Crank it up - with better fatality photos!

So, expateek is cranky, and what's new?

She hasn't been blogging, but instead she's been wasting her time sending emails to old friends who can't be arsed to reply. At all.

So she'll be back to blogging, as of tomorrow. Even if you guys don't comment (the "whinge of the week", apparently, but don't look to me for complaining, cuz I just don't complain, I'm too nice, doncha know?) at least expateek can see that you've been by. She's got those nice widgets that track your every move. (No, don't turn and look. I've got you on videocam!) (You look cute, don't worry, and there's no pepper in your teeth and your pants are tucked in....)

And she'll clue you up tomorrow as to why she's been so out-of-touch. It's not the turquoise lapping oceanic lure of the BVI, even though that's a nice excuse. No, more like, re-entry into the land that time forgot -- insertion of all items from European cargo ship into smallish home in suburban Chicago....

Meanwhile, something from an Oregonian darling who does write me, off and on...


Breaking news.... Celebrity swine flu fatality.

And we all knew who gave it to him!
