Administrative Note: My Vinyl Weighs a Ton

And that's not just the title of a fantastic Peanut Butter Wolf album, man. Moving, it really DID weigh a ton. I have to give a shout out to Ralphie and Jose, from C&D movers, who moved it, in really hot heat, without a complaint. You guys rock.

This is a short note to let you cats know that I'm almost ready to get back into the game here. The new apartment is set up. The Internet connection is running, though I'm doing the wireless-hijack thing right now. We have a small, TEENY sliver of a view of the Empire State Building. It's a good life.

Random thoughts about New York:
* Cereal is hella expensive.
* Beer, too.
* Ditto, laundry.
* There is music everywhere.
* I'd like to know more about Reggaeton.
* Everyone is skinny.
* I desperately want a green Fendi Spy bag.

I'll holler at you soon. Miss you.
