I guess I haven't felt that inclination much recently. It takes me time to churn out entries, believe it or not, and usually I feel like there are other things I much rather do at that moment. (That, and sometimes I just feel like something I have to say has already been said more eloquently by someone else anyway, especially regarding films and such.) But yeah, I'll try.Kenji Fujishimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635553450551818306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27825798.post-11967631602371776022007-12-02T09:58:00.000-05:002007-12-02T09:58:00.000-05:00Two more things: try to post regularly, even if i...Two more things: try to post regularly, even if its short---even a few lines--- so that your "readers" know you are still interested in this blog. Long spells of no posting---not good. Secondly, your opinion of "The Kite Runner" would be of interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27825798.post-37351614904525073762007-12-01T22:19:00.000-05:002007-12-01T22:19:00.000-05:00Thanks, anonymous.

Yeah, I tend to be more hard on myself than I need to be sometimes (regular readers of this blog---wonder how many of <I>those</I> are left after my lengthy posting absences). It's my perverse way of convincing myself that I keep myself "honest." Or it could be I just think too much about what other people think.<BR/><BR/>I guess I'll just heed what I wrote at the end of the post: in a few months or so, I'll try to assess where I'm at and how I feel about that. Maybe by then I'll be so sick of living at home that I'll decide to move out, who knows? But I think you're right, anonymous...at least, I hope so.Kenji Fujishimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10635553450551818306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27825798.post-21003714606024440492007-12-01T21:11:00.000-05:002007-12-01T21:11:00.000-05:00There is nothing wrong with living at your parents...There is nothing wrong with living at your parents home for a few years. Why waste money on rent when you have a place to stay? Working at the WSJ is the dream of many people---maybe if you stay there you can work your way into another position you might like more. And--the intellectual pursuits--nothing wrong with that either. You are being too hard on yourself. "Maturity" (Whatever that is) will come soon enough---just take it one step at a time and be happy that you have what you have---because it sounds like you are in a really good place right now in your life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
