check box, day one

I survived my first day as a blogger.  Instead of feeling uncomfortable whenever I thought about it, I felt excited when I thought about going back to my blog.  That was a surprise.  True, I did tell my parents they couldn’t see it, but then I realized they were the only ones who would look at it in the first place.  So I told them the web address and hoped they wouldn’t judge me.  

I feel compelled to talk about what I did today; is that what bloggers do?  I spent a ridiculous amount of time on my computer, my thighs burned from the heat of my lap top, then I had lunch and went to the park with my mom to play some frisbee.  I kept forgetting that she doesn’t play ultimate and throwing the disc too hard (sorry about the bruises, mom!).  Whoops.  Then later I walked the dog, Blackie, with my dad.  Blackie is a dog my parents are fostering from the Humane Society.  He’s really sweet– you should adopt him!  He just gets freaked out around other dogs but they’re working on that.  It’s nice having a dog in the house.  

This evening we watched “The Lives of Others” which is about the GDR in the mid eighties and the secret police.  Really good.  But long.  I feel like all movies are long, at least the ones I’ve watched recently.  Benjamin Button.  Harry Potter.  Magnolia.  Revolutionary Road.  Milk.  The list could go on.  All really good movies though.  I think I’ll balance it out by catching up on Grey’s Anatomy Season 5.  I heard the season ended a few weeks ago, but I don’t have time to watch it at school– don’t tell me what happened!
