Howdy do, internet wanderer. I thought I’d stop in after another busy week to check in and say that NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED. New York is still being New York, lovable and stimulating and wallet-draining to a truly impressive extent. I mean, I’m really seriously going broke here. My bank account balance is dropping like a stone through fresh water. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying the ride well enough. Anyway, it’s not like I have any control over it — I leave the house and the next thing I know I’ve not only spent $10 on subways, I’m in some snotty fantastical Williamsburg club dancing and choking on a fog machine. Then I’m eating sushi and watching Rice play right in front of me in a living room. Then I’m eating the best burrito of my life and meeting up with half of the current and past enrollment of CCS for half an hour. Then I’m eating delicious ramen by accident, and doing yoga, getting ice cream, eating cart tamales, getting snowed on, watching hapkido, all that shit. It’s hard to keep up.

The most important development of all is, however, one which I cannot yet discuss — for reasons of superstition, as usual. Don’t want to jinx it! Or make an informative or entertaining “blog” post! Sorry. I’m not even sure why it’s important that I announce anything on this blog. What the hell is this here for? I’m having a crisis of e-presence.

The least I can give you is this old doodle. As soon as I recover my little scanner from Vermont, I can update you with more current scribblings. Because that’s essential, isn’t it. It’s essential that I do.
