During my little in-house stay here (having been quarantined due to Swine Flu) I have been watching quite a few movies and catching up on some things I've wanted to see. One of these was the much-discussed Julie & Julia.
The plot line focuses around the intertwined stories of Julia Child, famous chef, and Julie Powell, failed author. Julie spends a year of her life cooking through Julia's cookbook and blogging about her adventures.
Though I didn't fall in love with the movie, as so many people seem to have done, it did make me think that maybe there ought to be some sort of purpose for my blog. I did start the blog with the intention of tracking down my changing thoughts while in college, and maybe that is some sort of a goal. But aimless talk does seem rather selfish, doesn't it? Maybe if I were chronicling something or accomplishing a goal it would seem a little less egotistical.
So I am asking any and all readers, although it does seem like maybe my Dad is the only who reads this (love you!), to suggest some sort of goal for me to work on. Obviously I can't cook-- unless you know of a made-for-microwave cookbook!! So comment away with those suggestions!

Love you too, Princess! I don't know if this is what you mean, but I'd really like to read what you have to say about the economy, America and the future from your prospective. You are a very talented writer, and I always enjoy talking politics, economics, etc., with you. I'd love to know what you think about the challenges you and your peers face in today's economy. I'd also love to know how you think your generation will deal with the bills that my generation is sticking you with.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dad, that sounds like a pretty good goal.
