when i was at the broadway league conference there was a session on interactive media and e-marketing. the words 'twitter', 'technorati', 'adwords', '2nd life' and 'blogosphere' were thrown around. some people looked confused and others looked validated. i was just glad i knew what the words meant especially because one of my greatest fears in life is becoming the person who can't program the VCR. i'm so glad i don't even have to worry about that anymore since VCR's are obsolete.
anyway, after this session, every time something remotely interesting happened we would look at each other knowingly and say 'blog fodder'. and today as i drove to work i realized that this whole blogging phenomenon has actually changed the way i think. what do you say to that eckart?
it's like tetris. remember how after you played a LOT of tetris, everyday objects - buildings, tables, kleenex boxes etc. would resemble the tetris blocks? and you would think about how they could all fit together? no?
um. (awkward pause)
back to blogs. now that i have one, albeit humble and filled with gibberish more often than not, it has added a new dimension to the way i think about things. occasionally events in my life are evaluated by whether or not they are blog worthy. i haven't reached the point where i go through my day looking for stuff to blog about but i definitely have moments where i think 'i must mention that on my blog'. and then i forget, and i don't. but that's not the point of this post.
does this post have a point? not really.
today a friend sent me a humorous email and i wrote back 'that is totally going on the blog', which in today's world is almost the highest complement. it's the 2008 version of i'm going to stick that in my scrapbook and draw a decorative border around it.
so in conclusion, let's end with two lists that i thought of today while i was driving to work and had one of those 'this is for the blog' moments.

- my blog now lives here. i have an affinity for certain words over others. i start sentences with 'so' a lot. and although i have a masters degree in publishing and editing i have don't care to employ the rules of grammar or start sentences with capital letters. i like the idea of sunrises more than the reality of getting up at dawn. i am a shoulder dancer. i have a love/hate relationship with my freckles. i often create lists. i do not create lists for things that most people create lists for however, like shopping lists, or lists of books to read. my lists are more along the lines of 'things i wish i had said in the moment, but didn't'. i love all things related to art. especially the creating of it.

I HATE FAKE FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS. I also think anyone under the age of 60 should definitely not own any, there's no reason, they collect dust.
i'm waiting for a picture of you in cowboy boots.
I am REALLY pro earmuffs. In fact, they are my dream accessory.
I have also owned nunchucks. Would consider a matching tracksuit.
And God only knows if I will be wooed by some pleather pants one day. I saw someone looking SO incredibly hot in some the other day.
The crocs, however, I agree with. UGLIEST SHOES EVER.
