Looking at my blog’s homepage, I’m not sure that a page full of daily digests is what I really want. Especially since they’re mostly Twitter posts. It’s cool to archive them, and I like that everything I publish goes into one place, but I don’t know that I like how it looks.

For several years, I posted every day without fail. I think I might go back to that. It might be hard, and I might not get something up every single day, but I want to try it. The challenge will be not beating myself up if I miss a day. Daily posting used to be a point of pride for me, and I felt bad when I missed a day. I don’t want to do that anymore! So I think I will try to keep it light, try to make it daily, but not die if it’s not.

:A: is watching a show about the “undersea” – those depths where crazy-looking fish with lots of teeth live. It’s pretty interesting. I need to take a shower though, because I have to leave at 7:35am tomorrow to catch my train. Yeah, I’ll be super early, but better safe than sorry!

	RT @DCBadger: Chris Pine brought his mother to the oscars!! So nice and attractive! [etoile]
