Living in Hartford, for me, demands an impossible combination of plugging my ears while yelling "LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU", and a bloodhound's nose, or eagle eye, or whatever animal cliche you want, for fun. New York is teeming with . something. Something good and bad at the same time. But the important part is that its cup overfloweth.". Side note: I'm fully aware that I titled th...

Near full moon = no sleep. But there I go, rattling on about windows again. I've started (most of these are re-reads):.
