Alright, alright!

It's been a month since I updated this thing and I've been getting complaints. I'm fine, I'm still alive. I used to wonder how this lapse in posting thing could happen on other people's blogs and now I understand. It's not so much that life gets too busy to post, but more like it gets too routine.

I moved. I'm living in Osu, for people who know Accra, and it appears to have been a move for the better. No housegirls cruising by the windows at 5 a.m. with their eyes peeled for signs of the obruni sleeping in her underwear. No battle ax old ladies screaming at the housegirls. No random screaming fits about the previous tenants or the bills they left behind. No workmen traipsing through at 8 a.m., leaving their boot prints on the floor, their work clothes in the kitchen and their dirt on the furniture. Instead, I'm in a one-bedroom oasis, where the only problem appears to the chronic demands from the day guard.

I am still working for JHR. I'm still working as a freelancer. I've just sent off my pitch to a couple agents and am hoping to hear that the book will go ahead. I am settling in and making friends and generally living life.

Essentially, nothing worth blogging about!
