Be Right Back

If you finished a chapter in a book you were reading, then turned the page to find a blank space and no indication of when the next chapter would be appearing, firstly you would assume you were inside one of my silly analogies and secondly you would be a bit miffed. Blogs are often guilty of this, with users leaving long gaps without posts for no reason. Admittedly, a blog is only like a book if you suspend reality and pretend that books are never-ending and can be read in real time as the author finishes each chapter, but nonetheless you see my point. Do you? Probably not entirely until the the end of this paragraph, because the point has not yet been fully revealed. It is this: I'm away for a few days doing fun-related, internet-unrelated things. Back Sunday. Don't rob my house while I'm away. Rob a bank instead.

I once had a student radio show which I used to legitimise the act of talking to myself by pretending people were listening. This blog may be its replacement. In the spirit of this blog, that is the spirit of trying only to write about things that are interesting or occasionally to write that I have nothing interesting about which to write, I have deleted what used to be the beginning of an aimless ramble here. With luck, interesting events may occur while I am away from the internet. Wiser men than me might say that that is no coincidence, but I'm not ready to let go just yet. I shall be pining for cyberspace.
