unforeseen hiatus
As you probably noticed, this blog on something of an unintentional hiatus. Work, studies, packing and moving, a wonderful surfeit of friends visiting New York this month, and no spare time. Except I'm not in New York at the moment, I'm in Kiev--
--yes, the capitol of the Ukraine. I flew out here yesterday, having only learned that I'd be coming about four days prior (my boss phones from Budapest late last week: I pick up, say hello, she says, Hi! Can you go to Kiev next week?)
It's pretty. I don't speak any Ukrainian, except "thank you." I'm quite jet-lagged, and about to go spend all day in meetings all about media advocacy, press freedom, and journalism for human rights. I'll be back in New York on the weekend--just in time for the last day of Pride--and by then, may have found time to write something.

The more hardcore Ukrainian nationalists would prefer the spelling "Kyiv."
