I really want to do a proper post today, but it's difficult. I would ordinarily take the easy way out and do a video post, but I'm packing up my apartment in my underwear (it's too dang hot), and neither my apartment nor I are in any way camera-ready.

I'm sorry I've been so un-posty. When I got back from Roosevelt Island, I came smack up against the realization that I have very little time left in New York, and I've been trying to make it count, along with researching CDale and getting ready to make a trip to the Midwest to apartment hunt.
