Famous people blogging

Whenever I see something in the news about people posting stuff "in public," or even keeping a diary, I think *what* were they thinking? And it seems like most of us (even the slackers) have plenty to do without throwing more words out there. Yet the need to be heard (or maybe to talk to ourselves without *actually* being heard) is clearly strong. Why aren't we writing thank-you notes or books or other genres that might make us mom-points or money?

I dunno. Sounds like fun though, especially after being home sick for 5 days. I'm a little hoarse from talking to just the dogs (and of course myself), and I think I've gone as far as I can go (level 16) on Pac the Man. I'm midway through WHAT ARE OLD PEOPLE FOR and the July issue of DWELL.

The need to be heard -- and shared. You've got it.
