On Monday, my intensive Arabic course begins. Between that, dissertation writing and the new column, there won’t be any time for Eunomia for the next two months. Depending on what happens in the next few months, I may also be away from this for all of August and September, too, and if certain things fall into place I could be completely swamped come the fall. I will try to check in very occasionally, but the odds are that the best way to see my writing is to pick up a copy of The American Conservative (which you should already be reading anyway) or an issue of Chronicles. It seems that all those hiatuses that I declared in the past, but never actually took, have caught up with me.
I would like to take this chance to thank all of the readers and fellow bloggers who have made Eunomia as successful as it has been. The first half of 2007 has been great. I’ll see you all in a few months.
Update: As a final treat before I go, here are Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan performing “Yeh Ladki Hai” from Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham. Enjoy.

This is very difficult to accept.

And lo, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Anyone taking bets? But I suppose even Daniel’s days finally have only 24 hours. At least I do subscribe to both journals.
God bless you in your undertakings.

So sad. I guarantee that even if I give up sleep and work, I wouldn’t be able to file the gap, not even quantitatively.
Be well and prosper.

I think we should start a pool for how many posts there will be in the next few months.

Thanks, everyone. I’m sorry to drop this on you all so suddenly, but I thought it was better if I give some advance notice this week. I could liveblog my Arabic class, but I think the teacher would find it disruptive.
You can make your bets, but unlike past so-called hiatuses I really will have no time to cheat with a number of posts every other day. Arabic runs from 8:30-3:00 every day for two months straight. If my mind is still functioning after 3:00, it will be time to do other work before I get up the next day to start over again. If I do find any time to blog, it will be much more like the old days of 2005 rather than the hyper-posting of 2006.

My favorite Arabic phrase starts “laruakes sahkte lebazarac ahomen yuke ariba domira kuberka akenslasaya tusla arebem sharmuta” and on it goes for a few minutes more. It’s a Lebanese dialect I’m told. And then my second favorite: “Titanic”. That ones an Egyptian dialect I’m told. Asalam alaykum Daniel.

I can’t believe I’m going to have to subscribe to TAC just to get my Larison on.
All best,
