OK, I don't know if people have noticed, but Symposiasts seems to have gone a bit nuts lately, and I think it's because both Elanor and myself are fiendishly procrastinating from writing essays, and you know, securing our future and stuff. Most worryingly, Elanor seems to have vanished into Television Without Pity, occasionally sending back garbled reports about "how amazing it is in their world" and so forth. Most embarrassingly, comments seem to get responded to in real time, which suggests that both myself and Elanor are lurking obsessively around the blog at all hours. Why does blogging activity seem to increase in situations when time is at a premium?
