I haven't been able to blog lately (at least not properly) due to lack of time.  And whenever I was writing, it was either for a paper or a newspaper article.  I still have assignments waiting to be drummed out, but for the mean time I shall indulge myself.  Here's what's happened/crossed my mind lately:

Just in case anyone has been tuning in, I'm really sorry that I've been neglecting this blog lately. I've been busy. Not with froth (see previous entries) but with stuff I've been required (and not necessarily thrilled) to do. So here are some thought bullets to unwind ( Read more... )
