Pic of the day: 10 or 20 years from now, what will have happened? If I can, I want to be here and tell you. But that won't happen if I have to read through 28 journal entries each day! It is hard enough with 8.

Short: The excuse

I think I have found out why I am lagging more and more behind on my journal. I mean, apart from all the fun things I try to cram into my day, such as playing The Sims 2 and reading One Cosmos. I've always done fun things, but I haven't always lagged like this.

The year-ago entries. There are 8 of them now. Reading them all takes as long as writing a new one, many a day. Just imagine if I live another decade (which I would greatly appreciate, by the way, and then some please). I would then have 18 journal entries to plow through before I could write another. I'd almost have to quit my job just to read my journal! Obviously we have to cut down on this at some point, so why not now? I should be able to see from the title whether I am about to repeat myself. (I used to do that with alarming regularity before I began re-reading my earlier entries. Back when there was just a link without a title, I often wrote about the exact same topic that I had done one or two years ago. My subconscious seems to enjoy doing this to me.)

So let us give it a try and see what happens!
