Excuse me, but I seem to have lost my blogging mojo.

I think most bloggers can relate to this- certain weeks or months just provide really good content, or some days you’re just more excited to blog than others. And then sometimes, life takes over and your time at the computer takes a backseat. That’s kind of what’s happened to me.

Up until this summer, I didn’t have a ton of timed commitments and could basically devote as much free time as I wanted to blogging. (College life is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?) When I started school in July, I didn’t really realize how much it would start to take over my life. Beyond the time I actually spend there, there’s travel time, homework, Friday Night Dinners, stewarding hours…don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining! I’m enjoying everything that I learn, and I know that most people have to deal with the same sort of schedule in a 9 to 5 job. I guess I’m just adjusting to this sort of schedule, though in the meantime, it’s become more difficult to fit in blogging and have a life, and the latter is always more important.

So I just wanted to let you all know that if I’m not commenting or tweeting or posting as often, no worries- I’m still reading all the posts in my reader, and I still look forward to the time I do have to sit down and write good content. I’m sure the mojo will be back eventually, but until then, thanks for sticking around :)

In other news, last night I went to see the movie Drive with my friend Jillian. Ryan Gosling looking all brooding and melancholy? Sign me up.

I’d heard the movie was violent, so I expected it to be in a car-chase-with-guns sort of way. A Fast and the Furious on steroids, if you will. Um, not so much. The movie started of slow but with a pretty good storyline, and then in five minutes went into crazy-gore mode, with people getting graphically shot in the head and beaten with hammers. I actually ended up leaving the theater before the end of the movie because I couldn’t handle it…and this comes from someone who loves movies like The Departed and The Boondock Saints. If you have a strong stomach I think it was still a good movie with an interesting plot (I actually sat in the lobby and looked the synopsis up on my iPhone so I could find out what happened), but be forewarned…if you’re seeing this solely for Ryan Gosling looking hot you’ll likely be disappointed. And majorly grossed out.

Random post this morning, huh? I’m off to school- have a good one!

Bloggers: What do you do when you’ve lost your “blogging mojo?” How do you get it back? And what’s the last movie you saw in theaters? Do you like violent movies?
