Allow me to introduce myself

Topping my list of things to do today: Create blog. Check.

This isn't my first blog. I had to create a blog for what I thougtht would be a dreadful class that I took during my first year of a masters degree at Ryerson - Design for Interactive Media. We ended up covering some pretty cool topics and I started to embrace the courses's blogging component as an interesting way to engage with the material and share thoughts/ideas with classmates and my professor. The blog was pretty much defunct, though, once the class was over and my summer holidays began.

Last summer, I took another stab at blogging. This blog included musings on the joys and agonies of unemployment, how the scorching, mid-afternoon sun made breathing impossible in my non-air conditioned apartment and highlights from a New York Times article about an insightful priest with advice for choosing Mr. Right. I didn't tell anyone that I created it, though, so no one knew that it existed. Go figure.

So now I'm taking the plunge: I'm creating a blog and actually telling people about it!

Now that I can scratch this off my list, I am moving on to the second item of the day: Seek strategies for overcoming severe addiction to Diet Coke.

I kinda fell of the wagon again and started drinking too much low-calorie, caffeinated soda (like, 3 cans a day sometimes). Much like Oprah, I find myself screaming: "How did I let this happen again?"!
