New Travels

Summer's not over quite yet, but my vacation almost is. Last week I quit my job and have been using the extra time to pack up the bags I feel like I've just unpacked from Buenos Aires.

Saturday is Ithaca, until mid-October.

Home is kind of becoming something of a posting station between my travels.

Over the weekend I decided to check some cookbooks out of the local library, to you know, practice not killing people. I grabbed a copy of Moosewood Restaurant Celebrates, a collection of recipes from the Moosewood Collective dedicated to all kinds of holidays and celebrations.

The book has a lot of references to Ithaca, from local celebrations to tofu kan to the Tibetan population and its influences. And it hit me, it finally hit me, that I haven't been in Ithaca since December.

This is going to be a school year dedicated to really getting to experience the Ithaca outside my campus. More hippie organizations, gorges, festivals, art shows, contra dances, EVERYTHING I can possibly get my hands on.

Oh, and getting a job.

Other super-important question: what should I do with this blog? One thing hasn't changed since Argentina: I'm still an attention whore. If I kept blogging about random happenings, would you guys still read it?

People who say "they are blogging for themselves" are stupid attention whores that like to make pretend that they are ignorant of the fact that they are attention whores. I am not one of those whores.

Example: I had a really bad experience a few semesters ago where my professor told the class we had to blog about every single assigned reading, which I did. Apparently about three months into the class, I was the only one that still did and no one told me. Even the professor gave up reading the damn things.

I had a bit of a blog meltdown after that one. Not pretty, kind of scary.

Go me.

So what do you guys, if anyone still reads this since I haven't updated in almost a month, think I should do with this thing?
