I’ve never had a blog before, but I recently was advised to start one. It seemed like a good opportunity to a) set down some things in writing before they disappear into the black hole of my very bad memory, b) ramble about these things to a very limited readership, c) contribute to cluttering up the internet and d) waste time while in grad school.
To that end, I’ll be addressing the following twenty topics (none of which are in question form, actually), suggested to me by the above-mentioned suggester:
1. bowling (my opinion of the sport)
2. fermented foods/beverages
3. earrings as a fashion accessory
4. trail building in Russia
5. public transit in Argentina
6. the dive bars of Eau Claire
7. lap swimming
8. intro to the accordion
9. Boo Boo (the cat)
10. how to make young children draw portraits of Barack Obama
11. learning Georgian from someone who speaks no English
12. CSAs
13. running the Seattle half-marathon — a primer
14. the saga of worm bin construction
15. Worms Eat My Garbage — a critical examination
16. meeting boys on Love Lab — advice for those who are interested in doing such a thing
17. ask Julia — the column
18. Wisconsin weather
19. the animal I’d most like to domesticate
20. my roommate reviews
That should keep me busy for a while. If there are any of these topics you’d like to see addressed sooner rather than later, let me know.
