I don’t have a lot of rules about blogging, but there is one guideline that I try to follow pretty rigorously. I don’t do stupid “the weather was so nice today so I went to the park and I saw a bunny and a puppy and a squirrel and they were snuggling and eating peanuts and it was the cutest day ever” posts. That shit works just fine in your diary by flashlight after Mom and Dad are passed out in the living room asleep, or between Harry Potter slashfic posts on Livejournal. Around here, we blog like we mean it.

That said, I’m going to take my one guideline out for a walk in the woods, hit it with an axe handle and leave it gagged and tied to a tree overnight. Because the weather was amazing yesterday. I got out in it for a couple of hours, and by some miraculous coincidence, I remembered my camera. Praise astronauts!
