Today seems a good day to begin, so let us begin. I was considering saying something like 'I will post something every day on this blog', but for someone as inconsistent as I this would be foolish, so let's say this: I will post at least twice a month. Just so.

Today was divided between the useful and the pointless, as so many days like it are, though perhaps there is a general trend towards more usefulness in the making. Hopefully, a similar trend in not blaming myself for the not-so-useful times will appear, because guilt is a most crippling emotion.

When I am busy, it is mostly with design, learning Spanish or downloading in a mildly obsessive manner. This week I have done a flyer for my friend Karen - oh what the hell, let's have another picture, this flyer:

and one for an upcoming meeting to discuss some of the ideas around the Occupy movement. I'll post that one later as it's not finalised yet. With any luck it'll be something with some good community involvement - the meeting, that is - there must be a fair number of people who either wish to discuss the concept or are curious enough to show up, so it's just a matter of getting the word out. Hence the flyer.

As for Spanish, estoy apprendiendo. Having hit the intermediate plateau it feels somewhat uphill right now, and I've realised how much I don't know (one feature of knowledge that spans across every area I've encountered - the more you learn, the more you realise you have to learn). Guatemala is in two months, and having promised myself to be sort of fluent by the time I arrive, the time is now. Tonight was The Lion King (El Rey Leon), and you may be pleased to know hakuna matata remains entertaining in Spanish.

Now it's 4 in the morning and my sleep patterns are slipping enough as it is, so to the horizontal I go. More soon folks.
