losing my virginity

Just dipping my toe in the water to see how it works. Not yet ready for bed - Taxi Driver is on TV in the background - a young and skinny De Niro. Not feeling especially good about the world so maybe I can blog myself to sleep (blog as an abbreviation for bedlog?) - I guess it beats eating myself into a soporific state then waking up in the middle of the night with heartburn.Speaking of which, my current 4 - 5 am read is Black Dogs by Ian McEwan. Its promising but hasnt completely 'got going' yet - style wise its sort of 'english dispassionate' I suppose many of his are (Atonement and Chesil Beach spring to mind). I suppose a worthwhile objective as a blogger (if I cant think of anything worthwhile to write about) would be to stretch myself linguistically - I just googled to see if there was a noun for soporific and was offered the etymology, so I looked up etymology (the study of the history and development of words) and wondered what the etymology of etymology is - I bet someone has been here before! There must be some interesting examples of 'double wording' - the meaning of meaning and the opposite of opposite are ones that spring to mind. Taxi Driver has finished so onto 8 out of 10 cats - like Jimmy Carr's wicked uberbitchy humour - if he writes it - does he wear eyeliner?

Thats enough for tonight - technical incompetence may mean that this never sees the light of day anyway.
