Back in Business

After a few torturous weeks without reliable Internet access I can say that I am back where I belong! I missed the blog terribly and felt very guilty for not being able to update it as often as I wanted to but this was totally beyond my control - to paraphrase John Malkovitch in "Dangerous Liaisons". There was just too much going on in my life at the same time and my mind was just not there to have to hunt down Internet cafes to log on the blog. I am just not inspired to research stuff or write posts when I am paying by the minute and touching some disease-plagued keyboard away from the comfort of my own home. At the moment my home consists of a borrowed air mattress and a US$95.00 Target wicker bar stool, that I bought just to have a place to sit on and will returned as soon as my real furniture arrives this coming Saturday. The stool is very uncomfortable ad not really my style but I needed at least a place to sit when I had my meals (and use my laptop) and it was the least offensive they had. It looked sturdy enough so that I could return without too much fuss and show little wear. I also bought a tall paper lamp that will also be returned this coming week. So please accept my apologies and take me back into your loving arms...
