hello dear reader(s?),

i've been absent for quite some time and i apologize.  the invisible hand leaves no stone unturned and after some upheaval i have a lot more free time on my hands. i also moved recently. a few other things are looming on the horizon, but i am planning to start giving this blog the attention it deserves once again. it's just a shame that personal issues cropped up right as i began an ambitious daily update regimen. that failure deserves a hearty /facepalm:

anyway, i'll be back to posting regularly asap. in the meantime, you can check out two exciting new tumblr ventures that i started with big dreams of tumblr book deals. literally. i had a dream that i got a tumblr book deal. so one of the tumblrs is spam photography and the other offers a hearty criticism of food blogging, food porn, and la dee da food culture. i imagine both blogs will be of limited interest to anyone who reads this one.
