third time's a charm

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.
