Hey y'all. Sorry to be gone so long (again). As I told my friend E, it's the day-to-day lack of pressure of not having a job that's leading me to slack off so much. After all, things can always get done tomorrow, right?

Anyway, one of the things I have been doing is submitting photos of my apartment to Apartment Therapy's Smallest-Coolest apartment design contest. So far I'm not getting plaudits for my design sense (this crowd is very into the sleek, spare (boring!) modernist look), but I have had people comment that they'd like to have brunch at my place. But only if I serve waffles! (How'd they know that was what I fixed for the Aussie and I this morning? They were only toaster waffles, though.) So go check it out and throw me a vote if you like what you see.
