I’m now in my hotel room–tiny, cramped, and windowless–in New York City; I’ve already had a shower, and I’m looking to sleep off whatever jet lag I have left before embarking on my great adventure of discovery and fulfilling a long-time dream.

Oh, the things we creative types do for our creative pursuits.

But I can’t believe I’m here. In New York City. And that I was able to come on my drastically limited funds. For right now, though, I’m going to get some sleep–I don’t want jet lag interfering with my exploring and research.
