The Misadventures of José Faxner


Changes

Posted in Meta by Josef on the March 8th, 2007

I’ve been doing some thinking, and I’ve realised keeping this bilingual thing up is just too much work. I doubt many people read this English page anyway. I don’t really mind writing all that much, but writing a long rant only to have to translate really does take a lot of fun out of it. I’m sure the pressure of having to translate everything has held me back, so not feeling like I have to worry about it could probably help get my creative juices flowing. Or writing juices, or whatever.

I’m not sure what’s in store for the English part of this site. Granted, I haven’t really written much of anything in the past couple of months so I guess these aren’t really big “changes” after all. Maybe I’ll feel like writing in English some times, and do English-only posts, while the brunt will remain Swedish-only. Maybe I’ll take the time to translate some posts. Maybe I’ll only publish posts with very little text on both pages. Time will tell.

If the prospect of me not updating this page makes you feel completely devastated, make sure to let me know - I’m honestly not really aware whether I have many non-Swedish readers to begin with.

I suck at blogging

Posted in Rants by Josef on the March 7th, 2007

I’ve come to the realisation that I’m really, really bad at blogging. My life isn’t at all as boring as you might think based on how often I update this thing (IE never), I just have a tendency to procastrinate ad infinitum… and while I put off writing about stuff, of course other stuff happens (which I naturally don’t write about either). The whole thing culminates in me feeling monumental (if completely unjustified) pressure to write, and as a result end up not writing anything at all.

But since people have been pestering me about it, I’m gonna try to get my act together and change things. A lot has happened since the last time I wrote - the winter program here at the school has come and gone (rather uneventfully so), I’ve bought a PlayStation 3, Juuken Sentai Gekiranger has started on TV, and, eh, I bunch of other stuff, I’m sure. I’m gonna try to take on the list of things I should’ve written about ages ago but never did, and then try to actually blog for real, and actually WRITE now and then, instead of feeling bad about not doing it.

But, you know, can’t make any promises. >_>
