NEEDLING

Well... I did the unthinkable, the unfathomable, I cancelled my home internet account! That’s right, I will no longer be plugged-in as of the end of the first week of next month. Why? For various reasons, one of which being financial, but also because I spend way too much time at this computer doing pretty much a whole lot of nothing instead of what I should be doing: working seriously on my various projects. It’s not like I’ll be completely out of touch, since I have constant internet connection at work, and I can always walk a few blocks to my neighborhood coffee shop with my laptop and use their free Wi-Fi connection. So I’ll still be around. I’ll still post on this blog, though my posts will be even more infrequent than they have been recently. What might happen, what I hope will happen, is this not being able to post immediately will force me to write and rewrite, think and rethink, edit my posts, and then post them. I have a tendency to write and to post and to barely look at what I’m doing. When I reread what I’ve published on my blog, I sometimes cringe with some of what I find there on my electronic screen. And anyway, I think I want to start reading the printed press once again. I miss the turning of newspapers pages over breakfast.
