I think I may literally die of boredom at any second. This day could not possibly be more uneventful than it has been. I shudder to think how many times I have checked my inbox in the hope that there would be even one email to reply to, but there have been none, not even annoying reminders of upcoming departmental business. Nothing. Sigh... That

I'm replying to this just so you'll get some email. :)

How's things these days? You don't update much.

Thanks! Things are actually really good. I'm just having a strange day. Liz is away visiting a friend and I feel a little trapped here in Florence. The fall was crazy and I just couldn't spend time on LJ, so that's why you haven't seen me for a long while. I spent January completing old work. How have you been? Sorry about not keeping up with reading or commenting.

"Completing"? That must be a German word; it kinda looks like English, but I don't recognize it. Certainly not in context of grad school, anyway. :)

You haven't missed much in my life (or my journal-I haven't said anything substantive since, like, October). I'm less depressed than I was most of last year. Saw what's-his-name today at a party, though, and I still have some baggage. Oh well. So it goes.

Bedtime now. Seeya later.

Clearly you are not as skilled at using LJ to procrastinate as I am. Which is good, for your grad school activities, I'm sure.

I can be quite skilled at using LJ to that end, but as you noted, it is better for my productivity if I don't allow myself to be lured in by LJ's heady charms. That's why I'm hardly ever on anymore. If I allow myself, I become a total crack addict with LJ. There's no such thing as moderation.

Fortunately, my boredom has vanished. Liz is home, I'm writing away, and we're going to her dad's to watch the Superbowl in a few hours. Yay!

Glad to hear it. Have fun!
