I've not been posting for a couple of days - did anyone notice?

No? That's what I thought... ;-)

Five Abyssinian kittens for your viewing pleasure. These cats would surely go for the beetles:

for the story and you might be amazed, but it has been noticed that you have not been posting. :-)

P.S, lovely kitty picture.

Thanks. Sadly the kitties have no relation to me...

Speaking of beauty and its opposite, have you seen the new dKos design? What do you think?

been missing you!!

Please don't do this to me!

Regarding your story: is this a variation on the topic of realos vs fundis? Staying pure but not achieving much vs compromise and compromission?

Sorry, Captain... There will occasionally be days when I'm not posting much, usually because I've been unable to finish any stories. And it's hard to know in advance when writer's block kicks in. Not an affliction you are prone to, I am sure... :-)

Your reading is a valid one - but in an existential more than socio-political sense. Zapffe was a bit like Camus, only not so optimistic...

Another post coming up in a little while.

Don't worry about it. I did get worried when 2 days went by with no posts from either you or Soj, and no news, and I had other obligations keeping me away from my computers... But please don't feel any pressure - now we have Colman to help us!

As to realos vs fundis, I'd say that it is probably one of the most fundamental metaphysical questions.

You're in trouble if you're depending on that guy to save you. I hear he drinks all sorts of weird French things. Some of them have apples or blackberries in them.

I refuse to have a blackberry, which my company has finally offered to foist upon me, because they have very limited internet access. I am perfectly happy with my 2-year-old SonyEricsson, where I can get all my e-mails and not just my work one, and i can read any intenet site (although apparently not the new version of dKos - and I can take nice pictures od the eiffel tower, sand castles or wind mills:
