coming to you, at last, from NE DC ... and chaos abating

I know I said my hiatus was only to last for the duration of August. I know. However, I've had a handful of internet connectivity issues at my new place and my designated work space is only just now beginning to look like something hospitable enough in which to live -- let alone in which to write.

So, this is just to say that my Project Runway money is on Korto this season.

And, after spending a least 2 hours hanging out with my building's chief internet dude this evening (OK, most of that time was because I locked myself out of my condo and he was immensely patient -- and generous with his cellphone minutes-- while we waited for the locksmith (Mercury damn well better give up this retrograde motion nonsense, and quick!)), I have a powerful and robust signal coming from my brand new wireless booster. And that means I can write more to you soon. Soon!

P.S. Shout out to the guy behind a persistently recurring IP address. Thanks again for opening my eyes (through physical coercion) to the above.

P.P.S. T-minus two days until the movers come for all my most unweildy possessions. Maybe when that's over, I can quit dreaming of attempting to euthanize animals... and of succeeding only in mutilating them very badly. Yeah. This has not been an easy transition. But it's almost over.

And then! I can resume my bloggish delights.

August seems like as good a month as any to take a little hiatus.

I know every time I say I'm going to take a break from blogging, I start writing again-- and that may well happen. But for right now, closing on this condo and moving and having my family in town as my tag-team Moving Aid Committee and all the rest of the vigorous activity that goes along with THAT are making this blog feel like just another thing on my to-do list.

So. I may or may not post between now and August 31st (the day on which I have to be out of my current apartment). I may or may not have something noteworthy to say between now and then. I may or may not lose every last one of my marbles before you hear from me again.

Jon and I are really trying to get our acts together to post some more over on film/foreplay... so hopefully you will see more activity there soon. And, in the meantime, you can all busy yourselves with reading the interesting internet contributions of people in my blogroll. Yes. See that long list of links over there on the right? Yeah, that one. Go there. Click on stuff. Be amazed.

Ciao for now, mes amis!
