Monday Blogcrawl

I have promised my academic supervisor a new chapter of my thesis by Wednesday, but I need to confess that it may not happen. Maybe Thursday? Friday? I just can't bring myself to write - not an unusual problem, I know. But I need to, because my thesis needs to be finished by the end of the year, NO MATTER WHAT! So I can't afford to relax right now. Paradoxically, here's how I've been relaxing:

• A fascinating reflection on living a philosophy and philosophising life.
• Problogger tells us how blogging can get us free travel. Bring it on!
• I am, once more, officially on a diet. If I weren't, I would SO be making this Nutella cheesecake featured over at Chocolatesuze.
• Jesus and Mary have been appearing on the moon at Mumbai! Book me a ticket!
• Some nice, solid advice on how the very best bloggers do it, by Jeff Bullas.
• OhLalamag has some great pics of a daring new Gaultier gender-bending men's collection. I will always love you, Jean-Paul!
• Stephen Asma, one of my favourite travel writers, writes areally insightful and just plain brilliant essay on the bizarre assumptions of "the new atheists."
