I guess I should use this. I do have a paper journal - a wonderful moleskine - but who has the time to write? But writing is so important.. I've been blogging since I was in my early years of high school. I still find come across my old blogs from time to time, mostly on livejournal, and they are amusing and insightful. Weeks between entries turn into months and then I just stop using them. Nothing really important happens in my life anyway... But my life has been crazy. I've traveled over the world, moved from New York City to Austin, Texas, fallen in love, gotten a great job, switched universities a few times... Maybe I should keep better track.

Anyway. I'm home from work early to let the AC guy in. A and I stayed with his brother over the weekend because our air conditioning was broken and no one could come fix it until today. We took his little niece and nephew to see Cars II on Sunday. Kids movies have gotten kind of crazy... I saw a preview for a new Winnie the Pooh movie though. I used to love those movies! Ahh, memories.

Between my online classes, working and all the other crap modern adult life demands, I barely have time anymore to write my own books, let alone read. I've gotten some cool free magazine subscriptions - including the Economist and Harpers, I'm behind but I'm trying to read at least most of every issue. And I've gotten a couple of novels from the library across the street that I'm trying to read. I'm also studying some Chinese. Writing is cool, but I'm more concerned with speaking. I love learning languages - I speak French and I'm working on Spanish, but Chinese has a very cool sound to it. And even here there are a lot of Chinese speaking families.

I need a nap...
