    I really like the format. I’ve been labeling them vignettes, as they are small snatches of scene I encounter and think notable.

    I plan to keep posting them. Over the past few months, I would find myself sitting on the train and would notice something odd about someone or something and think, I should blog about that. So I finally did. ;)

    I think I like them for the same reason I liked Haiku initially, and why I like writing English Haiku (short 4 line poems that capture a scene like haiku does), as well as why photography appeals to me. They all have the effect of freezing in time a moment or feeling or both. The moments are often dissassociated with the curcumstances that caused them, and are thus somewhat mobile. You don’t have to delve deep to enjoy them, though you could if you wanted to. And it has the added benefit of cumulatively painting a picture of the kind of diversity of human life and experience that you encounter in the process of living.
