I have a confession to make: I haven’t read anything over the last week, I haven’t watched anything, and hence I find myself without a subject for this week’s post.

It kills me, because I’ve been posting regularly once a week for over six months now. This blog became a good habit for me, an engagement that I have managed to keep even when I failed with my more creative endeavors. I’d hate to break the good spell.

So I’ve written a little verse as a subterfuge to avoid a full-on cop-out:

Tropical island No bookshop No post
