This blog has attained the lucky third strike of unintentionally offending people I actually like, so it's time to wipe the slate clean and start over, blog-wise, that is.
However, I rather enjoy my cozy little family of 11 regular readers, and I think the simple act of blogging is good for me. What's not so good for me is being embarrassed by the content of previous posts. Unfortunately, this sometimes happens despite my best efforts to prevent it--for about a month over the summer, this blog appeared when someone searched my full name, even though I had very assiduously removed all instances to my full name over a year ago.
For the reasons cited above, I've decided to shelve the old blog and all its pesky google-cached archives and start afresh, with a brand new mission statement and everything! This way, when someone from a museum googles me and I don't know if it's an old professor or one of my friends who's got an internship there, I feel [mostly] confident they won't run into any unflattering posts. I may transfer some of the completely inoffensive/unembarrassing-in-any-way posts over in a few days, but the archive thing... there are four years of annoying archived posts that I just can't deal with "draft"ing.
So welcome again to my blog of random observations on New York, art, grad school, and the absurdity of my everyday life.

g! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO NOW? you gotta stop. pissing. people. off. or hang out with people who aren't so f@$*ing thin-skinned. jesus.
g, I just want you to know that it wasn't THAT bad. I am looking into my heart and trying to find a way to forgive you. I mean, sure, I was hurt, but how could we have been friends all these years if we couldn't laugh about things. Let's let bygones be bygones, and I'm sorry about what I said about "having you killed." I'm sure I can get that called off.
oh, damn. i liked looking at the pictures of your africa trips. i liked hearing about your escapades. please have more escapades and write about them.
@d: Oh, you know. The usual. the worst part was that I'd actually gone through the blog to try to remove all proper names and whatnot, but the post in question was so old I'd forgotten about it. Sigh.
@M5K: Thanks for not having me killed. Your magnanimity means more than I can say.
@karin: There are more where that came from, you know. Sadly, it seems that I can't NOT have escapades. So it turns out your wish is my command.
