tales of an ordinary girl

I've been annoyingly sick since I've returned from Dragon Con. My energy is sapped and I feel like sleeping most of the time. I've developed this habit of taking a nap when I get home from work and then not being able to sleep later in the evening when I need to go to sleep. As soon as I get up from bed though I find myself gravitating to the couch and falling asleep, whether I turn on the TV or grab a book.

Anyway, I haven't disappeared. I've been trying to catch up on reading everyone's blogs and today I finally caught up. I've also been reading and thinking about what I'm going to write about Julian. I know what I want to say, but I haven't organized my thoughts into a central theme. Most likely I'll end up starting to write and letting my thoughts all fall out on the screen and then organizing them before I post.. which may mean that they're really not very organized.

Recently I've added some blogs to my blogroll. I've never thought of my list of links officially as a blogroll. For me it's a place to put blogs so that I can find them when I want to read them. But since I started using a reader, I don't use links much. But I suppose I'm also sharing the blogs I've found since I put them up there for everyone to see.

In any case, I've never posted when I added blogs to my blogroll, but I like the idea of doing it. So here are some blogs that I've added recently.

Higgaion, a blog written by Christopher Heard at Abilene Christian University. He writes a lot about Biblical history, but also about movies, social issues, family, and computers and software. Most of all he's an intelligent, well-thought writer.

The Primate Diaries, a blog by Eric Michael Johnson. He writes about primates, of course, but also about evolution, sociology, and psychology in general.

Evolutionary Middleman, a blog by John, a fellow member of the Nonbelieving Literati, a variety of topics from politics to atheism to science.

Travel Chile, a blog resource for foreigners in Chile written by fellow blogger mamacita chilena. In addition to the stunning pictures she gives advice to tourists, students, and others relocating to Chile.

There are many more. I've come across many as a result of Paul over at Cafe Philos. Thanks, Paul! All I can say is thanks everyone for making my day interesting and giving me a lot to think about.

I'm hoping to post more reviews soon. I'm really behind on movie reviews. I'm thinking of posting a review a day starting next week until I've caught up. I'll to see how much energy I have.
