NYC Xmastime

I've never really thought of myself as a "real" New Yorker, but since I've moved away I've had a hard time looking at this blog and not feeling somewhat distant from it. After all, I had almost 17,000 posts before, all while living in Brooklyn. I don't live in Brooklyn anymore, so I look at all the thousands of daily, mean-nothing posts as I would a scrapbook or journal, which is both really fun and totally depressing.
