Mirkwood

Hello bloggers and readers,

I’d just like to peek out and say that my blogging frequency will reduce for the coming few weeks. Two weeks ago, I moved to the east coast for a job. It will take a while before I become comfortable with the new surroundings and new expectations and get my work and house in order. Reading hasn’t stopped altogether, but the opportunities are fewer and shorter. Often, I carry a book to read on the short, daily train ride from Porter Square to Kendall and back.

These days, it takes me between two to four hours to write a single post, which is very long by blogging standards. So, I thought it might be better to go slow for a few weeks. I hope to be back to “normal” blogging soon. Meanwhile, I shall have a lot of fun catching up with all the posts that I have missed on my favorite blogs when I made the protracted move from California.

Blog on!

Owing to dissertation deadlines, a looming conference, and a tough job-search, I am going to have to curtail my reading time for the next two months at least. Since Mirkwood is directly related to my reading activity, I expect that there will be fewer updates during this time. I am not considering a complete drought but want to restrict posting and commenting to the weekends.

By my usual standards, 2006 has been The Year of Reading Furiously. Now, I must attend to real life ;).
