Now What?

The fast-growing and high-fashion it-thing of the world wide web: the "blog" is up for debate. And after participating in the blog craze I'm not yet convinced of its rightful place in "legitimate media" or even for practical reasoning for its place anywhere at all. On a bad day, I still refer to it as glorified journalling by everyone and their dog (about--unfortunately--everyone and their dog). And on the best of days, I suppose I can admit there are (minimal) uses for the blog, and maybe even one or two practical ones.

But what about this one? To continue tmmindseye? Or close its lid forever? Like I said, I'm not convinced either way. But upon urgings from Robyn--a blogger herself and self-professed reader of this blog--I will continue blogging (for now).

What to blog?

Undecided. I am considering a "Fat Blog," about the mighty uphill battle to a skinnier me after the pleasantly plumper me returned from England to a less than warm welcome (but only the plumped parts, all else was welcome).

Robyn figures it would be entertaining. I know it would be entertaining (we all relish each other's pain, don't we), I've just yet committed to airing such delicate laundry of my own as weight and self-image for all to inspect.

More to come--though Kirstie Ally may have a stronghold on the confessions-of-a-fat-girl market. And open to suggestions.
