A brief return to last summer

Jump to Comments

I’m slightly concerned about my return to blogging. It’s been hardly half a week and I’m already drawing blanks. I would like to blog about the first day of my internship, but I’m not entirely sure that’s a wise decision. I’ll ask about it tomorrow.

Until then, I did find the following little gem in my blog drafts. It was a short post that I wrote last summer when I stayed in Pullman and worked at Ferdinand’s Ice Cream Shoppe. I don’t remember why I didn’t publish it. I guess I wasn’t very happy with its tone. Maybe I thought it was too short. But right now, I’m not feeling so picky.

Sometime in May or June 2008 …

I saw Aron Baynes walking by Bohler Gym. He is still tall.

On my way to work one morning, I passed a robin that was trying to hop away from me. Apparently it was too fat to fly.

A little girl trailed behind me yesterday as I was cleaning Ferdinand’s observation room. She wanted to show me how she could pull a penny out of her ear. I asked her if she had any quarters in there. She didn’t.

  • Did you just blog old Tweets? ‘Cuz it sure seems like it.

      Twitter wasn’t even a sparkle in my eye last summer, though you make a good point. This post would probaly have been better suited to that medium.

  • My rule of thumb for anxiety-free blogging: Don’t write anything you wouldn’t want to explain in a job interview or to your grandma.
