Nothing to write

Saturday May 27, 2006 @ 10:01 PM (PDT)

Every day for the past month, I’ve looked at wonko.com and thought to myself, “I should write something.” Sometimes I’ll sit and watch the cursor blink for a few minutes, trying to think of something to write, but nothing comes out. So I go off and do something else, and the blog stagnates.

I’d write about work, but the things that would be interesting to read about are probably things that I shouldn’t write about, and the things that I could write about wouldn’t be particularly interesting.

I’d write about life in the new house, but nothing terribly exciting is happening. Felicity’s been in Quebec with her grandma for the last two weeks, so Qubit and I have had the place to ourselves. There’s been lots of meowing and consumption of microwavable foodstuffs. That’s about it.

I’d write about politics, but there’s really no point these days, is there? Politics and religion are subjects worth discussing only with people who already share your opinions; everyone else is already convinced you’re wrong.

I’d write short stories, but that’s more Felicity’s territory. Wouldn’t want to step on her toes.

I’d write programming tutorials, but I haven’t got the patience. I love learning, but I hate teaching people.

I guess that’s the problem with having a blog about nothing in particular.

Congratulations! You have just earned yourself a place in my quote collection. :) Randomly-selected recipients of witty e-mailings from yours truly will receive the added bonus of a droplet of Wonko-Wisdom at the bottom of their message:

Hey! I know how to inspire your bloggliness. We could go see The DaVinci Code and then you would have a movie review to write!

The Da Vinci Code blows. There. Movie review done.

(I liked the book, but the movie was painful to watch)

"Politics and religion are subjects worth discussing only with people who already share your opinions; everyone else is already convinced you're wrong."

Well put. I'm a conservative, and though I used to have a flame for arguing about every little political and religious detail, I no longer have any desire anymore. People are the way they are, as a result of background, personality, or whatever- and there's little that can change that.

that you own the world's most cowardly cat? More cowardly than a newly adopted kitten. More skittish than a mouse on acid! Leaps high piles of cover in a single sneeze!
