Oh hi

Remember me? It's been some time. I abandoned this blog after I got my own domain & started writing there. But soon I started feeling very self-conscious about my posts over there, paralyzingly so. I'm not sure why, I think it has something to do with the fact that the domain name is my own name, and I felt like each post was presenting me to the world. That, and I didn't update that often, so each post was up for so long that I was feeling the pressure of making it good enough to withstand the test of time. And in internet time, a month is forever. So I redesigned my site into more of a personal portal, with links to my various internet presences--my pages on Flickr, Last.fm, etc. I only wrote on my LJ, and not that often.

So yesterday something possessed me to check out my old blog here, and I was surprised by how relaxed I sounded in those old posts--a quality that was certainly missing from my recent writing. I decided to revive this, because I think it's a good exercise for me to write more often, even if it's about everyday stuff like movies and music.
