I'm Totally Writing My Paper Now and NOT Blogging

 

I used to be a contender (in my own mind).

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I am getting a little more OCD about my stats again. Like checking them regularly and being sad. The good news is that that sad feeling makes me blog more :) Also, if my stats get better, I will blog more. So both negative and positive reinforcement will work for me here.

My emphasis is Psycholgy. That degree thing.

Last week was SXSW here in Austin, which is kinda a big thing. But I'm a Utah girl living in NORTH Austin, so really, I didn't know what I was missing and all I noticed was a little more traffic occasionally.

I wrote on my calendar where and when Lenka was playing. She was in town. She and I are facebook friends. And there were a few other bands I probably would have liked to see. And Rip Torn. I wish I were more plan-y. And do-y. But I am finishing a degree after all. SO.

BUT then there are several blogs I read would read if I wasn't SOOOO BUSY and they are all like "This week was SXSW and I saw this and that and went here and there and it was oodles of fun!" And I was all "WHAT? I didn't know they were blogging from like next door/visiting my current home town.

Blogs I read that evidently are written in close proximity/visiting:

The Frikken Bloggess (she commented here once a million years ago)

Buddha Ate My Churro

Eric Snider always visits.

Dooce was here, too.

And I never read this one, but she's here too. 

Maybe some more y'all. I feel like I should have invited people over for cake. I make the best chocolate cake in the known universe, y'know. 

And, wow, I could go for some, if I wasn't so busy with my paper.

But NEXT year ... all y'all can all come to SXSW and visit Mrs. B. Roth, BGS and I'll provide cake.

(The cake is NOT a lie.)
