So, after TC spent half an hour irately shouting last night about how the landlord asking me to take down my sign was unconstitutional, I reread my lease carefully. Here’s what it says: “RULES & REGULATIONS #12: No signs or placards shall be posted in or about the Premises without the written consent of the Owner/Agent.” I’ll write a formal request for consent today. We’ll see if that accomplishes anything.

In other news, my godsister Tia, who I visited in France in May (ah, happier times) has started her own blog! Well, actually I started it for her, because she mentioned in an email that she was thinking about it. She’s gotten it up and running this week, and it’s already filled with sordid tales of ex-lovers, crates of wine on trains, and other exciting tales of an American in Paris & Marseille. I wish ALL my friends would start blogs. It would make it much easier to keep in touch. Megasoul tried to start one a few months ago, but after seven posts it’s languished in blogspot purgatory. Too bad.
