Abanding Ship?

I've had plenty of random thoughts lately. Time for a hit list. (Disclaimer: some material may not be suitable for you... yes, you.)

• Blogger has been disappointing me lately. I've always stuck with Blogger for it its minimalist design, ad-free environment, and fairly-straightforward Dashboard front-end. I've liked it more recently because it's owned by Google - a company that I already have much vested in (school work, GMail, Docs, etc.). Unfortunately, I've discovered the professional trimmings and more advanced options of Wordpress to be insanely tantalizing for my maturing writing tastes. Could a defection be on the horizon?

• Why do some people who say they never want to talk to me again visit my blog every day of the week, usually two or three times a day?

• I'm finding myself in a hard place. I want lots of nice things. The problem? I can financially afford them. I'm just not sure if I should, given that Christmas is just around the corner (already spent a boatload for some gifts). Then again, selfishness isn't generally my style, and with my commitment to be less selfish (a month-old pledge that's paying off very well!), I think I'll hold off and put my money to better uses.

• I overslept like a bitch this morning, missing my first CS class (oops... although not a terribly-big deal), but I'm spending my afternoon catching up on teaching myself CSS, JavaScript, and PHP.

With that, I'm out.
