wow this is a dull blog

i find it strange that all of a sudden folks can get together with their laptops in a room and blog about the election results, and for some reason that's news? Jon Stewart made fun of CNN for spotlighting such a "blog" party - "oh sir, what are you blogging about and why should i care?"

strange. no one knows about this blog, so no one will read it. i guess i could tell people about it but why? it's not like i'm writing anything interesting. It's basically something to do while waiting for measurements to happen in lab. I guess what i should be doing is writing my thesis. or a paper, or doing something other than this. hmm... but this is so much easier I guess. I can just go on and on and write about with a stream of consciousness and really it doesn't have any bearing on my publishability or job outlook or anything like that. Well i guess that is unless i write about something that could come back to haunt me later. but who knows if what i write is true or not? let's play with the colored text. Oh boy, we're having fun now!!
