How long ago did I stop posting content?

It occurs to me that I haven't actually posted any real content here for a while. It's been all work-garden-work-work-whatever DVD I'm watching-work-work-work and three-line entries. It seems to me that back in the day I used to write about more important things, or at least that I used to do a fair bit more thinking. Maybe my brain is atrophying, or channeling all its energy into stuff that isn't LJ.

Anyway, I can't exactly apologize for that, but I do regret not being a more interesting blogger/poster/whatever.

I'm not sure I even have the mental energy to post proper content with critical thought. I think my poor reading public will have to put up with the same sort of blather that I've been putting out here for months.

You have posted lovely, entertaining letters from your mum.

Your post got me thinking. Part of what I like about LJ is keeping up on what my friends are doing. It reminds me of village gossip. There's two main kinds of gossip: interested-in-people-gossip and mean-gossip. The vast majority of village gossip is the first kind.

LJ is a lot like interested-in-people-gossip. It is even better, because it's not behind anyones back. Of course the other stuff happens on LJ too, but not on my friends page.

Yeah, I love the keeping-up-with-people-gossip aspect of LJ. It's just that occasionally I feel bad about imposing my grocery lists and whining about overtime on my poor beleaguered flist. ;)
