Status quo ante bellum

I am back from Korea and buried under papers and impending finals. I am sorry about the paucity of content on here lately, but I have been writing some more posts to go up next week, and in the meantime I've put myself up on kouredios' friending meme, since I certainly am going to keep saying things on DW and it'd be nice to have people to say them to. A pre-emptive welcome to anyone new who wanders in, and a reminder that anyone who wants a postcard for the holidays should put their address up on this post, particularly if you've moved in the last year. Yes, that means you.
