Just popping on to say I couldn’t quite rustle up the energy to post today. Though, now I guess I’m making a post about not posting. Is that redundant? Oh well. We’ll leave that question to the philosophers. Though if they ever stoop so low as to debate the importance…

Still alive. Still looking. I have discovered one benefit of visiting so many apartment complexes is that the sales agents there seem to believe that plates of chocolate chip cookies will greatly increase their chances of securing a lease.
