I have not written in here for ages, and yesterday came back to reading posts to retrace people's stories over the past months (years), something I've neglected and realized I missed rather. Could this be a start in a return to a less crazed phase? Let's hope. Though not yet today, or tomorrow or Friday, for that matter. Will have to get ( Read more... )

Hm, I believe I just managed to post an old draft. Anyhow, I should feel inspired to write more: I am in Niamey, Niger, the last stop of a - well, not long, but it seems that way - trip in West Africa. My first time here: amazing. Not so amazing the fact that I've not had a moment to do any wandering around of my own, and if I do some this ( Read more... )

The secret of longevity that it offers is to sit in one place, preferably under a layer of sand, and do nothing. “It’s a very boring lifestyle, really,” Mr. Emmett said.

This is an entry at gunpoint, it seems. I've been horridly absent, and the threat is fully justified. I am tired, tired, tired at the moment, rushing between Rome and my new home in Brussels, not getting quite enough sleep for days on end. Lots of catching up, but at a later date. Just to say Rome is lovely, especially early in the morning ( Read more... )

That is what I've been doing on lj. Lurking. I read other people's posts, and just can't be bothered to write any of my own. But I'm ending that right now, for whatever mysterious reason. Well, for one, I actually have something to say, though it being so much past my regular bedtime (or at any rate, a few minutes), I'd probably do better ( Read more... )

I realize I've not posted in months. Yet I continue to read other people's postings, and enjoy them tremendously. Maybe that explains the lack of posting on my side - not much to report about. But it does seem rather uneven ( Read more... )
