Yes, sorry - been busy lately, so basically this post is a cop-out (a list of excuses)

Category: Knoxville '82: Where Miscellany Thrive

So, things have been pretty busy round here, as among other things, I've been getting things ready for a visit to UBC by Wade Davis, which sort of explains my general absence from this blog (thanks Ben, for picking up my slack).

In any event, I have other excuses for my absence which can be summarized with the following list:

Children are ill
My scheduled posts were accidently or perhaps deliberately junked, by bad bad people, no less.
The special Director's Version of the "Bring it On" DVD has just been released.
Canada is on holiday.
There is a lot of marking to do.
I am caught in the hysteria of Canadian Idol.
S.A.R.S.

And so on... Really, I think what I have here is a good list of general all-purpose, can't-argue-with, sure-fire excuses.

Anyway, much apologies, and hope to be back sometime late next week.

Don't forget the equivalent of "I couldn't come to class because I was doing my homework".

I couldn't post because I was busy writing a post?

If I actually had a copy of Bring It On (rather than simply dropping everything to watch it when I come upon it while channel surfing), I would get so much less done ....
