cutting some slack

I've been a slack blogger of late. I've been posting things to my del.icio.us list instead of writing about them. It's easier. Way easier, I don't have to think about why I find the site interesting, I don't have to enunciate anything, all I've got to do is choose some tags.

So to reverse the trend I've just posted this Tell Me Your War Stories to del.icio.us and I'm writing about it here as well. The blogger found me via my profile where I list Joan Didion as a favourite author. The blogger is a graduate student and English professor doing a project around war rhetoric, and the way that soldiers refer to combat - very interesting.
