So its been a little while and there are two
reasons for this:
- I've actually been doing academic work.
- Its been Fastnacht (otherwise known as Fasching or Karnival depending on where you are) and I've been waiting for all the crazy to be over before attempting to explain it.
Today, being Ash Wednesday, marks a complete close
to Fastnacht, so reason 2 no longer stands and I feel I need to
avoid a beak from reason 1, so I'll take a stab at an
account of the last week.
