A Short Break, II

After a short hiatus, I am back to blogging. I needed the afternoon off.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, and yes, maybe this blog is "far too interesting for such diva statements."

Although one point of contention: I fiercely disagree with Momus' idea that "we are all tell lies about Japan." My ideas and conclusions may often be mistaken, biased, sckewed, unfair, or ignorant, but I'm never lying. I know "lying" should be taken as witty hyperbole - some meta self-criticism to get us all off the hook - but my aim with this blog is not to sell you a vision of Japan for personal gain.

29 hour's isn't much of a break. i've forgotten to sleep, or eat for longer then that. [in the past]

We all have moments where we feel that this "blogging biz" is just getting a bore, or getting to be too much of a chore. It's usually short-lived. You're going to learn to be more quiet about it.

I had no idea Justin was quitting the blog game. He just blogged about me!

Welcome back, Marxy! You remind me of Serge Gainsbourg saying he gave up smoking "every five minutes".

What do you mean he just blogged about you? He stopped blogging in early January (or late December), and then posted a video of himself having a nervous breakdown.

He must have a new secret blog.
