Dear readers,
It’s time to stop with all the cross-posting already, because this blog is dying. You know it, and I know it. Since I’ve put everything I’ve written lately up at the Valve, people are just commenting there, secure in the knowledge that the comment threads there are read by over nine billion people, including a high ranking official with the World Bank. Meanwhile, because of semi-professional nature of the Valve (which, incidentally, is a great thing if you’re an academic with itchy typewriting fingers) my posts here have also skewed overmuch towards polemics about the rather grim situation of the humanities in the United States. Rather than being, say, posts about laundry. I got engaged in February, but you’d never know it from reading this blog until earlier this sentence.
So, if my highest hopes for what I write at the Valve continue to be the sorts of tracts Matthew Arnold once wrote, over here, it’s time to hoist Lester Bangs’s dirty flag again. Let the chaos, the power chords, and all things personal recommence!
See you again real soon,
Kugelmass

Congrats! (On the back-in-February thing, natch.)
A bold move, but I think a good one. This black-and-blue beauty (i.e. your blog–that description looks weird now that I’ve written it) is crying out for some TLC. (Tender Loving Content?) I look forward to reading the new batch.
The only downside is that now I will have to add The Valve (or at least your posts there) to my RSS. But a little horizon-expansion won’t kill me.
Yeah, cross-posting to the Valve is kind of pointless. The people who want to read Valve-type articles are much more likely to start out reading the Valve, and not your blog, than the reverse.
Congratulations on your engagement.
You sure did get engaged! And this blog is the reason! Cocoa puffs for everyone.
And you got engaged to the most beautiful (inside as well as outside) person that I know. Congrats Dude. Lucky man. Can’t wait to see you both at your wedding!
Hey, congrats on the engagement!
