I am listmanic today. Also lazy.

I didn't get my words written over the weekend, although I got all the books read. I only have one book to read today, for I have run out of Aurealis books.

The largest element of completed work is that I've caught up on the new literature in the area I'm writing about and am thinking through implications. I don't think my basic argument is going to change, but I'm going to have to go through my article and adjust some of the terminology (I was sloppy!) and give a bit of intellectual context to some of the thoughts and entirely fix the formatting (for Word changed the template on me, without warning, last time round). I was expecting more drastic changes, so I want to sit and think for a bit and make sure I'm not missing the forest for the trees. This is why I didn't write yesterday and why I won't be writing this particular item until later today - better it be in a day later than be stupid.

Right now I'm putting off work for a few minutes by arguing with Robert H on Twitter (we're bickering about Hari Seldon) and by agreeing with Sean-who-blogs and Claire C about what we ought to be doing about child abuse. All I'm putting off is the final of the conference paper for the week after next. I've done it and just have to go through it one more time, fix the changes on the computer and print it out.

And in other news - a topic that's come up on my blog and on friends' blogs has been the curious relationship that the ex-British colonies have with England. I explored this a little in my latest BiblioBuffet article. Only a little. There's so much still to say!
