I've gotten lax in my blogging

It's so hard to stay current on my blog. I guess there's just not that much of interest going on in my life -- or at least, not much that I feel comfortable posting indefinitely on the World Wide Web. I engage in a lot of self-censorship because, well, I know the second that I mention anything sensitive or potentially embarassing, my boss or someone is going to stumble onto the blog and fire me for exercising my right to free speech.

There's also the fact that I have a new love in my life that keeps me too busy to blog most days. I'm talking of course about the game Text Twist, available through msn.

It's a simple game -- you have six letters and you have to rearrange them into different words as fast as possible, picking up more points for each word you create in the three-minute time frame. So simple, yet so addictive. It's why I'm sitting here playing it on a Friday night. And I'm not bored, I'm actually having a pretty good time.

Basically, my life is pretty sad and unexciting right now, but I have it a lot better than many people throughout the world -- earthquake victims in Pakistan, Katrina evacuees, the entire population of Iraq, etc. Working in the newspaper industry really helps me keep things in perspective. So I'm just going to keep on enjoying my Text Twist.
