J'accuse - Je refuse!

I've noticed a significant fall-off in both email and telephone communcation since I began this blog. It seems that now my friends (you know who you are) only contact me - if at all - by occasionally commenting on my blog posts, and once in awhile by email, usually just to fact-check something I wrote in my blog. Even my blog-wary mother (you know who you are) has joined the ranks of the tele-phobic; while I'm pleased that she now reads my blog compulsively, I haven't heard from her in over a month. This is a marked change from our thrice-weekly long-distance confabs of the past.

In protest, I am refusing to post until my friends and family begin calling me again. I'm pretty sure you can think of something to say that won't depress me further, and/or which hasn't already been mentioned in my blog.

To start you off, some possible topics could include:

-My sinus infection
-That BEK cartoon in last week's New Yorker
-Books we like
-How's my cat?
-Recently featured on Leonard Lopate/UPN News Rundown (for New Yorkers only)
-Recipe exchange
-Most recent episode of The O.C.
-☟to Condoleezza Rice, Ariel Sharon, or Adam Gopnik
-Politics, excluding Iraq and domestic policy (boring!)
-Mediocre celebrity sightings

And please people, no discussion of my dissertation, recent therapy sessions, or my current medication regimen, unless initiated by me!
