Day: December 29, 2005

There’s precious little to blog about. The week between Christmas and New Years day is filled with more fabricated news than any other week of the year. There’s also plenty of ‘top list of 2005’ like news, which is always boring. Weird news, like the wildfires in Oklahoma, which seem pretty strange to me (unless you’re from that area and are used to these hitting around this time of year). What does seem common is winter storms in Colorado. I mean really, it’s high up, it’s cold, and it snows. But, this week, it’s news. They’re still flogging the “iPod is bad for your ears” news. Oh yeah, and there’s Nick and Jessica news, but who cares about that?

See what I mean? Nothing to blog about.

“When you visit another country, it’s hard to get a feel for what it’s actually like until you leave your hotel room, go for a walk, take a look around, and hang out while soaking it in. Not so in Libya. All you have to do there is show up. It will impose itself on you at once.”

I’ve enjoyed reading Michael’s blog over the past year. His photography is first rate. Go check him out.
