sweltering

I realise one of the problems I have with keeping this blog afloat is that I always procrastinate getting to it. My typical online routine involves going on Facebook, stalking my friends' LiveJournals, checking my forums and covering some of the webcomics and news feeds on my Google Reader (which repopulates faster than I can read it).

So I figure that if I just make sure I write something every time I get on the internet, I will start to turn this into a more consistent habit, which means you can come back here more often without having that disappointed "Aw shucks, there's nothing new to read!" feeling. I hate that feeling, so I'm going to do my best to make sure you aren't subjected to it. (In my head, I was thinking "you don't kena". Singlish is so wonderfully succint sometimes!)

Malcolm Gladwell (Blink, Tipping Point, Outliers) has a new book out, and so do Levitt/Dubner (Freakonomics) and Tim Harford (The Undercover Economist). I am foaming at the mouth! Absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on them and devour them all from cover to cover in a single sitting, and then go through them again. I've already gotten the second two, now to get my hands on Gladwell's latest work. Mmm. I am such a nerd at heart.

In other news, it's a brutally hot day today.
