Regular blogging is hard to do when you’ve nothing to talk about. I could tell you about all the trivial things, like how my much needed USB hub arrived from Amazon the other day. Or I could talk tiresome local politics and complain about how our much maligned cooperatively owned grocery is finally going to shut down leaving our neighborhood with zero places to buy groceries (who would have thought I’d actually have misgivings about the co-op closing!). I could also bemoan the fact that the little French reading skills I picked up over the summer seem to have disappeared completely. Or I could bitch about how the movie In the Mood for Love took an interesting concept and a really fantastic sense of style and turned it into one of the most boring movies I have ever seen, adding to my annoyance by getting that damn theme song from Coupling stuck in my head. Alas, I realize none of these things are really worth talking about. So I will live you on a high note in my laundry list of trivialities: I think I managed to keep my bedroom radiator from making those frighteningly loud banging noises. Yay for undisturbed sleep! And now, I shall go eat some Reese’s Peanut Butter puffs ’cause I’m a grown-up and I can have kiddie cereal at 10:45 at night if I want!

UPDATE: the radiator is not fixed. Poo!
