Phil's G.I. Joe Page


Wait... you're actually reading this?!

More than halfway through the month, and I'm updating this page incredibly slowly.

I figured it was high time I updated my blog book. I'm certain I've mentioned it before, but it's been a while, so it bears repeating. I print off my blog post and any comments and put them into a binder which I've just this second called my blog book. This way I have a hard copy of my blog to keep as a sort of diary for reading when offline. During college I tried printing the previous month's post the instant they disappeared from the main page. Of course, I would procrastinate on this from time to time and now I find I haven't updated the book since August 2005. Time to put my printer through the rounds.

Opening up the book, I noticed once again that the first page is tearing through its punched holes. I figured today was as good as any to put all the pages into plastic protectors, so I spent some time doing that. Looking through my old posts again really got me thinking about these past few years. When I started, it seemed like just about half the people I knew kept some kind of blog. I find posts with more than one comment, sometimes becoming downright conversations. I found out I had a board game I'd completely forgotten about. I even saw comments from people I talked to all the time, but now never see online. Roommates I'd never talk to again. References to conversations I've completely forgotten, making the references themselves nonsensical. Kinda nostalgic and depressing all at the same time.
