The Busy-ness of Life
Hello again -- this is the first post in a long while, and apologies all around to those who have been valiantly bugging me (or just awaiting my return) to continue blogging :)
Life has been so busy lately -- i thought last year was crazy, but this one has been full-on, non-stop 24/7 ever since my family drove up here with me to help me move. Well, to be honest, they also came along to tour around A2 and see the U of M, and i hope they enjoyed it. I did! We also stopped in 'Retarded Cleveland' (why is it retarded?) for a night, seeing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which was pretty cool. Since that time, i've moved out of my old apartment, lived in my new roommmate Josh's old house for a few days, stored my stuff at Josh's, Rachel's, and in the Firestone Service Center (the latest location being because my car had a nice ol' gasline leak that required my car [and all my stuff in it] to be impounded for a few days while they repaired it). Finally i arrived in my new place, got settled in, helped Rachel move into her new place, saw the return of my friends including srah from France, and began the life of a 2nd year SI student.
I intend to blog more later, but here is something to say hello and prove i am still here. On that note, i have some work to do, so until next time... :)

I believe it's Retarded because Polly had to go there so often for wedding preparations.

I think you need the MT-Blacklist plugin. I bet the Anders-thing scared you!

I'm glad you're back. While I am recovering I will have something to read.

The steeped irony, of course, is that while living in NYC, among the hustle and bustle and "organized chaos", your blog became rich with insight, delight, and frequency. Now, back in A^2, you lack the time (or maybe the richness of experience as you had here) to blog again.
Also, I find my own self-diagnosis-neurosis interesting: while you blogged about NYC (often about our shared experiences), I found it in appropriate to comment. Now, that you're back in Ann Arbor, I'm blathering on...

Hope you have a good semester, Matt! Btw, if you or anyone else wants a gmail invite, let me know (preferably by e-mail: astern@law.uconn.edu or agtshadow@gmail.com). I have 5 to give out atm. Cheers from Hartford!

Yes Kyle, i think i lack both time and interesting new experiences... at least blog-worthy ones. Plus i was sorta blogging for my U-M friends who weren't with me in NYC - now i'm with them alot. But i guess i can blog for my non-A2 friends!
And Hi Alan! :) Yes, i already have a GMail acct, and 6 invites to give away myself (i gave out one and got another one already!).

Poor Matthew-- his Ann Arbor friends are unblogworthy and time-consuming! ;)
Maybe you should tell them about Michigan's exciting bottle deposit system...
