A break

So I have just spent the morning writing up a long journal entry about how yesterday sucked because technical difficulties with my computer kept me from finishing a non-essential project, leading to my having wasted the day. I have, of course, wasted this morning, too, because the same problem means I can't actually post that entry.

I will probably find a way to put that up, not that it really matters. But even yesterday I was thinking to myself, you know, self, you're really not getting a damn thing done on your dissertation; just reading other people's journal entries takes hours a day, much less contributing yourself to that learned discourse with the sparkling wit and cleverness required.

This is all by way of saying that I won't be writing much in this thing, or reading what you have written, for the foreseeable future, until I am more satisfied with the progress of my real work. If you need to reach me, there's the e-mail address on my info page.

Happy holidays.
