Ha. Look how that turned out.
Well, I have the rest of the year to make up for it. I mean, I shouldn't have to update every other day and in no way, shape, or form, will I have an adequate amount of time to blog during the semester. Usually I do better during the breaks. Yet what do you know, I didn't blog the whole winter break.
Le sigh. I'm pathetic.
I spent all of winter break trying to figure out what my next project on here would be. For the summer that is. (*cough*SCHOOL*cough*) I originally thought of reviewing classic novels, or my journey into reading all those classics that everyone is "supposed" to read. No offense to the classics, but sometimes I want to bang my head against a wall when I'm trying to figure out what the hell is going on. It could be the writing style of specific time periods, but then I probably wouldn't have fallen in love with "Phantom of the Opera."
Actually, strike that. I'm just obsessed with anything Phantom related. (Yep, totally listened to musical first, read the book second. Bad Suzie. BAD.)
But I thought, maybe just maaaaaaaybe, I could try reading some of those novels again and blog my thoughts, feelings on the subject, etc. The thought sprung up at work when I was shelving an Ayn Rand book. I was reading the back of the book, skimming through the pages, totally uninterested (I haven't met anyone who loves her yet....if you do, feel free to try to convince to me read her books. I probably won't...) and proceeded to look over some more titles saying to myself, yet again, "I really should read some of these."
The next idea sprung up from my sister who is a well-spring of themes for blogs. Sitting in the living room a couple days after Christmas, I was looking at my "Good Eats: The Middle Years" cookbook/anthology that I had received as a present. Katie states that I should attempt a Julie/Julia project. After my response that it had already been done, she just continued with "No, with Good Eats! You can make all the recipes out of your books!"
"Uh, no."
"Why not?"
"That would require me to make sushi and squid. I'm not going to attempt that. Ew."
"Ok, not every recipe then."
So with that in mind I skimmed through my book trying to figure out what I wanted to make first. Then I promptly lost interest as we began to set up a Kinex roller coaster.
That's ADD for ya.
Then I considered making it a confessions type blog. You know, random things I'm interested in or actual thoughts about situations I'm in....but the theme would be as though I was confessing it... Yeah it sounds more lame as I type. I think that came about just because I was trying to figure out a way to write about my recent love affair with the Korean music scene.
Really, it's a lot more interesting than one would assume. They fulfill my boy-band craving from my childhood. That and the talent over there is just burgeoning. Like every few months I feel like I've found a new group or artist. Plus, it's not just me! MTV has a web page dedicated to just Korean music and the whole culture. MTV! Also apparently many celebs have an interest in their music. Will.i.am is currently working on an album with this edgier girl group (2ne1, weird name, awesome music.) that will debut in the good ol' US of A.
Well, now that just looks bad. I promise that this was not supposed to end up on the subject of Korean music. It has taken over my free time. If an artist is talented, I don't care what language their songs are in, I'll listen to it. I'm just hoping that some of those artists are able to make it in the US, if only for the fact that so far, no Asian artist has made it big in America. (As far as I know....I'm just getting into this whole subject.)
So yeah, projects.....not sure what I'll end up going with, but for the rest of this semester I think I'll just stick with my usual whatever-the-heck-pops-into-my-head-nonsense. Maybe I'll do all three. Just not in any order. Who knows, lets see what happens hmm?
