Blog about blogging (as if we need another of those)

When I wrote my previous blog, I had this notion in my head that it would be so easy to start semi-regular blogging again. "All I needed was 15-30 minutes," I told myself. "I've got that all the time."
It turns out I do, but what I do in that time is not usually blogging, as you may have noticed.
Instead, when I have a few extra minutes, I find myself grading a few papers for my teaching assistantship or calling mass comm. programs for my research assistantship or reading some article for my courses or emailing a professor or writing a blog post for one of my other blogs (that are required for class or my assistantship) or - if there's time - laundry or dishes.
So, I'll try to blog, but it may not as simple as I had imagined. I'll try.
Event of the Week:
Snow. Supposedly this weekend.

CAFMADFAM results

If you’re reading this, you probably know my blogging has pretty well stopped lately – mostly because I’ve been busy (surprise!), but that’s not a great excuse. Blogging doesn’t take long, especially if I tackle it with the right mindset.

So, I’m going to try to blog more often and with less perfectionism. I should be able to pound out a blog in 15 to 30 minutes if I take the proper tactics.

The worst part: I’ve been finished with September’s CAFMADFAM experiment for over two weeks now and have yet to report out the results.

So, for expediency’s sake, here they are in handy table form:

Event of the Week:

I’ve decided to start another personal project, in the vein of CAFMADFAM. This one is called TV with Breakfast; the goal is to watch a TV show with breakfast each morning, or at least some mornings. With fall premieres, I figure there is a lot of TV for me to watch. The most likely time for me to do that right now is with my morning bowl of cereal. Follow my progress on Twitter.
