Tumbling into the New Semester

I really do apologize for neglecting this blog a bit, but school's starting back and the first big professional deadline of the year is rapidly approaching - in less than 20 days and that means I'm in quite the mess. But this is also because I've really gotten into Tumblr... the fact that you have tumblarity that tracks how popular you and your posts are and that you can influence and see where you rank in terms of that popularity is somehow addictive. At least for now. Plus, I don't have to log out of my professional Google account to post something quickly, so it's a time-saver (I'm looking at it that way rather than as yet another time vampire that force me to search the internet for cool things to post).

Good luck with classes and school for those of you still there (entering the 23rd grade and such)!

Twitter has eaten my brain... and spit out the seeds.

I feel bad not blogging recently because I was finally doing well and getting my act together, but somehow I actually have become one of those obnoxious people who seems to have given up on the beauty of the written word and now I just microblog, or Twitter. And since I put my feed up here, I feel like it's somehow okay because it's a sort of update on my life. Even though I usually blog about completely different things from those that I tweet about. I blog about events and how I react to them and feel about them. I tweet what I'm watching on TV or my mood, sans reason. Any of you guys fall into this trap?
