Limping through my second blogiversary

Apologies for the long absence. I’m still obsessed with photography, and indeed I have a new toy. So I’ve been updating my Flickr account much more often than the blog or my LiveJournal, and I’ve been updating my LiveJournal more often than the blog because, as you might have noticed, I hate writing blog posts without enough time to properly research and edit them. I stick my less polished stuff (and the more personal stuff) on the LJ. And also, my life has taken some interesting twists and turns lately as I move through a period of transition, so I’m feeling the need to document it.

Gosh, it’s now been two years since I started this blog. Kinda disappointing that I kinda limped through this milestone instead of charging past it at full steam ahead. But at least I’m still going and still intend to do so. Plus, I told my economics professor about the blog last week, and he said he liked it, asking me if I was considering a career as a politician (um, no — but maybe policy analyst). That’s pretty cool. And yes, I’m getting A’s in both of my night classes so far (the other reason I haven’t been updating).

Anyhow, I am working on a substantive post that should be up this weekend (or maybe not — I have an unusually packed social schedule). Posting frequency after that will still be erratic as always, though. As I always suggest, you can be notified of updates automatically via my RSS feed or my Atom feed. If you don’t know what RSS is, here’s a good quickstart guide.

Assuming I still have any regular readers left, thanks for bearing with me for the last two years (or however long it’s been for you). Hopefully I’ll be able to build up some more steam next year when I should have some more free time.

A journalism fling?

Update 12/1/05 Forgot to credit Gene Healy for a link. Whoops!

Last week, I saw Good Night, and Good Luck at one of the South Bay Movie Fiends gatherings that I organize. This film, along with the previous movie we saw, Capote, got me thinking about my future.

This requires some explanation.

Some of you know that I’ve long been contemplating a change in career. I’ve already talked through this at length on my LiveJournal (note that this entry is only visible to friends), so let me just rehash it briefly.
