Oh, still here

I have a new job--not so new anymore, but in any case, it has a different schedule, and cuts into my blogging time. And emailing time--if I owe you an email, it's on its way. But, various updates:

1) Hair is back to baseline. Texture's a bit weird from having been dyed a billion times before returning to dark brown, but otherwise it's beautiful and I rock. Oh yeah! (thank you, Katherine, who finished that sentence for me while I was in the bathroom. And the turn from a "political" blog about France and Jews to a teenager's livejournal is hereby complete.)

2) I may be starting a magazine with someone who happens to be French and Jewish and interested in some of the same (non-hair-related) things as I am. It's likely to be online-only, since where exactly would we get paper? It may happen. It may not. Updates if it does.

3) Is there a way to (re)learn languages within a couple months, one that, at least initially, does not require actually going to another country? Or, for that matter, getting off the couch?
