I am very lame today. As I said in my previous post, we have been away, traveling, and visiting family and this, this, is the reason why I have not posted much, or at all. I think that is funny, because it is just a bit of an excuse. Yes, traveling makes finding some alone time to compose a post difficult. Or I think about something which would make a super (and of course terribly witty) post, but I am not near a computer and will not be for some time. Consequently I cannot remember what I wanted to say exactly, but it was definitely going to be clever. If I could only remember it...
Anyhow, I am lame today (and possibly many days previous), because I have been complaining in my head that none of my favorite blogs have posted recently. I am beginning to wonder if some of them will ever post again. What then? What will I do to distract myself when I work? And speaking of work, I am lame on that front as well, since it is taking me a while to get down to it. I have decided I am lame because 1) I have not exactly been Ms. Ever-Present Blogger; and 2) I should be more time-on-task than I have been up to this moment today.
Putting work aside for a moment (ha!), the blogging is a funny thing. What gives me the right to complain about bloggers I read not blogging? Sure, I am complaining in my head and the bloggers in question cannot hear, nor read, my mind. Am I not guilty of the very thing about which I am complaining? Am I not guilty of this sin? I think I must look to my own house before I start criticizing others.
Ultimately, it is not a criticism. I simply enjoy reading a handful of entertaining blogs. There are informative ones and thoughtful ones, which discuss feminist issues. While these are good, and are frequently updated, sometimes I am a little too tired to follow them. It is exhausting to be engaged in the good fight all the time. The ones I miss reading now are those which talk about every-day life and give funny observations. When I read them, I wish I could be as clever, or humorous, or have that same impact upon others. Well, we will keep trying, right?
