Great line from a great book. Actually if you count each part of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as a separate book, that line is in fact the title of a great book.
It is also, as it turns out, not a bad parting shot as I move from one employment opportunity to another.
I don't often post about doings in my own life anymore; I used to use this blog to give voice to some of the more important things that were going on in my life, maybe to help me understand them, maybe to help solidify my own feelings about those events. In particular I posted a great deal in the months that led up to the birth of my daughter.
Now more often I find myself making observations about things I read about, movies I see, videogames I play, etc. From my view in the cheap seats, its all good content, just little substance.
At least there's still the monthly letter to my little girl.
I think in the future I'll try to post more often about what's going on in my life, if for nothing else than to at least keep my other personalities updated on what I'm up to. (Assuming they read my blog)
To that end, I recently walked away from my cushy low paying stay-at-home job to take a real job amongst real people. While the thought of working with real live people again daunts me a little (I've been working from my home for the last two years) along with the major separation anxiety I’m likely to go through by being away from my wife and daughter for extended periods of time, I am really looking forward to the change of pace.
I fully believe that life can get a little stale when you’re not challenged enough, and as enjoyable as my life is right now, I think I could use a new challenge.

A great movie too, I only saw it a few weeks ago… shame on me!
I think that posting about your interests is not better or worst than posting about your life or reflections on the daily happenings, the two can and should coexist. As you said, writing about something helps us understanding and solidifying our feelings about it.
Me I started blogging partially to improve my English and second to learn about what I do and my own interests look at myself. I don’t think those are “little substance”, they’re just different.
Good luck and hope you find many challenges not only at job :)
Regarding you question: “Couldn't everyone?”, the answer is NO, most people like their little stale life and absolutely no challenge! Sad true...
Thanks for the good wishes Elektra.
And not to worry, I am not capable of withholding my opinions very well, so we'll go back to the meandering commentary on things I come across shortly.
