You see this? I'm opening up my own hotel!

The wifi I'm using isn't allowing me to respond to comments. So -- sorry. I'm not ignoring you; I just can't respond. I am indeed sad to be missing 5/6ths of my nieces' and nephews' birthdays...I included the On the Road quote for the writerly part, not the Deanerly...and I was being melodramatic yesterday. We all have a role to play, and this actor tends towards the melodrama of the Russian Epic Theatre tradition.

Pretty soon I'll be playing the role of fanboy rather well: one of the professors with whom I'm working is the granddaughter of a Stalinist architect, his sole inheritrix, and has a grand collection of his notes, correspondence, and memoirs.

I also went out to my favorite, the Theater on the Taganka, and got tickets for a couple of their upcoming premieres.

I do miss New Hampshire, and I miss the ocean; watching oil swirl in puddles isn't quite the same as watching the waves, but it's good to be back in town.

NH misses you too, love. Not sure about the ocean - she's a hard one to read. ;)

Also: "inheritrix"? Brilliant.
