So this about sums up me and blogging, from great NZ philosophers Bret and Jemaine (of Flight of the Conchords):
"A catch 22 type dilemna has struck kiwi band Flight of The Conchords in relation to updating the band news on their website. Members of the band (Jemaine and Bret) have noticed that whenever they are doing things that could be reported on the website, they are too busy to update the website. In addition, whenever the band members have some spare time in which they could update the website, there is usually, as one member put it, 'nothing going on'."
So yeah, that's been me lately. Usually the longer I go without posting, the more interesting things actually are. Same for journaling, I've always been so good at journaling when things are incredibly boring or kind of depressing and I have absolutely zero records of super awesome fantastic times. Oh, and photos. My semester in Europe has pretty much no pictures of any of the fun stuff and tons of like monuments or scenery that you could just google and look up. I'd rather live life than watch it through a digital camera.
So obviously the past few weeks have been like AMAZING since I haven't posted. We went to rodeos and museums and out with friends and met new people and I've run about a thousand miles and read about a zillion books and ate fantastical food (and some gross food) and seen great films, and I'm also in karate. Which is totally fun and I always thought after about 15 that I was way too late to be a beginner, but that is most definitely not so. Watch out for Abbey the black belt pretty soon here. (By soon I mean not soon.)
Things that I'm thinking about recently:
1. Radiohead with the drumline on the Grammys last night was fantastic, I've seen that done but that idea with that particular drumline with that particular band with that particular song was just like magic.
2. I never realized until I was in Spain how much I love Mexican food, I had a similar experience in Quito when they took us out for Tex-Mex, and lately (especially with a trip to Joe T.'s) it's like the most amazing thing ever.
3. I wish there were about 11 weekend nights a week because Dane and I love going out with people 2-on-2, I mean big groups are fun but sometimes exhausting and I feel like I usually end up talking to the same people all the time at those things. And the list of people we want to go out with/have over is growing a lot faster than we can keep up with.
4. I CAN'T WAIT for Andrew Bird March like 22nd or something, everybody should go look him up and then buy tickets to the show.
5. Oh and also it's weird to think that that's actually after our trip to Britain which we haven't even started planning yet. And which I'm not telling you when or how long it is, wily internets.
