goodbye, hallow

I'm leaving for NY today so I can spend my 24th birthday (tomorrow) with my boyfriend. I'm returning on the 9th, and don't know how much I'll post until then. But here's some of the entries I plan to post soon:

-a question: does Halloween encourage suicidal tendencies? Expect some autobiography and pictures.
-a review of some lit.-related articles I should have reviewed two weeks ago
-random links and other good thought- substitutes
-an apology for not replying to emails that will only be read by the people it's not written for
-a list of actors I find strangely attractive. Or, simply attractive. Either way, it sounds like something I'll probably regret posting, and my readers will find icky.
So, lots to look forward to, including more facile self-deprecation (and then, cheap self-reflexivity). Keep checking back. And the facile self-deprecation: really, I don't like it either.
