Other: I no longer have one Dec 27, 2011

Few years ago I created my blog to see how SEO works. Once I got a vague idea, I deleted it.

Celebrating reverse culture shock Dec 27, 2011

Yes, I came back to the US after almost 20 years in Catalonia, Spain and have been grappling with my very severe reverse culture shock at my own country, along with perhaps overly misty-eyed nostalgia for my lost homeland and city, Barcelona.

On explorecrete.com Dec 27, 2011

Six years ago, when I was planning to move to Crete, I created my blog on explorecrete.com. I updated it with my experience of being a newcomer to Crete, with my impressions of being here in the Southern most place of Europe.

Now that I have for years been "an inhabitant" of this place, I hardly ever update it, maybe once every six months, nothing seems to surprise me anymore, so maybe I think it wouldn´t be surprising anybody else either....

P.S. I just checked out the site, it seems as if the blogs have "died"... well, there is a time for everything...

I have a blog http://tradusonagap.wordpress.com/ apart from my website http://www.sonagap.net,

I started it recently, so I haven't written much and though it takes time to have it updated I find that it is an interesting task which can help you in some many ways, and also gives you the chance to get to or find many other blogs which are very enlightening and broadening related to translation.

It's my opinion!

Happy New Year to all of you!

No Dec 27, 2011

First of all, I have no time for it and secondly, as Christine said, "I feel I ought to have something really worth saying before I clutter the Net up with it". One of my daughters has one about pieces of handicraft that she produces (http://joiasdarita.blogspot.com/) (Portuguese-only)…

Happy New Year to all Prozians!

My dog has one; I will soon Dec 27, 2011

See www.dogster.com/dogs/594409. Actually, she hasn't been writing much lately.

I will be publishing a memoir next year, and it will have a website and blog.

Nope Dec 28, 2011

I'm not sure what the "Why not?" is all about. The list of things I don't have is infinite. Do I need a justification for each one?

Yes, a personal blog Dec 28, 2011

I do have a personal blog independent from the translation business. It was born from the necessity to share some thoughts and writings with one of my best friends and so we decided to create that space for both of us to publish psychological reflections, personal thoughts and other contents. It's in Spanish because it's our native language.

You don't want to know the flabbergasted looks on various faces whenever I tell anyone that I don't want or need a cellphone or Skype or IM.

Back to topic: I don't have a blog, either and I can't even tell why. Maybe for the same reason I don't need pink shoes with LED lights.

Simply no time to do it right.... Dec 28, 2011

After working, looking after my kids, cooking, ironing, cleaning house, grocery shopping, paying bills and balancing my checkbook, I just don't have enough time (or energy!!) to put into a blog.

I cringe at the idea of subjecting the world to the banalities of my existence!

So, until I have the time to post something actually useful to the world, I will not have a blog...

...if I went 'round, sayin' I was an Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!!!
