monoceros blogsLuckily for dimsumdolly, I managed to renew my domain name even though it expired several days ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to respond to her tag.
But yes, it's been four years since I started this blog, and perhaps there should be more fanfare about it, but I've been insanely busy with teaching and editing. I'm counting down to the two-week break that begins the last week of March. Perhaps I'll finally be able to reply to emails that have been lying around for a couple of months, read more books (though I did read three novels during the Chinese New Year break; snacking at obscure relatives' homes be damned, I want my reading time), finish unpacking, buy more furniture to store whatever hasn't been unpacked, maybe get to a few more milongas and yoga classes.
For now, I'd better take care of this list.
