Some Kind of Wonderful

Life continues, things are more or less good.

The weather hasn't been so summery as of late but the mood sure has. After getting this blog off to a nice, characteristically long-winded start, I've decided to keep things a little more concise from now on.

So, here are some things I am thinking about:

* Have I mentioned lately how stoked I am about Austin? I am SO stoked. Feels like my kind of place!

* I just watched Becoming Jane about Jane Austen and it was - first of all - not very good at all. And second of all, it was horribly depressing. Basically the woman is picky and has high standards (namely that she won't marry without love) and so she ends up alone. How does one learn to be less picky and more open without lowering one's standards?

* I am a very materialistic person. This is really beginning to worry me. I've always thought I was a little better than most people - but I think I'm just materialistic about different things. Either way, I have to learn how to find enjoyment from something other than possessions or else next year is going to be a very long year. But then, I guess that's the whole point.

* I miss my nephew

* I am writing. Woo!

Basically, I am thinking interesting thoughts and now I am tired and should probably go to bed!
