Thursday Update

I'm not doing so well with blogging regularly, am I?

I try, I try. Or I don't try enough. Ah, story of my life.

I've been under the weather. Caught a horrific cold/ cough/ sore throat/ fever (I suppose it would have been more succinct to just say flu, I suppose, but that conjures up images nowadays of H1N1 and all that jazz). I'm over the worst of it now, I think, though I am still phlegmatic as hell. Yes, you'll know where I have been if you check the waste paper baskets and find them full of used tissues displaying copious amounts of green and yellow mucus.

And now I have lost my only reader? Or attracted a new teenage fan crowd, quite possibly. But seriously I cannot be the only person who blows his nose and immediately inspects the product. Although perhaps sophisticated and serious bloggers don't blog about such stuff?

Ah, this is all taking a turn for the worse. This is a problem with blogging perhaps -- not enough self-editing? Like right now I could go back and erase all that I have typed and start over again. But instead I'll talk about doing that, all the while leaving the original content for you to read. Instead, dear reader, use your imagination and conjure up a world in which the mucus paragraphs did not exist, as though I had never typed them! There you go, now was that so hard?

I have a problem getting out of bed in the morning. It's not really a problem waking up. That part is fine. But right after that I pop open my laptop, check my e-mail, surf the web for international law news, then regular news, then I read my favourite blogs, check the weather, listen to a song or two on myspace or itunes store, contemplate whether or not to buy a new song, download it, listen to it on repeat a couple of times to get it into my system . . . oh, you get the picture.

Which means I am always late to work.

Bad Caveboy.
