Off to Japan to give my lousy paper presentation at Keio University. I know, I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. A friend and former colleague reassured me that I have the ability to make bull-shit sound profound, so I take (cold) comfort in that, at least. While I’m lugging my laptop there, and will supposedly have internet access, I’m not sure if I’m going to be blogging for the next week. I think I read somewhere that new bloggers may go through withdrawal symptoms, and I can feel them coming on already.
On the other hand, I plan to gorge myself on zaru-soba (buckwheat noodles), tempura, and yaki-udon while I’m there. Can’t wait!
