| thoughts from a cunning linguist | |
Traveling from New York to Boston costs only $10 each way on the Fung-Wah bus that goes from Chinatown in NYC to Chinatown in Boston. Good deal, huh? And so I am taking myself off to Boston on Friday to visit my sister and her kids and to celebrate my birthday there. 31 years old, I'll be, on Feb.27. Kinda hard to believe...
Well no excuse can really cover my absence from the blog. I could say that I went into hibernation--my disappearance does roughly coincide with the onset of winter. I wish I had a more exotic narrative (though in a way, I do: I could say I got kidnapped by a cougar and forced to be a love slave and house muffin. But if I said that, the cougar might not like it...) Or I could say I just was busy, which no one ever really believes anyway--or not enough to be a justifiable excuse. Hell, I wouldn't believe me if I said that either.
The only thing I can say (beyond, "Hi, I'm back! Remember me?") is that I had a bout of amnesia. Up until last fall, my computer was remembering my login name and password to Movable Type. Then, I got a virus on my computer, deleted all my cookies in an effort to get rid of it, and presto: no more login info for Movable Type. In my defense, I must say that I did _try_ to blog. Alas, I think I could have tried harder. I should definitely have called Maurice sooner.
Movable Type problems or not, that is surely the case anyway. But instead of promising never to disappear again (since I've surely lost all credibility on that front anyway!), I'll promise to be better. That means if I do get kidnapped by a cougar and am forced to be a love slave and a house muffin, at least I'll have the good grace to tell you about it.
