The Bangus Ultimatum

So yesterday I discovered that some of my classmates use their Starbucks planner not to actually get some uh, planning done, but as a quick and easy diary. It is, after all, important to keep a journal of your daily activities, just in case the police drag you off to some gulag and start questioning you about where you were and what you were doing during so and so. (Hence, when those pigfucker police have you in a dimly-lit room and start chocking you with a wet towel, you can oh so casually say that yes, your Starbucks planner says you were in the harbour taking in a shipment of drugs)

When told that I should get one of these beautifuly-bound acid-free notebooks, I dismissed them with a wave and said “Oh, I’ve got a blog and everything,” and left it at that. Then I realized that I hardly ever blog about how my days go and I hardly ever remember what I’ve done. Maybe I did fence drugs. Maybe I did murder someone yesterday. I don’t know, perhaps I should be writing stuff down!

I guess the reason why I hardly ever write about days is that my life is pretty linear (boring), until recently. A theoretical entry from two months back would probably go:

Dear Diary,

Read cases today. Tried talking to crush. No dice. Am still such a geek. Worked on random stuff for JJ. Surfed the net. Upgraded to the latest greatest Wordpress. Had ramen for dinner. Yummy!

See?

Then again, it’d still be nice to account for days, if only to get my blogging groove on (and yes, get a better idea what is it I’ve been doing). I’m wondering how I’m supposed to go about this now. Should I get a livejournal now? A sideblog? Slap it onto the main continuity as protected posts?
