In which I turn all philosophical about a friggin PERSONAL WEBSITE

So, I'm starting to think about turning this thing into a blog format, meaning more than one entry on the page. Sometimes I don't update here because I haven't thought of a full-length post (and sometimes I just go ahead and post that anyway!) and isn't that worse? When there is no new post? I can't STAND it when my favorite blogs don't update. Not that I am anyone's favorite, but you understand. I tend to write more about the one thing that happened to me today or a memory that came back or a transcript of the evening's dialogue- this isn't a very link-heavy site and I'm not particularly interested in the political and social commentary type of blog. I read them, definitely, but I'm positive the world wide web does not need my brand of political and social commentary which would mostly consist of Dude, the President should really consider Botox and Gosh, I wish they'd really just bring the soldiers home already and then then we can all just party with the Haitians.

There are times, though, when I would like to just post a link and say "Hey, this is cool" and sneak off for a bit. I'd like to post the thoughts I've been storing up in a notebook in my bag, even though none of them are longer than 5 sentences. I'd keep up the longer entries (because we all know there will be more painting disasters and where shall I turn for comfort?) I like the silly things but I'm also thinking about other things I might like to write about, like the fact that What's So Amazing About Grace is giving me a stomachache. (Lest you be tricked yourselves, "grace" is actually a code word for "forgiveness". I KNOW! Ugh!) I'm always going to write about what I like writing about, but reader responses are always exciting. Sometimes I get reactions from posts that I thought were so throw-away. I don't know. I say this website is for my own entertainment (and OH, it IS) but I love hearing from you too.

Anyway, this is just to say I'm thinking about reorganizing this site, to the extent that my unencumbered-by-HTML-or-CSS-or-anything-about-Movable-Type brain can handle.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, even though it seems we will be out of town for most of it, like the last couple of weekends. The Bride and Groom are having a West Coast reception tomorrow afternoon and then we're stopping by A's house for dinner on the way home. Did you know A's parents own a winery? They MAKE WINE. A is, like, a wine PROFESSIONAL. Never EVER turn down a dinner invitation from A. And then, because I bought expensive makeup at a department store, I was given some scratch tickets to possibly win a free ticket to a new show in town, Princesses. Unbelievably, I won a free ticket. The others were all $20 off a ticket. Maybe they were all like that, maybe I shouldn't be so self-congratulatory, but this is a MUSICAL. About HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS. Naturally my sisters and I are attending the Sunday matinee.

Also, the Bride hooked me up with some more official looking pictures, the ones with the official dresses, and I still have to post those. There is an especially dorky one of Phillip and me that I intend to title: Maggie and Phillip Go To Prom.

You know what else is happening this weekend? The de-taping and de-plasticking of the Red Bathroom. Oh you KNOW I will have pictures of that.

happy friday everyone

you do a great job updating often! much better than me, my posts often come two or three within a day or two and then trail off for a few weeks.

that is for the good of the rest of you who do not want to read my emo whiny rantings.

i do want to post more thoughtful stuff though, and a little bit more autobiographical stuff might give greater context.

having multiple posts/day might have been nice for coordinating comments on posts such as yesterday and today where i feel i am only responding to one of several possible topic threads you have created. nerdy!
