Compartmentalization

I have a horrendous backlog of things to post and will do so after the Manila International Book Fair. For those who care to know, I’m participating as a member of the Read or Die Book Club in a program called Ang Bagong Libro. We’re neck-deep in on sale booths there, come and join us.

The radio silence in this blog should not be taken as an abandonment. You can find some of my literary ruminations (urk) at the Read or Die Blog. To be honest, I intended Tropical Marginalia primarily as an archive of my book reviews, especially those I read in response to certain reading challenges. My RoD entries have a sort of, well, meta quality to them, except for the official posts I make in behalf of the blog. I’ve also created a creative blog, the url of which I will not post yet because it’s still conspicuously empty. Keeping multiple blogs is a fairly new concept for me, because for the past 4 years I’ve limited my online interaction at my old LiveJournal account. Non-LJ blogging is fairly new as well, as Kristin Mandigma put it, my writing has always been fairly hermetic, and am still unused to the ah, public nature of conventional blogging. That is to say, I’m here, though I may seem like I’m not.

To the two of you who have dropped by my blog in the past couple of days, um, hi.
