Uhh why is it that it seems like I just installed the latest version of Wordpress, and now there’s this banner on my admin dashboard urging me to update to the even more cutting-edge version 2.6? I think if I attempted to do that, I’d probably wipe out all my posts again (all 3 of them), and honestly I’m just too lazy.
But I did get around to…adding colored links. And activating this theme’s built-in flickr app. But I’m really not much of a photographer, so I wonder how long those pictures will stay up before I change my mind. And those preview images look kind of pixelated, right, because of the dimension-crunching? Pixelated anything kind of makes me cringe.

I’ve been really tired lately with my summer course (sigh) and so brain dead that I haven’t been keeping up with online stuff in a while. Once again my plans have been thwarted - each summer I set out to read, write, watch…and of course nothing has gotten done! le sigh:
- the mile-high stack of books which has been building up since 10th grade remains mile-high
- the blog is virtually empty
- and, the only Best Picture Nominee from the 2006 Oscars I’ve seen so far is Good Night, and Good Luck.
You see, I’ve had this list around since 2005! I’m still trying to watch movies I never actually got around to see during that year for some reason, but most of the time I don’t even remember what those films were (…), so I use that year’s Oscar movies as a reference list…Except I don’t even remember what the nominees were for that year anymore, and I only watched GN, GL. because it was a school assignment - funny, I’ll watch school-assigned movies and opt out on school-assigned reading materials. Well, which do you think is easier on the attention span eyes? Okay, I kid. But seriously, Good Night, and Good Luck. is so gorgeous, and not just because of the existence of George Clooney.
(I’m still trying to work on the site design a little/getting the pages up - right now everything is soo plain!)

Because I am so skilled, while in the process of updating my Wordpress from a decrepit 2.1.something version to something a bit more recent, I ended up accidentally not so intelligently re-installing the whole thing and losing all my old posts. (Well they’re still floating around somewhere, but I’d rather not track them down…)
This means I’m starting from scratch again. I’ve abandoned/stopped and reopened my blog so many times that sometimes I think I should just give up, but then I remember my #1 New Year’s Resolution this year was “blog more”! Except usually no one keeps their resolutions. (shh!)
Anyway, I’ve been blogging here and there since at least 2003, paper journaling on and off since forever, so I think even if I quit, I’ll eventually come back. There’s always something to talk about, no matter how banal it may be! (read: it may only interest me) I think my problem lately has been that I keep trying to write with a specific audience in mind and trying to make everything as interesting as possible, and then nothing gets written because I’m in a box. But of course if you just write whatever you want, then things come more naturally, and more easily, and then it’s probably more pleasant for everyone.
