A very good friend gave me this idea, 0r more likely i stole it from her. It's not something that will be acknowledged otherwise, just one thing of many. The understanding is there, and that is what matters. This is a new way to work for me, maybe the best way,as i have a thesis to build and am struggling to find the enrgy to build it. Little steps may not get you anywhere in a hurry, but they ensure that you are always moving forwards. Next time will be Masa, a man i don't envy, and he has far more than just me to contend with.

Standard blogger's enthusiasm. The glory of the new forum, the new space to fill with your mutterances. More than a post a day for the first week, then it becomes like the ex-girlfriend or work colleague you keeping meaning to see but never quite get around to actually meeting. There have been blogs before, there will be others in the future I have no doubt. For now it serves a purpose, a function that i am having trouble with using other means. Some may call it writer's block but i much prefer the simple 'laziness'. And yes, hold the mail, i appreciate the irony of writing about writer's block, but there is a considerable qualitative and quantitative margin between a blog and a phd thesis. and yes, i realise i am most likely writing this to myself. I hope i am not so presumptious to believe that others may find this at all interesting. There needs to be a relationship between reader and writer, and i can not promise that at the moment. What follows will most likely be little more than fragments, tiny sections that may not make any/much sense on their own. Read them if you wish; I may even do so myself.
