Surfing through the academic blogs, it’s rather obvious that everyone is looking for distractions from paper writing. I’m in the midst of the most mind-numbing crap you can imagine at the moment. I’m so bored that I cleaned my bathtub last week. That’s bad, people.
Let’s see what everyone else is doing rather than working right now. Dan’s scratching his ass and parsing song lyrics. Henry and Kieran and everyone else over forty are finally signing up for Facebook. Scott’s wasting time, too.
I’m off to check TMZ.com. oooh, Britney’s sleeping with her bodyguard.

I’m not yet over 40, but I signed up for Facebook the other day under my real name. I feel naked and exposed on teh interwebs.

So, I’m not supposed to feel any pressure to sign up for Facebook until I’m forty? Thank goodness; that gives me a whole additional year to continue to play the Luddite.

Whippersnapper. Kieran, we need to chat via e-mail sometime. I think you know an old friend of mine.
