Desperately seeking SOMETHING

OK, maybe I’m not really desperate.  But that sounds so much more dramatic and compelling than “Dilettante Will Dabble”, doesn’t it?  

Part of my ever-so-courageous new endeavor is that I’m actually telling other people about it.  That’s for accountability.  Now I actually have to DO something or I will look like a complete jerk, which is different from simply making a fool of myself.  That doesn’t seem to scare me.

Of course, I still want to become good, nay, excellent at something creative.  Remember, excellence is the standard!  I just read Matt Walsh’s hilariously scathing review of the movie “Les Miserables”. 

Les Miserables Taught Me How to Hate Again.

Holy cow, holy mackerel, holy moly – by all that’s holy, I would give anything to write like that!  Well, no; I would have to draw the line at injuring small animals or selling my soul to the devil.  Still.  A level of entertainment worthy of my aspirations – making people clutch their sides in laughter while reading my blog out loud to others in the room.

I’ve promised myself multiple adventures as I try different media of creative and artistic expression!  My boss has offered to make that a Lucy-and-Ethel experience if I want to try pottery-making (Yes! I do!), because she wants a big new serving bowl.  Something tells me it won’t be that easy to produce beautiful, table-ready crockery, but I’m ready to get up close and personal with potter’s wheel and clay!

It’s sure to stimulate that dormant creative place in my brain.  Gonna shock myself awake!
