TV Guide for my blog

since it doesn't look like I will have much time to write today, here is a list of upcoming topics that I have been "writing" about in my mind but have not had the energy to put to physical words. Think of this as your TV Guide for my blog; you can see what I will be writing about in the near future and decide if you want to tune back in:

1) Facebook: I'm back on Facebook after a two-year break. I don't really know why, but we'll see how it goes this time around.
2) Books: I'm reading again; this time I randomly chose "The Spiral Road" by Jan de Hartog. I'm 80 pages in and loving it. Since I never updated my quest for more Faust books, I hope to detail my road to Hartog.
3) Personal training: after taking the first week off due to illness, I am slated to start with my new trainer Monday morning. I'll give you all the dirty details next week.
4) Insects vs. people: I doubt I will get around to writing about this. Really, nobody should.
5) My blog: I have been thinking a lot lately about the purpose of my random writings...I had hoped to find a "direction" in my week off, but I feel drawn back into the chaos.
6) Magazine: I think I might start a new personal project. I want to detail it here and get your comments. Since it is my idea, I am a bit blind to its objectivity.

There you go. If you are interested, I'll see you back here over the weekend. If you are not, take a week or so off, and we'll catch up later.

Besides the blog-planning, life is good. I have a good job, a good family, and a good book. There's not much else I would ask for.

shanti,

#5 - i think that your blog gives interesting topics for great coverstations. it provides thought starters and ways to view somewhat normal idea(l)s in a new light. sometimes i don't understand what the heck you're talking about (lord of the dark night) but i'm sure someone does. and it makes them think about those books that way that talking about music (revisting obsession, part 1)makes me think about those songs. and i'm glad that even if we don't 'talk' everyday, i can still communicate with you about your thoughts. so it turns out that having your blog is just all about me! yeay!

I want to hear more about the magazine... What are you thinking? Is is connected to the magazine online publishing link you posted earlier? All very interesting.

thanks for chiming in Melissa. double-thanks for making it about you! :o) makes me feel less self-centered, so keep commenting when you feel compelled. makes the blog less lonely, too.

Rob,

I hope to write about the magazine soon. Perhaps I will find time tomorrow. I had forgotten that I had mentioned it, so I am glad you reminded me.
