Oh, I'm just getting started. I'd like to alter the template, but I'd rather write. I'll alter the template one day maybe, if I'm in that kind of mood. I just want to type right now. I've gone back and forth on this Having a Blog Thing for a while now. Sometimes it freaks me out and sometimes I think I can handle it. It's not that I'm that sensitive; it's just that I don't know if I can be myself. (And lately I am wavering in my support about the whole multiplicity of identities thing. I mean, Stuart Hall writes convincingly, and I like his arguments, but maybe I'm a modernist at heart? Or perhaps I'm simply being nostalgic for something I've only read about but never experienced. This probably only proves that I should stop thinking about it already. For at least a few days.)

Or maybe I'm feeling like this b/c of the things I bombarded myself with today: a salvation army thrift store browse (recently un-mothballed clothing and lonely, smelly people who just want to talk while I search out Made in England stoneware), another harrowing montreal bike ride, briefly worrying about taxes and then saying "fuck it" at the tax forms, chinese food, a student production of "the beggar's opera", tofu chocolate pudding, a late-night viewing of "event horizon". Quite a day of incongruous stimulation considering that I just handed in my last essay of the semester on Tuesday morning and keep thinking I still have to work on another essay or go to the library and do lit searches. Of course, I should be doing those things anyway, though without the stress of Deadlines (which i never meet anyway. see above note about taxes.)

Lately I like the following things:
- The New Pornographers - "The Electric Version". This is so good it hurts me. Download "The Laws Have Changed". It makes me want to bear Dan Bejar's love child. Or something like that.
- Homemade chocolate tofu pudding sweetened with stevia. Low in carbs, high in chocolately goodness! Also high in west-coast hippychick vegan protein love vibes. Does this make up for the my Essays Are All Done, Now I'm Going to Eat Two Hot Dogs and Poutine Dinner I had last night? Haha. No. Nor does it help with tonight's chinese food dinner. As I said to the tax forms today: "Fuck it."
- Chinese brocolli. It's really good. I really like it. Etc.
- Some people, some of whom are quite cute.
- 'vitamin B6.
- http://www.superatomic.co.uk/blog/ especially the story about the gardener. that was great.
- the idea that this blog might be something interesting with some stories/essays of interest rather than a whole lot of e-rambling. mmm, e-rambling.
