The blogosphere has recently improved. Did you know that? Two friends have re-structured their online lives with two fabulous new blogs and another has started a new blog.
The lovely and talented Bri is back, weaving us narratives about her new garden and the delectable foods she makes. Her words, photos and recipes leave me salivating. I just wish I could join her on her hunts through the Santa Monica Farmer's Market, or really just help her finish her desserts.
My dear friend Stacey has *finally* launched her new blog. She's been on xanga for a while, but wanted to start again. Her new site on Typepad looks great. She also recently got a DSLR, so she's finally exploring digital photos. I can't wait to see what she writes about. Her joy and curiosity about life infuse everything she does.
My old friend Dana has recently started a blog, Begin It Now. She's smart, opinionated and fun. She has a global perspective and a good heart, and works for this amazing organization. I also can't wait to see what Dana writes about. I love that the internet allows me the opportunity to learn about my friends in a different way.
This evening I realized the amount of school work I have to do by around June 6th. I'm more behind than I realized. Which means I should not be posting heavily for the next couple of weeks. Why do I always do this to myself? I probably won't have any lengthy posts, but I'm hoping to still get some photos up a couple times a week. I also signed up for an intensive film photography class that starts at the end of May. Which, you know, overlaps so nicely with my busy period. I'm insane and think I can do it all. Please don't tell me, "I told you so," when I have my breakdown. It's just not nice.
From your title I thought you were going to talk about the ripple afghan phenomenon that has been spreading across the blogasphere...
Thanks for the shout out, friend. As soon as I finish my novel "How to Sleep Your Way Across LA in 365 Days" I will send you a copy of the manuscript. Please do the same with your sitcom treatment. ;)

Oh yes, for sure.
I'm thinking my sitcom will be like Friends and Ed, minus the coffeeshop and the bowling alley. Big city blue state girl moves home to mid-sized red state city for grad school. Mixes with old and new friends and tries to find love and a new life as she becomes an architect (much sexier field). There can be old flames and enemies to spice things up. The question is, who should play me on tv?

glad you're not planning on being busy or anything! my brain is so dead from a combination of overwork, upcoming time off, illness, home improvement, and apathy. I hope you get through your busy time with your brain functions relatively intact.

As long as there is some histrionic matron-type and some emo dude desperately trying to gain her affection by not doing anything to display his true feelings, any sitcom will do fine.
If According to Jim can last, then you should be able to write the next Seinfeld. This is supposed to be a complement, but it sucks as one.

You should go more Sex and the City like AG did for graduate school. Of course, AG did not become a journalist, a lawyer (not yet), a PR company owner or Ms. Harry Goldblatt (not yet...).

Whatever, we all know that AG is going for Miss Uncanny Canadian USA.

Chuckles, you are just jealous because you want UC all for yourself.
