Thank you and Goodbye**
With an awfully busy next 9 months around the corner, I will have to shut down Mysteries Abysmal. Since all my time will be devoted to literary studies, my musical posts would've been nonexistent (and that was the original intent for starting this blog). It'd be nice just to leave the blog up and update during rare intervals of free time, but Typepad ain't free -- and I'm poor!
So thanks for the comments over the last six months and more importantly, thanks for visiting. Never was too sure what this blog offered or accomplished, but it was quite a bit of fun.
For the bloggers who have kindly linked me to their blogs, I really appreciate it. I will leave this up for a few days and then it's doors closed.
**update: Well, I'll hafta think about it some bit more. I just spent $12 at Standard India Restaurant which could've covered one month of TypePad expenses. Maybe if I budget harder I can keep this thing going.
c'mon, keep it going.
and as for your typepad costs, i'd be happy to contribute a fair share.

Why not start posting about the literary studies, that would be interesting and something other students across the land might dig! And yes, go to blogger - it has all you need. For those abysmal fans that need some daily culture - check out http://FlowFeel.com. Thanx

Yeah, you can't quit, so count me in for sponsoring your blog - if it comes to that. But just know that the money comes out of krimur's monthly "wastrels and orphans" fund, which is overtaxed as it is, seeing as I am both an orphan and a wastrel...
