An Ignored Blog, a New Purpose

So, I've kinda been ignoring this for some time. I've really wanted to keep it up, but the constraints that I put on myself with it's purpose haven't been inspiring me like I hoped it would. It doesn't help that the things I wanted to "create" cost money, and I've been tapped out ever since I moved into my current place. Also, I hated the fact that whenever I posted onto my music blog I'd count it as my activity for the day, so I'd just post a link over there. Everyone who subscribes to this blog is probably already reading that one, so it just felt like a cop-out and needless.

So, what have I been doing with my time? Well, a lot of reading, watching BBC documentaries, catching up on other television I find interesting, some videogames, being frustrated that my roommates never clean, looking for new jobs but rarely sending out resumes, feeling superior, and generally just trying to find purpose in it all.

I like writing, though. I want to do more of it, and I think this is the place to start it up.

From now on, I'm going to run this like a regular blog of my various activities. I'll focus on reviewing the various bits of culture I'm consuming at a rapid rate, and to make sure I keep track of anything I bother creating. Depending how bored I get at work, I'll probably get a couple book reviews up in the next few days. I've got two more brewing adventures to discuss and a third coming up as soon as I'm in the same room as my roommate Paul for more than an hour. Trying new things with food is one of the things I'm most fascinated with, but I've never really learned to shop for say, a week instead of for a single recipe, so it gets a little too expensive to do anything interesting - but I have had a few deep frying adventures lately, so I'll try to document them.

Well, here we go.
