just noise
Haven't been blogging lately. I miss the writing part but feel like nothing exciting is happening to report. My friend Sheila does this great "reasons to be grateful for" as well as blogging about important issues. My uncle has a blog about fishing on the Kenai. My creative friend Kathleen has, like, art and her movie trailers. I used to have funny stories about my son, but at age 8 his smart little comments and nudity take on a tone more tawdry and irritating than cute and charming.
When I was in the classroom, a thousand hilarious things happened each day. Teenagers are funny and it's easy to feel justified in mocking them, at least a little. During the summer I got to check out exotic locations like Las Vegas and Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Last few weeks have been pretty tame - work, home, chores, rain, watch an episode of Lost with Bob and head to bed. Get up. Repeat.
Maybe I need a hook - like many bloggers have. I mean, the whole Julie & Julie movie came out of a blog about the cookbook. The best book I read this summer was called A Year of Living Biblically, about a man who tried to spend a year following as many of the Bible's rules as possible. He documents it, and voila - a hit book.
Wonder what I can come up with... the Bible and cooking gigs are already taken, as is the "being grateful" slant.... I could do book reviews, but that's kinda boring. I could give parenting advice, but that would just be silly. Hmmm, I could document the weather in the hills of Goldstream. I could chronicle the life of a sock in the Hadaway household (they're always disappearing). I could makeup juicy gossip about prominent Fairbanks figures and critique their fashion sense. Or, I could stay true to the original. "Just noise. Nothing else."
Decisions, decisions....
