Thanks to the recent technological failure this site experienced (at least in Japan), I’m still two posts behind on where I should be in this blog. If I were on track this would be post 850 (or maybe 851). Either way it’s time to sit back and rethink a few things.

For a while I’ve been considering taking a day of rest from the regular posts. Sunday is the natural day to do this, especially as I’l be working on almost every Sunday from now until October.

The forced break was refreshing, but I also felt the pressure to produce the daily post. This was mostly out of habit but I took it as a positive sign.

On the other hand, even though I’m technically behind, I still like doing the daily posts and am glad that it’s all become automatic. That said, there’s a thin line between forcing yourself to do something and phoning in anything just to do something.

Because of that, I feel as if it’s time for some small changes. I can imagine Sunday being either a shorter post (under 300 words) or just some photos of some random something or other.

This will be especially true during the coming exam period when it’s best that I avoid computers as much as possible. I’ve also been pre-writing things a lot more, both by hand and on the website, but that has yet to become a habit.

Today will be the first short post. Next Sunday, we’ll see what happens.
