Ok, I've decided that blogging is a good thing--it's good for me. And unlike most good-for-you things, it's not unpleasant. So I'm here and now making a formal recommitment to blogging. Here are some possible topics that I could pursue in the near future. I welcome any feedback or preferences, if any of these sound more fun than any others.
1. A review of the Sweet Valley High series of books. I really, really loved SVH when I was about 12, and recently I bought a ton of them for cheap on eBay. So if anyone's interested, I'd be happy to contribute my thoughts about SVH.
2. A review / analysis / thoughts about the British murder mysteries I've been consuming and the BBC / PBS adaptations of said mysteries. This is my new pet project.
3. A discussion of the new direction of the program formerly known as Masterpiece Theatre. It's just Masterpiece now. And they've recently run adaptations of Jane Austen, a perennial favourite. Gillian Anderson is the new host, btw.
4. Updates on my dogs, especially Baby Fenway. He couldn't be any cuter. Of course, Fenway related posts could be written in the first person, in Fenway's own voice. I'm happy to turn the laptop over to him.
5. Food
6. DVDs
I think that pretty much covers my options, at least as I see them now.
Oh, here we go
7 and 8. Reviews / discussion of the Little House on the Prairie TV series or of 7th Heaven, both of which run daily on the Hallmark channel. 7th Heaven is particularly cheezy but intriguing at the same time.
Feel free to comment or to simply take the poll at the left. I do realize that the poll isn't displaying very nicely--oh well!

Wow, it pretty much all sounds good. Look, it's your blog. Do what you want. That said, I'd skip the reviews of Hallmark shows. My old blog, "Today on Matlock and Magnum P.I." was a dead end.
As a trivia note, the guy who wrote and sings the theme to Seventh Heaven, Steve Plunkett, used to be the singer in the hair-metal band Autograph. No, not the Russian guys.
Yeah, the Jane Austen adaptations on Masterpiece were uneven, but Pride and Prejudice was a hoot. Definitely review worthy.
I'm queuing up all the new Austen "Masterpiece(s)" in Netflix, but Sense and Sensibility seems to be a "long, long wait." Mon dieu. I guess I'll be learning patience, eh? One more life lesson in a string of same.
What new murder mystery series are you watching? We just finished the first season of "Picket Fences" (if I spell that with 2 t's -- Pickett -- does that mean we're going to dance to the soul of Wilson P?)(oh, I'm dating myself again, huh).
My latest foray into Netflix also includes Season 8 of ER (I sooo can't believe I've watched 7 seasons so far... sick, huh?) (oh, nice pun...get it? ER/Sick?). Geoff says I need to start in on 30 Rock, because it does...rock. And "The Office," to which he is completely addicted.
What with your listings and his, I can see what I'll be doing in my free time, should I have any, once the lessons from The Artist's Way kick in and I become a world famous trashy novelist. One can hope.
