oh bloglet! how I have left you, neglected, unattended to. Me and 2.5 million teenie boppers who thought we could handle the day to day pressures and responsibilities of blogging along with work, the dishes, recycling and the rigors of a phd program. How foolish we were! How naive! The appeal was tremendous. My very own blog! How cool is that? And yet, no body warned me...how would I ever find the time to keep up. It's not just the entries, no, it is the news, the other bloggers you are committed to reading...the endless pressure to be cute, to be pithy, to be wise, engaging...I cracked. What can I say? The pressure got to me.
I am deeply sorry to have been so cold, so heartless....I will try to take better care of you and consequently me, in the days and weeks to come.
here's to a consistently more regular relationship in the new year...to fun and folly, to a place to blow off steam and cease the seriousness of the academic pursuits.
