Blogging Blues
I really should write something. I seem to be going through a period of blogging burnout, which I'm sure will pass. This is the first time I have gone two consecutive days without posting (if you don't count periods of travel and/or finals). I'm also a bit behind on my reading. Bakerina recently left her blog open to guest bloggers when she went on vacation in Scotland. Not only have I not contributed an entry, as I intended, but I haven't even gotten around to catching up on what the other contributors have posted (except, of course, for this entry). Now I've heard through the grapevine that she's already back. Oh well, maybe next time.
I've recently discovered the wonders of torrents. I installed bittorrent several weeks ago in the hopes of being able to download Brazilian programming, especially novelas, but it turns out that Brazilians mostly use torrents for downloading American programs. It took me awhile before I found anything that interested me, and then I discovered I could use it for getting episodes of the new Dr. Who, which, as far as I know, are only airing in the UK. The writing is quite impressive, by the way, and, if you liked the original 26-year series, you should definitely check out Dr. number 9. (Yes, that silly attempt on Fox several years back is apparently cannon, and a complete waste of a regeneration cycle if you ask me.)
Tomorrow it's back to my stained glass Hello Kitty.
Oh, now, dear, please don't feel bad. It will take me a few days to get my game face back, and I'm not planning on rescinding guestblogger privileges, so if you still want to post, you certainly may. But if you need a break from writing, no worries. Just knowing that you're out there, keeping tags on eggs-&-boobies sightings, makes me happy. ;)

I've been in blogging funks before. They come and they go. My motto was once "When it doubt, make fun of Cheeseburger." Then I graduated and stopped seeing him for a long while. That's why I now have Peppy the Filler Doodle Whale-in-a-Can.
You just need to find your whale-in-a-can.

I had a question for you but you've deleted your "contact me" link. I've just blogged after about a 3 month silence - don't leave it too long to post - we'd miss you if you did.

Bakerina, thanks. I'll probably post something on your blog in the next few days. It's bound to be lame, but it's the thought that counts, right?
Will, I really should try that. I've posted hundreds of entries, but not once did I ever make fun of Cheeseburger. Now that will change. (Just kidding.)
Jenny, it's still tvindy[AT]oddpost[DOT]com. I noticed your absence and am glad you're back.

I think "tis the season" for a blogging dry spell. I'm having one too. Hard to get around to read my faves and to write at all. But like Jenny says, don't go too long!

That's the problem with a dull yet hectic life. I have no time for blogging and nothing to say. I think I'm recovering, though.
