On an unbelievably brief break from putting together my monster 1100+ piece mailing for Admissions today i took a moment to read a few blogs. Now, you have to understand that this is something i haven’t done for a fairly long time … i’ve even fallen behind on my tacet upkeep with Rabi, Tom, and Martha to the point where Elise has to inform me that the former was on break and the latter was back from hers. It didn’t take too much reading to remember why i enjoy this so much, and i’ll spare you the highly irrelevant details, but i was shocked the entire time by how out of the loop i am. Sure, i’m out of the teevee loop, as i’ve pretty much given it up cold-turkey. And, yes, i am out of the national news loop — i found out about the Washington Sniper in Linguistics class when someone mentioned it in a report they were doing about the speech community at WPVI News. But, i feel as though i’m out of some larger, more all-encompassing loop … instead just repeatedly running the Peter-circuit without a care in the world.


Hoping to amend that soon, but right now i think i need to take a minute to actually eat something before starting on homework or some indefinite quest to reclaim my witty bloggness.
