Extinguished, Expired, Extinct
Promise to self (which I've already reneged on more than once): take a holiday in reality. Got a feeling that Dread, Walking has run its course just as Undercurrent did (albeit in accelerated fashion). And blogging has becoming an insane dissipative time-sapping compulsion with diminishing returns.
The blogosphere being, notoriously, something of an electronic Hotel California (you can check out any time you like...but you can never leave; we are all just prisoners here, of our own device; and most poignantly some blog to remember, some blog to forget) I will probably be back sooner or later, here or elsewhere, but for the time being eso es todo amigos.

I think that's most wise, and I hope you'll have a wonderful trip. I have to thank you, with your future now made so uncertain, for the very stimulating posts I've read in the month or so since I've read here--from Scriptgenerator post I was led to Houllebecq's 'Platform', whose star is very good on tourism, although there are definitely other alternatives besides backpacking discomfort and resort whore. I'm doing a short holiday later in the month, and think it ought to be done 3-4 times a year for a week, or twice for 2 weeks, when possible. I don't even check email on holiday, think internet cafes make coffee very harsh. I'll probably get a chance to look at some of the older posts, which I will want to do, since the ones related to the Lear one were very fine.

Reality isn't what it is cracked up to be. What it there but a bunch of interzone creatures longing to be free? Come back to the blog, merge, lose these base desires...

Isn't this related to the unilateral direction of the entries, usually more notes written into the wild blue yonder than something published for use ?

If you're going to be wandering aimlessly around for a bit, then perhaps come up here for a weekend. It's refreshingly dull.
