ひさしぶりです！ – that’s the Japanese way of saying long-time-no-see. Last time I posted it was winter, and now spring is here, though its going by fast. The whole caucus of humanity is involved in planing for the summer. This includes all the new ‘adults’ that are being pushed out of the academic setting that they have lived in for most of their life. It’s a strange time of transistion – don’t worry, I’m not going to start talking about butterflies. In fact, I’m not going to talk about transitions either. This is more like turning a page, starting a new chapter, diving into the sequel because you loved the first book so much. Same universe, different plot. In the midst of discovering that plot, An act which I have to remind myself is all part of what makes stories so much fun, I have no desire to completely abandon the last few years of my life. The best sequels build upon what has already been established. So I’m starting on a book list for the summer. I guess I’ll start out three parts fiction, one part philosophical, one part history – I’ve missed reading for readings sake. Eventually I hope to cull the fiction down to two parts. Since good fiction can also be philosophical or historical I don’t think this is going to hurt my intellctual development any. Any suggestions would be appreciated. To keep up the art of essay writing I hope to do quasi reveiws of these books – not real ones, because I can’t write a good review  and at this point have no desire to learn.  Knitting should progress soon to, in a few days actually, with sewing close behind it. And then there will be the obligatory travel documentary, which I’m really looking forward to. I think my mom is bringing her laptop on our summer vacation, so I’ll have no excuse not to post ( not to mention I’ll be trapped happily spending the majority of my vacation time inside a moving vehicle). I’m hoping to make Fridays (and maybe Tuesdays) blogging days – this should be enough of an incentive for me to actually do something with this free time I’ve been blessed with. Anyway, that’s the plan. The future, I’ve decided, is like a really good molten chocolate cake – beautiful to look at, and best enjoyed in small quanties. Bon Appetite!
