Wow, I've been a very deadbeat blogger. I know, I know. The most important thing you're meant to do as a blogger is update it regularly. It's the only way to maintain a loyal readership and eventually land that multimillion dollar book deal.
I don't know what happened, there. In my defense, October and November have been sort of mayhem-ic... We went to Italy, Paris, Vienna and Berlin; had three different sets of visitors; I finished the rough draft of my thesis (402 pages, and when I handed the brick to my supervisor the FIRST thing he said was, "looks a little short" -- He's kukoo krazy -- like does he REALLY want me to start padding the thing, because I can. I can start putting in long digressive sentences that go on and on and say very little of substance; I can throw semi-colons around and just keep babbling about nothing important; I can do all of that; I really really really can); I also wrote a chapter for a book and found time to work on the old backhand and take some French classes -- mais oui, I did a presentation on how much I like Hercule Poirot -- my favourite Belgian!
Huh, when I put all of that down on paper (so to speak) it looks pretty substantial and I feel less defensive about my failure to blog. Anyway, I'm back in the blogging saddle... So check back in the next few days, because I really will put something new up. Really, really.

hello,
this is monsieur your superviseur and I am writing to say that yes, I would appreciate some more digressive tangential and off-topic scribblings in your nobody-will-read-me thesis so that I may make your life a living, how do you say? enfer?
oh, and could you also translate and edit a foreign text for me within the week? I do have your very short thesis in my hands.....
I just figured it was the beer hangover. And Hercule Poirot is my favourite Belgian too! (only, I keep thinking he's French). Just read "Death on the Nile" recently, by coincidence.
