It will be a reason for me to always keep those fingers moving, typing, if even to continue patterns of adjacent keys on the keyboard--until a thought comes through the routine. For guidance I have next to me a stack of grammar books, programming books, blogging books (well, one) and pamphlets from the graduate program I keep changing my mind about, but really Do want to attend. I thought perhaps I should learn something about HTML for future (or current) work; I have gotten really sloppy with my commas and semicolons and need to be reined back in. And, although I declared to a good friend (over beer, no less) that I really am happy to be in North Carolina, I'm not sure that I am. Of course, I am not working right now and it's not enjoyable to be anywhere (except for perhaps Berlin? the coast of Florida? with the hipsters in Portland?) when you're not working. And, when the bank account is quickly, quickly, emptying, and I cave to buy things like a Weleda body oil sample kit--to make up for not buying them (I know, what was I thinking?) when I was in Germany. I also bought butter and sugar to make homemade baked doughnuts tomorrow (the dough can rise while I'm working on my resume Of Course) from Trader Joe's. I went into Whole Foods and left just as soon--what a madhouse. And is anything local? Not that Trader Joe's is, but I don't have to give the rest of my sad bank balance to shop there.
And, for your clincher: thanks for reading this. It won't make you rich; it won't bring you happiness beyond your wildest dreams; it won't boil your dinner. But it will mean a lot to me, to know that you are there.
