The Merest Fillip of an Update

Just surfacing again to mention the following things of interest:

1.) I'll be appearing on This American Life this weekend, as they're rerunning "The Devil Inside Me."  My segment is about 12 minutes from the end, and it's my favorite so far of all the pieces I've been involved in.

2.)  I sleep tonight on an actual bed!  Not the bed I ordered.  I ordered a trundle bed, and even though it's been a month, I'm told it's going to take yet ANOTHER month to get the damn thing together.  But they were kind and let me have the trundle part, so I'm sleeping on a twin mattress that can pop up or down, and which is still a million times cooler than sleeping on an inflatable mattress.  (No offense, Trace; it was big of you to loan it.)

3.) This should be my last week without Internet access.  Getting that back will go a HUGE way toward helping me post regularly again.  Woohoo!

4.) Im also hoping to be done with the bulk of the book by the 14th or so, which will free up even more time.  So there's light at the end of the tunnel.

5.)  In the meantime, though, huge push to make a deadline I bet a friend of mine I could reach.  If you thought I was quiet before, just wait for the next two days.  I may not even leave the apartment.
