Here’s a little question I have for other bloggers.

Do you live your life so that you can blog about it?

In your everyday life, do things happen and the first thing that comes to your mind is, “Oh, I’ve got to blog about that!”

I’m recovering from my surgery and have had romantic ideas about what a recovery would be like. And some of my notions of activities revolve around things that I would like to tell people I did while recovering.

Witness: Russ has been coming over to keep me company. He reads to me. Our primary book at the moment is The Loved One by Evelyn Waugh. It’s a satiric novel about the Los Angeles funeral industry (Forest Lawn) that includes a few biting indictments of the entertainment industry and perhaps how we regard our pets. Anyway, not satisfied with just reading this novel, I’ve decided he should read to me on the grounds of Forest Lawn in Glendale.

Do I do that because I actually enjoy it, or because I want you to read that I did it and have you think something in particular about me and what kind of person would engage in such an activity?

I think I do it because I enjoy it. I’m not one for doing things I regard as a chore. I guess I blog about it to try to create that sort of persona that I’d like you think I actually am. Part of creating the essential things to know about Cybele.
