Going on hiatus

Effective immediately, I am placing this blog on hiatus. I don’t want to say for exactly how long, because I’m not sure how long; the circumstances which made this necessary are unlikely to change for at least another month.

I will leave the archives up in the interim, but will not be adding any new updates. I do intend to resume this blog at some point, so I will also be leaving the Facebook page and Twitter account active.

My reasons for doing this are multiple and varied, but the reasons have this in common: personal circumstances which make it awkward, uncomfortable, and of dubious appropriateness for me to continue to update this blog.

This was not an easy decision. I have posted thirty-six weekly LOVIEEs, nine monthly LOVIEEs, three special edition LOVIEEs, and eleven recaps. That’s a lot. I’m sorry if my remaining loyal readers out there feel I’m hanging you out to dry. I’m not; if you’re looking for stuff to do, there’s Do713.com, which is having a launch party this Saturday at Caroline Collective (4820 Caroline).
