My apartment was destroyed in a blazing inferno last night.
I'm not kidding.
I got my laptop out. I'm okay, my roommate's okay, and oddly enough, most of my personal possessions, including my sofa, look very salvagable: just smoke and soot. I think the stuffed hedgehogs will pull through. The firemen were all very nice, and my landlord has been awfully swell about this too.
I'll e-mail people once I get my laptop hooked up to the Internet somewhere. I got a cell phone this morning, so I can hook you up with the number. To make things easier, I'll be using my Gmail address for a while: I am prancelot, at et cetera.
Right now I'm still in a not-really-sure-how-to-react phase. We'll see how long this lasts.
It could easily have been a lot worse.
