A brief update

As mentioned somewhere before, albeit probably on my ridiculously short-lived Norwegian blog, I didn’t have access to the Internet where I lived in Athens. I also tended to prioritise other stuff than blogging or the Net in general when I actually had access, and in combination with my well-known erratic posting habits recently, this has pretty much kept me away from my usual haunts in the last three months or so. I tried to keep updated on Amras‘ and Loki’s blogs for a week or so, but as I had to do so in the library reading hall and tended to laugh out loud a lot while reading, I found out that wasn’t the best of ideas. (But you’ll have to agree, Amras and Loki, that it is a most mitigating circumstance that I shunned your blogs because they were to funny, right?)

Anyhoo, I’m back for a spate now, as I’m at home writing (or at least I am supposed to be writing) the home exam papers for the Athens course, and as a consequence of being finished with two out of three and the third being the philosophy one, I tend to procrastinate quite a lot. There’s really few reasons why at least some of that time can’t be spent, like, here or something.

Hey, who knows? Maybe I’ll even get around to do some reviews, too?

(In fact, that is what caused me to come around here tonight; I remember having promised Amras to let him know what I thought of the rest of Fritz Leiber’s First Book of Lankhmar, and as I finished that book last week, I decided to strike two stones with one bird or some such nonsense, and combine the review for Thus Spoketh with the one I wrote for my Facebook Visual Bookshelf thingy. (Yes, I caved, but only for practical reasons, I swear! I did a girl a favour by signing up for the infernal thing, and it proved to be just the vortex of evil I thought it would be, although the company’s not all that bad.) The review won’t be among my best, to say the least, but it’ll be fairly comprehensive and consice, if nothing else. And I will, as always, embellish upon any point desirable. This is, after all, a kind of a service I am providing, and as as a provider of services I do have certain obligations, I guess.)
