Actually, the chances of you wondering that are very slim, either because you are not pessimistic or because you hear from me using other media, so let me start over:
In case you're wondering, this blog is still alive. The fact that nothing has been posted in almost a month is simply due to nothing happened in almost a month that would be worthy of a mention here.
Some things did happen that were not routine. I met my current boss's previous boss, who was as cool as I expected. There was a pretty fun party at the institute where I had a discussion that started with "I stopped listening to new music after the The Wall because there was nothing new left to be said" and got better with every turn it took (and it took lots and lots of turns). I gave a half hour presentation to first-year Master students that lasted for an hour and a half. Just a few hours ago I listened to Lynn Margulis talk. Plus other stuff that I can't remember right now, not to mention national and international events that could be commented upon.
So it's not a complete lack of theme that has kept me from posting; it's the lack of a theme that will inspire me to put fingers to the keyboard and hammer out a coherent and pleasing text. I guess I could write about Tina Fey's witty humour, and nerdy good looks, but I don't want to trade dignity for inspiration yet.
Hey. What's wrong with her Sarah Palin impersonation? In any case it's better than La Palin herself.
ReplyDeleteAlso, prepare to lose dignity once you start blogging. Two years on and I'm already writing about cyber sex and bikini waxing. Dignity went out the window a long time ago.
Congrats on the presentation, professor Filipe! ;) With you, we´re now three the ones who had teaching experience! And what a great achievement to include on your c.v.
