Recently, in the pausing-from-dissertation procrastination breaks I've been using the little "next blog" button to scroll through other people's google blogs. I've found some interesting ones: a hardcore Chicago lawyer, laughing at everyone with new years resolutions to go to the gym, who complain that they've been there since 6:30 when he's been there since 5 (5?! My gym doesn't OPEN until 7!!); a Texan girl living in Ireland; this mom with 7 kids, one of whom is adopted, and then today on a hill village by Laura, who works in the Peace Corps. I've also noticed an abundance of blogs in other languages. There's a lot of crap to trawl through (blogs of entirely advertisements or porn) but there's also an awful lot of stuff that I just can't read. Now the abundance of Spanish I figure is because that's like the second most common language in America right? And now I think about it that sorta makes sense. And there's a lot of Asian script that I can't read. But there's also a LOT in French, German and for some reason Dutch! Makes me feel quite ... whatever the opposite of multicultural is.
I'm back in the department redoing the work I did last night, but thankfully I'd set up the system well enough that I just copied stuff over and ran it again really fast, so maybe I can go shower now (circuits this morning)
Also today I realised why my breaks aren't working very well. When the guys at the bike shop put my new inner tube in they disconnected them (for obvious reasons) but then didn't reconnect them again!! But I sorted out how to so now all is good :)
