Once upon a time, I used this blog almost daily, and the majority of my friends used it just as frequently. I now read it every day or so, but very very few of my friends still use it for anything. The rise of FB! The supremacy of Twitter!
Things are pretty low-key these days. I cook sometimes, though not at often as I should. I'm craving a pot roast, so maybe I'll make one of those on Sunday. Some of my high school friends and I are going to supper tonight and then to Mistletoe tomorrow, which promises to be a bloody madhouse. I don't have an agenda, though, so I'm happy to wander around and follow their shopping plans, should they have any.
I just finished Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island, which I liked very much. He's an American journalist who went to England in 1973 and never left; he married an English girl and got a job in the newspaper industry. After 22 years, he and his family decided to move with their four children to the US, and before he left he wanted to travel (on foot, by bus, by train, and by taxi) from the bottom of England--Bournemouth--to the top--John o'Groats. Along the way he talks about life there, things he likes and dislikes about England and the English. It's funny, and winds up being basically a love letter to the England he has come to really love. Worth reading.
Now I've picked back up with Love in the Time of Cholera, which I like and for some reason abandoned a while back. His writing style is really lovely to read; I can see how people get obsessed with his work.
Ok, so who still uses this? Holla if you're out there. :P
