I Won't Spill Pants On Your Wine

So there - the New York trip has been and gone, and I told all the stories to so many people already I don't think I will be able to bring myself to write a full report. You want to know something about MoMA or the Upright Citizen's Brigade, or what not to do on the subway, you ask. All right?

In the meantime, I have partaken of my very first Thanksgiving dinner, which featured the companionship of 100% real Indians (from India) and a vegan turkey; made the first step towards a post-PhD world, in which dinners are free and lunches subsidised; and almost denied myself access to most of my money by misclicking a button on the bank's website (BTW, the FairFX people are awesome: they spotted my error and fixed it themselves before any real damage could be done. If you ever need a prepaid currency-exchange-oriented mock credit card, and we both know you eventually will, they're a good choice). ,

I also have a feature slot at the University of Maryland's Terpoets Open Mic on hte 9th, so if you're on the East Coast and feel a craving for poetry, come over.
