who's got the funk?

Answer: Dan Myers. Unfortunately, it's a blog funk. He was able to overcome the splayer-haters who didn't appreciate his stylish way of crushing a can, but now he's been laid low by some combination of a bothersome commenter and the cyclical character of blogthusiasm. Keep the faith, Dan!

Meanwhile, I cannot tell if Kieran is serious about having his own secret blog or not. I won't even speculate about what the content of it might be. He should leave clues for its location like Masquerade, which I accidentally purchased today using my Harvard purchasing card and now have to fill out a form and write a check to reimburse them for it.

My own solution to blog malaise, which has been an open secret for some time now but perhaps you are one of the people not in the know, has been to keep a pseudonymous second blog under the name "Gwen." Part of my gimmick with "Gwen" is that every time I write a post having to do with the Animals and Society ASA section on this blog, I have her adopt another pet on her blog.

Dan and Kieran have their own labels? I'm so jealous right now.

There, I made you one. And one for Gwen.

Thanks Jeremy. I've learned from my kids that whining usually gets you what you want.

If I were going to write "Junior Faculty Rulz", something about being a strategic squeaky wheel would be on the list.

I've snapped out of it completely, for the same reason brayden is jealous! I have my own label on JFW!

Gwen? But maybe with a wig you could pass as Dolores Umbridge. Now THAT would be something.
