I should have a blog

There are a lot of things I want to write about. So I think, "I should start a blog." I should start a blog to write about all of the things that are not the articles on my desk I need and want to finish, not my book manuscript, not the talks and lectures. These things range from analysis of the representation of sexuality and in-between-ness in Lost Girl, to thoughts about random cultural phenomenon, to thoughts about teaching and about the difference between information and understanding. I think I should start a blog for those things and make a discipline of writing in it every something (week, month, day). This could be a writing practice and an outlet for the things that rattle around and take up space in my mind.

But then I remember--"wait, I have a blog. But then I wonder, "is it still there? It has been forever since I wrote in it." So I looked today, and yes, yes it is!  So then I read what was in it, and wow, is it personal. Not all of it, but some of it. So it won't be the place to write all of those other things if I want anyone to read them, because I don't want my professional intellectual world reading that last post I wrote, for instance.

So then I think, maybe I need a blog to write about Kaya. Kaya my amazing beautiful 9 month old daughter. But then I think maybe I need a blog just about Kaya. And then there is this blog. So maybe I need three blogs. This one--to continue an to keep writing in whatever vein this was that I opened back in 2008 I think, one called Kaya Linda--where I write for her and about her, and the other one, where I write the analytical stuff and creative stuff that comes to mind.

So this one is what it is--what I started already. I'll return to it and see where it goes.
