Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose

From Holly Lisle's Pocket Full of Words, an interesting endeavor:

1. Delve into your blog archive.

2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to).

3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).

4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions. Ponder it for meaning, subtext or hidden agendas...

Here's mine:

I truly cannot understand how the "citizens" (and those quotation marks are there for a reason) of this country are so blind to what's going on.

That's from January 15, 2004, a post entitled Spelling America with a "K" now, are we?

Things have changed. Then, I was happily* living in Northern VA and working for Benetton. Since then, I've gone to Sweden, got a Master's degree, and have since come to Prague and am trying to make it as an English teacher. And yet back home, it seems that things are still the same. A fact that can be either refreshing and comforting, or frightening and sad, depending on your POV.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, indeed.

* And if you believe that, I've got a nice bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in...

Your archive links seem to be broken. -- O.o

They work fine for me. Have you tried hitting "refresh"?

Yes I did. :P

Just so we're talking about the same thing, I refering to the links under the [::..archive..::] category. I get a Blogger page for each indicating the requested URL was not found.

You clearly have no idea what you're doing, as they do, of course, work fine. ;)

Once again your stupid archives refuse to work for me. I suspect you are doing this to me on purpose. I will not forgive this insult. Our families will feud for generations! -- O.o
