I need a vacation

I was going to write--in fact I DID write--a long post in response to an article written by Emily Gould about her experience as a mega media personal blogger (link via Madame Stallings). It spawned in me lots of thoughts and ideas about the nature of blogging and my own and other people's attachements to it. Then, I thought, WHO NEEDS IT?

I am going to take a blog break for ten days. Actually an entire media fast. I tell you who needs it: I NEED IT.

In the next week I hope to:

Bake.
Write.
Paint.
Play music.
Maybe do one thing on my 100 things to do before I die list.
Cook.
Walk.
Stare at the East River.
Lay down in the grass.
Talk to my cats entirely too much.
Meet new people.

See you when I return.

Love,
Summer
