Well here goes: my first "real" blog entry. This was going to be a painfully unfunny attempt at humor, but after reading a dismal book called Despair for most of the day I find I'm no longer in the mood. At least we have all been spared of that.
Despair is really a great book, even if it sucks the humor out of you. I'd even recommend it to my reader if only you hadn't already read it. I find that, like all good art, it inspires in me a response from both my intellectual and emotional halves. And, like only the best art, it strives to do so in such a unique and clever way that I find my two halves tied up as one; each indistinguishable from the other. Or, in less Nabokovian prose, after a memorable passage I'll put the book down feeling profoundly moved, but not necessarily sure in what way, or why. I could probably explain further, but I have little time. Ms. Leisure is almost back from work and is sure to demand to see what I've done with myself today.
Also, the first installation of a soon-to-be standard peice in my blogs:
Recent Revelations:
1) Just recently it was revealed to me that I should strive to lose more control of the situation, when the situation is a social one. By staying out of people's heads and not analyzing them with the intent to "fix" whatever problems they have with me I'll probably find it easier to relax. This is easier said than done though, especially with the people you care about the most.
2) Actually, one revelation is more than enough.
Okay, this is the end now.
