Way behind on my blogging . . .

So in the weeks since I last wrote, one or two things have happened.

I made plans to move to Chicago for law school.
I gave notice at work and scheduled a Chicago apartment hunt.
I tried not to be spastic about moving halfway across the country to a city where I don't really know anybody, and instead to be thrilled about the wonderful school I would attend, the new friends I would make, and the new baseball stadia I would frequent.
I made plans for a "So Long, Stink Town" party so I could say goodbye to my NY friends.

Then I got into NYU Law.

NYU LAW!!

So I have the satisfaction of knowing I would have moved for the right school--and it would have been great--without actually having to, you know, bundle a screaming cat into the back of my sister's car. I get to go to an amazing school, start a whole new chapter in my life . . . and my commute will actually be shorter! SWEEEEEEEET.

This made Independence Day an even more festive affair than usual, especially since some long-departed friends have recently moved back to New York. So lovely an occasion was it, we did not mind mildly obstructed fireworks:

Of course, I had to cancel the "So Long, Stink Town" party, and instead marshalled the troops for an "I ♥ Stink Town" party (that's a [heart] if your browser doesn't catch the code). Needless to say, it ruled.

And lastly, I have continued to document the, um, forthright little delights that make Stink Town so damn lovable:

I love that it is signed by the plant. So magical.
