my posting has dropped off a bit. it's basically a combination of lack of inspiration and extreme busyness (which tends to happen in the days before i leave the country for a couple of weeks).
of course, i'm also notoriously bad at predicting the frequency of my future posts. in my first year of blogging every time i did a blogging forecast it ended up being completely wrong. if i predicted sparse posting ahead, i'd get a burst of inspiration and somehow make the time for several new posts. or if i predicted posting as usual, i would not get around to posting for a few days. i don't write those predictions anymore. but i still think about them. and sometimes my thinking about the forecast slips out if you read a post closely enough. but even then they end up being completely wrong.
so now i'm gaming the system, suggesting that i probably won't blog as much in the first paragraph and then telling you that i'm always wrong about such things in the second. this time i can't lose! or maybe i can only lose.
