- - - Just to show you that the blog wasn’t completely absent from my mind (okay, maybe it was 50% there and 50% not), here are some clips from the past that I never quite managed to edit or post. For various apparent reasons. - - -
It’s officially hot water bottle season in Sweden. I love snuggling up with my blue elephant, whom I was all set to name ‘Sheikh’ (because there are elephants in the Middle East, right? don’t argue!) until I came upon this video:
…and then I had doubts. Granted, there is no correlation at all between elephant and Arabic belly dancers but now the manly aspect of the name is lost on me. Back to the drawing board.
Anyway, I feel like an old woman. In fact, I’m quite convinced that I should skip my 20s and 30s to jump right into my 40s. In fact, lately I’ve been feeling like putting my hair in a bun, exchanging the contact lenses for spectacles, and acquiring an overly large and hairy dog named “Bruno” to sit on my feet as I knit unethically large hats. I blame the weather.
I blame today’s random-ness on today’s writing assignment: the difficulties of nation-building in post-Soviet Central Asian republics. My mind is willing to alight on any subject but that, it seems. And my inability to finish the writing assignment illustrates that to the T. 10.13.2009
