First of all, what the bloody *peeeep* happened to all previous posts in this blog??? Haven't the faintest...
Just a quick update: The piece on media discourses regarding the unification process in South African rugby is coming along nicely. Well, nicely isn't the proper word. More like flotsam and jetsam which hopefully will be pieced together at the end of the month. Research can be like that sometimes. You write stuff, put some notes to it and then forget all about it until you come across it again and piece it together with some other part. It looks quite erratic, but it usually comes together in the end, as was the case with the Ottoman project. And that turned out quite good, didn't it? :)
And just when you think "ah well, that's it, then"... Big frikkin' mistake as something that you ought to have put in the text somehow got lost on the way... That happened today, unfortunately... Won't tell you what it is, but its time to step on it until the midnight oil burns...

The human mind can be quite strange sometimes. All of a sudden a new idea for a project comes along, before the other has been finished and all you can think about is that new project, which isn't real yet. Slowly and grudgingly one returns to sanity and keep writing on the current project. Luckily, my partner in crime, Robert, is much more structured and has a knack for bringing me down to earth...
