Well, I apologize for not updating in forever. I tend to be that way, as I let my thoughts simmer and simmer for a while, before I decide to write anything.

Plus, I've reached new levels of laziness. I just lounge around and eat and cook and read and watch TV. That sort of thing. Although it's a good thing that I have a good metabolism, so I don't gain as much weight as one would think I should, after eating all the stuff that I do. And I did get off my bottom this weekend and went to Prague, which is a gorgeous (and cheap!) city, so I had lots of fun, even though I have no clue how to say anything in Czech. It's weird. I felt lost because I couldn't read anything there unless it was written in  German or English.

We went to the Jewish Quarter, and I kept thinking, "Wow, Irene Adler was here" before I remembered--or rather--convinced myself that Irene Adler is a figment of imagination; a character in Sherlockian lore...But it was still hard not to imagine The Woman wandering around the city, solving the mystery of the Golem...plunging deep into the belly of the city...Nell peering up at the synagogues with myopic eyes and thoughts...it's just too easy to imagine these two characters in this city.

My legs are still a bit sore from walking around everywhere. There were points where poor unathletic me thought I was gonna die from overexercise or something. Seriously. One of the points was, one of the people who was in Prague with me said, "Let's walk really fast" or something like that. Hmm. My own friends think it's weird that I don't walk that fast. In fact, I tend to stroll when people are speed walking.

Also I went to Venice for Karneval, which was fun, but I ended up with a cramped, sore back for a week. The after-effects of my own travel was not fun...but I guess it was worth it just for the event.

I read the book, Mammon, Inc. by Hwee Hwee Tan, and it was cool. I recommend it. It was one of the most interestingly written allegories that I've read. I'll have to jot off an email to the writer, once I collect my thoughts. They're really scattered right now. I think that happens because I am watching Ally McBeal right now, too. And I just knitted a lot today--I'm attempting to make a sleeveless sweater (have no idea how to make sleeves just yet)...a welcome departure from making scarves and hats, which are nice, but that gets boring after a while.

If you're wondering if I'm actually doing my research, i have six interviews thus far. That's good, right? And I know I will collect more, it's just a matter of getting everything together and just getting the motivation--right now I'm just a bit worn out and tired, and lately been contemplating EVERYTHING.

There's a fly in my room right now. How irritating.
