New York Livin'

I arrive in New York, disconnected and discombobulated, and, after two days, finally find an internet cafe, only to realize that, in addition to missing two full days of news and blogging... I've missed two full days of TNR's Oscar blog. What next? Truthfully, I don't even want to know.

At least I'm pretty through with the boxes.

PS -- It's a very, very odd experience to go without internet for two days. Not only is it mildly panic-inducing for a news junkie like me to lose all track of the hour-to-hour developments of the news/blog cycle, it's sort of shocking to realize how much I rely on the net for basic information--where stores are located, driving directions, coffee shop open and close times, directions on how to put together prefab furniture. I'm sure this is somewhat exacerbated by the whole moving-to-a-strange city thing (I probably know only slightly more about New York than I know about astrophysics), but still: the internet is seriously like my second brain.
