This year, I hate Year-End-Reviews. Because if I did one for myself, it might look like this:
2008: The Year of the Almosts
January: The Boyfriend Who Shall Remain Nameless (TBWSRN - long and annoying, no?) begins Elusive Job Hunt- all interviews are out of town.
(And before you get all- it’s just your boyfriend, don’t you have [...]
Since I moved into the newest of my new places (I’ve been quite transient lately - another story, for another time), I have been without television. It wasn’t my plan- I just never ordered cable and my late-90’s TV set requires an antenna to pick up any stations at all. It’s an accidental case of [...]
Since my close encounter with moving to DC - when I was scrambling for any morsel of what my future life/job/universe might be like - I’ve been reading several blogs from writers in the area.

*The blog shall also become my stand-in. You might see many, many postings this week.
Now that we have a place, it’s time to shop. Weee!
Because we were unexpectedly de-moved a few weeks ago, we’ve had to embark on a new search: an apartment to fill the de-moving void. This, my friends, is no easy task. Instead of avoiding it like the plague, however, I’ve been doing just the opposite; Craigslist has become my addiction.
When I wake? Craigslist.
Before I sleep? [...]
That’s how it started. Or ended, rather.
