Dispatch from the District

Greetings! It's been a while since I posted... well, it's been a while since I've had internet access. My arrival to the District was rough and at point absurd. Long story (which is soon to come in full) short, I got temporarily bumped from my apartment to the luxurious Holiday Inn. My stuff is pretty much still in the apartment building, but I've been bumming computer access in the meantime and I'm not sure if the soft deadline for having my room ready by Tuesday will be met. So until I get up and running in the confines of my own apartment, the posting may be spotty. Don't worry, though, I'm still alive and am currently enjoying the nice, therapeutic rumbling of thunder accompanied by lightning which conveniently knocked out the cable to our room's TV. Suffice to say, the only thing I have going for me at this point is a $100 credit for room service. That may be the only thing keeping me going right now. I'll update more when I can.
