What are blogs for?

I'm not sure if they're a social experiment in electronic support networking; serial editorializing on life, culture and politics; or just pure self indulgence. Perhaps they're all three. I'd like my blog to be the middle one, but I always fear that it's the first or last one. (Should I fear that? I'm not sure.)

This morning, I looked into my Friends page to discover a link to Theresa Neilsen-Hayden's blog, Making Light, and find myself suddenly feeling inadequate and terribly self indulgent. I wish I could be so cogent, insightful and just plain brainy-literate. I have a my moments; I just wish they happened a little more often.

A girl can dream.

A change in the weather

Suddenly this afternoon, after a telephone interview, running some errands and taking a nap, I feel like crap: achy all over, dry mouth and just generally feeling sour. I have plans to go out this evening with a group of friends for dinner and music. It's going to be an effort to get out the door with any kind of good feeilng. *sigh* Maybe the situation is finally beginning to sink in.

Ick.
