You Bring Light In, To A Dark Place

Isn't She Lovely?

Just a few things in a rather scattered yet grander than the grand, Victorian manner…

• Once again, I have been quite negligent in updating this blog- my midterms just finished recently and I seriously do not know how even I could have managed that. At any rate- I have been fortunate and grateful. I knew I worked hard (well that’s not really saying much as I have been coasting on talent for the past two years) but still, I have learned my lesson not to leave fights to judges and their scorecards and finish them- no more, no less.  I am returning to camp Marinovich for the whole of March and will be coming out of April- fit and focused and more importantly, my weaknesses will be strengths, my strengths will be second nature . Watch.

• I have been immersed with the rather mesmerising spectacle of the Olympics- the tragedy that befell the start was surely heartbreaking but still the triumph of man against physical and mental odds must be celebrated- a very welcome respite from the tortuous drama going on in the world. So to my girl Mao Asada (too bad honey- you’ll win next time darling- here’s a great article from the Village Voice though- http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/archives/2010/02/mao_asadas_cons.php), Yu-na Kim (just mind blowing and very well-deserved), Magdalena Neuner, Bode Miller (doing it in one’s own way and all in good time- the only way to do it!), the Japanese Women’s Curling Team (still not a sport-haha), the skiers, the skaters, the sticks, the shooters, the crashes, the jumps,  the falls and the fights and the flights and everything in between- thank you. For a moment, you all spared the world from nonsense and sadness and just gifted all a taste of victory- for humanity.

• So there. I am finishing my reading on Hayek, keeping an eye on the war of words between the Greeks and the Teutons, writing a few pieces here and there and getting ready to go back to camp. March will mark TWO MONTHS OFF of cutting out all the silly stuff (to the muse I made a vow to and for- see? I keep my word…) and I am gunning for A HUNDRED DAYS OFF. Anyway, I’ll post more of my musings on economics and law soon and here’s to the summer..
