Japanese and Samuel Pepys

There's no connection between the three, by the way.

I keep getting these strange comments on my blog - they're in Japanese. I delete them because I don't speak Japanese and for all I know they're porn-related (and this is a clean blog).

Samuel Pepys. So I'm doing a research project on the gender-revolution of Restoration England and I found myself reading Pepys' famous diary. It's really interesting and I'm saddened that in 50 years no one will uncover diaries. People don't write letters, keep journals or such things as much. Yes, people write email and keep blogs (like this one), but future historians will face a difficult time if people don't start writing things down. I kind of want to go back and print my old blog entries and bind them. Maybe I should.

And by the way, 5 and 7 weeks, respectively, until my two huge papers are due. I might not write much until then.

Cheers!
