Forced hiatus

Apologies to my regular readers, but thanks to farking TimeWarner [boo! hiss!], the internet tubes connected to my apartment have been obstructed since last Friday, and this situation will not be remedied until next Tuesday at the earliest. Meanwhile, you are invited to poke around the archives, or explore the rest of the blogosphere, or perhaps even get some fresh air -- like, say, at the Slavic Soul Party/Kronos Quartet hit in Prospect Park tomorrow night.
