As I assured my mother this morning, I am really not all that sick, despite my ongoing blog-winge. That’s a hazard of NaBloPoMo — previously unbloggable events (i.e., “I lay on the couch all day and did nothing”) become newsworthy. Moods that would normally keep one far away from the computer for fear of alarming loved ones are chronicled in excrutiating detail. Hurrah November!

Speaking of which, I don’t know why, but NaBloPoMo never really clicked for me this year (I’ve been experiencing that with a lot of things, actually). I don’t know if it’s because of how busy I’ve been, or our new living situation (where every night is hang-out-with-the-housemates night), or the turmoil at work, but I haven’t felt so creatively engaged lately. Looking back at last November, with all my talk of poets and poetry (and all my unblogged memories of reading and such), I can’t help but wonder where my mind is these days.

Anyway. I’m off to an opening at The Lab with Brian and Hope (I can’t seem to link directly to the Post Postcard show we’re going to see, but it’s on the front page tonight). Our freinds David Faulk and Michael Johnstone are both involved in the show, and I’m hoping things’ll be cheap enough for me to to some Xmas shopping!
