A whole summer, gone! Inexplicably, during a time when technically we should have had the most time to dedicate to the blogosphere, we managed to totally abandon it. Instead of capitalising on a brief surge in traffic, we let the blog drift into its current lonely and idle state.
We
could have spent an entire season improving our non-fiction skills, whether it
be reviews of the literary kind or reviews of our daily experiences themselves.
Our contributions could have exploded into cyberspace garnering praise from
every corner of the earth. Mindless ramblings could have transformed into
astounding observations, explanations or even salutations of the achievements
of a race bound to a planet which is dying beneath our feet.
But
the truth is, readers, none of that was ever really likely to happen.
I
mean, the closest I get to saving the planet is making sure I put the recycling
out on time. Mostly I'd rather have my head stuck in a book than in a school of
thought that would inevitably lead me to contemplation of humanity's
destruction. (I'm telling you now, me in a perpetual state of
Armageddon-related paranoia is not a pretty sight.)
Besides,
I doubt my obsession with analytically reviewing books is going to make universal
headlines any time soon.
For
now, though, we're back! (Or at least I am, since Tora's not here at exactly
this moment to consult on the matter.)
More
posts to come, if I can pull myself out of my regret-filled, guilty wallowing
pit. How could I have let an entire summer pass by without posting at all?! I
bring shame upon myself.
