How can I forget to

mention that it's been a good nine months since I last blogged?

A baby could have been born in that time.

Yes, negotiations had stalled. Work, and other things.

Now we're back on track, I hope.

It's interesting how

Simon and I were just discussing about how some blogs go on and on only about food, and nothing else.

Of course, those are called food blogs. That's a focused theme of great human interest.

Food is a tag of choice, of identity even. There are even scholastic views on the tenets of food practices founding the identity of a diaspora... or imagined community, Anderson-ian style.

But really, for the bloggers who call their online musings food blogs simply because they have nothing else to write about - that's a totally different ball game.

Don't get me wrong, I love to talk about food as much as I love food itself. I can go on and on about it. And I love hunting down the best food places - hawker, attas and inbetween.

But that can't be all there is.

Then again, there are those who do exceedingly well with food blogs (and it's not just the wonderful photos). I love those.

I won't offer a Hollywood ending by giving an intro-body-conclusion deal.

This is an indie ending.

You go figure.
