Third Time's The Charm

So, here is my third attempt to start a blog.  From my point of view especially, it's easy to see how the first two attempts failed; long story short, my muse was emotionally unavailable.  I was determined not to turn this space into a Livejournal-style rant box where each and every post consisted of me complaining how difficult my current situation was, and as a result, I decided not to post at all.

Since I've scrambled back from that brink, I feel like now is the apt time to give this another go.  At the moment, I am no longer besieged by a terrible job (I'm not besieged by any job, actually, but I'm looking to change that) and am slowly warming back up to doing art more and more regularly.  While I doubt this is going to shift into an art-centric blog, I'll post a few of the things I make, just for fun.

What am I going to post here instead of rants?  Stories about travel, drawing, writing, cooking, languages, history, and cartoons, just to list a few possible topics.  I'm making it my personal goal to write about something at least once a week.  I hope this third venture into writing will end up more successful than my last two.  Here goes nothing.

A short note about the title: I am infamous in my family for not going anywhere (be it China or the restaurant down the street) without a notebook and pencil for drawing and writing purposes.  When I'm looking to buy a new bag, my first litmus test is whether or not I can fit these items in, and everything else comes second to that result.
