This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. Well, school officially kicks off tomorrow and I still haven’t wrapped up this ridiculous summer distraction. At the end of the 3rd competition, we had Toby Dog [...]
Here’s the thing about moving to a new city: You can’t see it, but there’s a really, really tiny circle labeled “things I say to cute guys I meet at bars.” Anyway, there’s a whole lotta family stuff happening this week.

My first full weekend in the city was less than eventful. I spent some time wandering around the Upper West Side, jogging along Riverside Park, and generally getting to know my neighborhood better.
