Twitter has kind of replaced blogging for me, at least for the past couple of months. It’s so easy to update Twitter every day or every other day, and then I feel like I’ve blogged, even though I haven’t. In an effort to remedy that, here is a real blog about a few things that I’ve been thinking/doing.

• The Wire – I’ve been watching this and I love it. Starting season 2 this week. It’s done by the same guy who did Homicide: Life on the Street (one of my favorite TV shows ever) and who wrote Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets (a book I’ve yet to read but will definitely read at some point).
• My bodhran – Practicing pretty much daily and really enjoying it. For Christmas, Ryan bought me a CD to practice with and my mom gave me an electronic metronome, both necessary things. I’m getting a bit better, and can play along to some songs, but basically I’m just having fun. It definitely helps me relieve stress.
• We went to see Avatar. I know I don’t need to link to any info, because I’m sure you’ve all seen it. Maybe you’ve even seen it twice! We want to to see it again, since we enjoyed the 3D effects so much.
• I went to Texas for my uncle’s funeral. It was good to be able to spend time with family. The sun was as I remembered it, huge and high in the sky, and the food was also as I remembered it: spicy!
