This is just to say

by Nicolette Bethel on March 27, 2010

that I have been silent for the past couple of weeks largely because, well, I have a job and commitments and the kinds of things I want to write on this blog take Time and Effort and Thought.

And I’ve got myself in well-justified trouble by posting off the top of my head recently. By doing what? Posting half-digested half-rumours on a fellow blogger’s blog.

Specifically that Pierre Dupuch had the same issues with citizenship as Ryan Pinder (on the basis of the fact that they both have American mothers) but served in the Cabinet nevertheless. I have been roundly criticized and thoroughly corrected on that score!

So as a result I have determined to think before I write. Which means that you will not hear from me in any serious capacity unless I have had the time to do my research and blog responsibly. Which means in turn that you will probably have to wait till after April 19 for that — April 16 being the end of the semester.

In the meantime, though, I think I’ll be vaguely frivolous and post some (very old) poems for general comment, if people who read this blog are so inclined. If you’re not, I’ll cease and desist.

But in the meantime, y’all, content yourselves with my weekly twitter digest.

Cheers.

I feel for you in so many ways and this is not pity. I hate boredom and some times we all need spice in our food. A little funny story on the blog will not hurt, some fun poked at life and situations would work. I did that and it worked for a blog I wrote for. I found it is ok to laugh sometimes, if not all the time at so many things we take seriously.

“I have determined to think before I write. ”

Hey, what are you — a radical subversive? That’s totally contrary to the whole ethos of blogging. Jeez, this could start a whole new trend that would put an end to blogging as we know it. Hrumph.
