Please forward all bills and letters to my new address: http://anatomyofmelancholy.wordpress.com.

All posts here can be found there too, so if you want to leave a comment, please do so at the new site.

And if you've got me in your blogrolls, I'd appreciate it if you made the change. (I know it's a pain in the ass...)

And to those of you who helped me by lending me boxes -- much thanks.

On Saturday night N. and I invited Jamie over for a couple of drinks. I had bought a small bottle of Absinth, of the Czech variety. We had been planning for some time to try it. (He studied French literature in university, and I was a big Rimbaud fan when I was a teenager, so that should explain it.)

I opened the bottle and took a sniff.

This entry is made up of notes I made this summer, and had planned to post, but then forgot about. Recently Dr Zen blogged about bad writing, and it reminded me of the notes.

There's been an interesting story circulating the Greek blogs the past couple of days, and I was going to write about it here in English, but I've discovered that Academia Nervosa and Histologion have already done a fine job of it, so I'll direct you to them in a minute.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Greek (un)reality, let me give you a brief introduction.

I've been back since early January, but haven't posted anything. I haven't been in the proper frame of mind, and I never wanted this to be a journal.

In December I had become so enthusiastic about them that I registered on Bloglines to keep track of all the ones I was reading. When I returned, there were more posts than I could read. I tried to comprehend, to imagine just how many bloggers there are out there, and I got a wee case of vertigo. My will became a little paralysed, so to speak.

Which is silly, in a way. I'm a newcomer, but already there's a nice little community of people checking in, which I check into as well.

I haven't felt like writing anything, but from time to time, I'd be drafting something in my head.

So, who's the anonymous one who wrote, "Having too good a time to post anything, I hope. Still, some life sign would be nice for us constant readers"?

I'm leaving for Toronto today for two weeks. I hope to have lots of bloggable experiences while I'm there.
