exciting times

It has been an incredible past week (or two weeks).

Today's sea change was an epic moment in our generations' and country's history. For the first time -ever- I can say I'm proud, maybe even excited to be American.

It's a great day to be a New Yorker, too. There is some wild celebrating happening in the streets. Some passionate excitement. Maybe even trumps that in the streets of Paris that I got to experience after the French national team won the semifinal in the World Cup.

Unfortunately I am a working stiff in my first week at the new office so I can't be wild tonight- had to leave the party to people who looked like they could rise to the occasion of partying for them and me.

I've been on a blog hiatus, totally overwhelmed with socializing every night since I flew in, and settling (well, beginning to) in The City. I moved into a 2-month loft sublet today (in SoHo, oh my), however, and actually landed in a space with lots and lots of room (and a photography studio complete with live-in Newfoundland dog), so I'm going to detox and relax a bit now that I have some personal space again. Fun as bunking with close friends is, it's nice to not be constantly stuffing wads of clothing into my suitcases to keep a tiny bedroom maneuverable, an then reapplying those same wads of clothing for work in the morning.
