1. Hey – this is a great photoblog

2. Thank you very much Charles – BTW, your pictures from Rome are very beautiful!
   The problem is that I don't want my blog to be a photoblog. I want it to be something more, something special, I want to write something interesting… but I cannot find a topic.
   It's three days I've been searching for a topic that fits, but nothing.
   Ouch, life is so hard!

3. You know what, I think your blog is becoming a blog about searching for a topic for a blog. How's that for a blog topic? Kind of like your "box within a box" analogy.

4. I knew you would have been the first to get it!
   Yes, that's what I want it to be, a search!
   Great, isn't it?

5. Well, a search – indeed, as your Proustian blog title suggests. Or perhaps you could be Dante, guiding us through the "circles" of Warwick (especially, in view of your research, providing a modern version of Cantos 15 and 16 of "Inferno"). Of course, you could do what most bloggers do, and turn it inwards – in search of "the self" (in all meanings of that phrase) or even "the selves" (something which a blog allows you to have). That way you can write about what you like, but always offer analysis of its larger meaning. (And as for the rain in Warwickshire, I guess you can be pleased it doesn't rain burning coal!)

6. The search is an epic one – and it's never gonna finish.
   Yeah, I could say something about my dissertation, but why? I am still studying it, and have no conclusions or definitive truths to tell.
   Turn it inward… mmm… and then my blog would become a home–made version of the Big Brother – but with no winners. What's the point? What for? To satisfy someone hunger for someone else's life? In the end is always like that – you finish to do what other people want you to do.
   I don't know.
   Today I am reflective.
