We're Back

Published Jul 25 2007, 06:14 PM by Sharon Steel

Hold your applause! Apologies for the absence, lack of updates, etc. Word Up is still alive and well. We were away on a trek around the Holy Land (srsly) that has left us spiritually enlightened (not like Madonna, so stop judging), exhausted from hiking up and down really big mountains, blissful from days on end of gawking at really old, ancient, awesome stuff, and hysterically amazed at our ability to go nearly a fortnight without Books or Blogz as entertainment. Did you miss us?!!

We're playing the catch-up game right now, though Word Up should return to a more-or-less regular schedule of readings updates and linkage later this week. This is, of course, contingent on how soon we figure out whether L. Lo was CHASING her assistant's mom's car or BEING CHASED and carefully avoiding any HP spoilers because we're currently in the middle of Emma and sometimes you just don't want to mess with La Austen's flow. Plus, don't stone us for saying this, but at the moment we actually NEED a wee break from that Potter boy! Just a short one. Promise.

In conclusion, these girls are fucking cool. And our heroes.

For the love of jeebus please post something literary soon. I don't want to hear one more thing about some dopey hipster-come-teeny-bopper's craze for Harry Potter and the Chamberpot of Doom.

Hi Dan! Why all the Potter hate? I think you're reading too much Harold Bloom.
