hiatus - & a musical interlude

2009 was a giant jump-off into compulsive travel, art worship and project treasure hunting. There's a lot to write about and I think there's also an important balance between just living and having some digestion time to avoid my inner teenage girl commentator, "and then, we totally had a great time, which I'll go into enormous detail about! Though it's only interesting to me!" Perhaps it will be anyway, but I'd like to think that having time between the thing itself and the report will at least improve the general grammar.

A note: for consistency's sake I'm retro-actively dating posts to correspond approximately at the time they happened, so Croatia = June/July 2009, etc.

Now that it's the deep cold of January in New York, with all bank accounts depleted and only the memories to keep warm, I've got the time to put some words and pictures together for last year. And while that happens, I'll be listening to a LOT of Rufus Wainwright.

This one is always my favorite.
