So, here I sit in a hair salon, waiting for my turn to have my hair trimmed; and this is the first time in over two weeks that I’ve felt enough incentive to post on my blog. Part of the problem is that I haven’t had much time over the last few weeks, amongst busyness at work, becoming strata council secretary and taking on some freelance and volunteer design work. But then there’s the issue of motivation, under which looms the depressing question “does anyone actually read this thing, anyway?”
Google’s analytics tell me “no, not really,” as I haven’t had more than one or two hits a day in the last two weeks. So what’s the point? My hope in starting up a blog again is that it would be read, and a a result of reading my blog, internet surfing citizens would be informed, inspired, entertained and/or challenged. So what kind of posts accomplish those sort of things? How do I write posts like that? And the bigger question is: even if I do write posts like that, will people read them?
Well, it’s my turn soon so I’ll stop rambling aimlessly. Obviously posts like this won’t draw any more readers, but I was bored and thought I’d share my thoughts on the blog.
Busy. Stressing.
Still obsessing.
Rushing. Waiting.
Irritating.
Bleeding. Paler.
Fear of failure.
Stealing. Lying.
Multiplying.

I purchased the movie Slumdog Millionaire on DVD a few days ago. It’s a fantastic movie that I saw twice in theatres, falling in love with the beautiful cinematography, wonderful soundtrack and unique storytelling. Consequently, I was looking forward to not only watching it again, but also viewing the making-of featurette and deleted scenes that were advertised on the back of the DVD. In a frustrating discovery after watching the movie, I found that none of the special features were on the disc.
After some quick research, I learned that Fox had made a mistake and shipped the wrong discs with the retail versions. If you encountered the same issue that I did, you can visit this website and sign up to be sent a replacement disc. I wanted to inform others of that, but I also thought that the reason this mistake was possible in the first place might make an interesting topic for discussion…
