welcome

even though i've been poo poo'ing on blogs for a year, today i succumb to creating one. i used to say, why do i need a web journal to share my thoughts with the world? i am perfectly content with my private little notebook. and so, now you must think i came up with a colossal revelation as to why i should create a blog? um, no, not really. it just seems that everyone and their mothers are doing this so i guess it's finally time. besides, all aspiring writers have one, right? and that's what i am..

this morning i turned on the tv and regis & kelly were excitedly chatting about something, as they always are. marisa tomei came on and said that she forgot to tell her grandmother that she was going to be on. so they were about to call her to tell her to tune in. then, "breaking news" - it was reported that an american airlines plane crashed into some homes in far rockaway, queens. not far from the home I grew up in. (my parents don't live there anymore either.) . terrorist attacks or not, this is sad. what kind of world are we living in now that accidental deaths are status quo?? when i heard the news this morning, they said it was apartment buildings that were affected. when i later heard it was actually houses, i felt relieved knowing there might have been less people involved. i was shocked and surprised at myself - that i felt good about that. it's a sad state of things when we just sit here measuring the lesser of evils.

today i need to study for the lsat. that is my daily routine. 12/1 is the big day. i will be very happy and relieved when that is over with!
