I often receive comments and e-mails suggesting that I should blog more. Behind these requests is, I suspect, the mistaken impression that I am full of witty insights that I am withholding from the world. People meet me and see that I look gloomy and thoughtful, and assume that I am busy considering profound matters. Or they read this blog and enjoy something I have written in a moment of clarity, and assume that I am thinking interesting things all day.
This is, sadly, not the case.
Over the last 24 hours, for example, I have been thinking pretty constantly about how when I wear my gray knit cap, I look a lot like Adam Arkin on "Northern Exposure," and I'm not sure if I like that look. Whenever I pass a mirror -- or any pane of glass, really -- I think about this. I have also been doing a lot of thinking about when I should take a cigarette break, and whether it's worth the effort of walking to the parking garage, especially since smoking in the middle of the day might make me feel sick. Also the Darkness single "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" has been running through my head every few minutes.
If you would like to know more of this sort of thing, I will be happy to post it. Just let me know.
