In case any other NYCistas are wondering what that weird sweet smell is, I just called 311 about it, and they connected me to 911 (apparently odor complaints require emergency assistance!), who connected me to the fire department, who said they've been getting calls all night about this, and that it's all over the city, but they don't know what's causing it.
So that's that.
NY peeps. I'll be in your fair city from Nov. 10 to 14th. If anyone is interested in getting together, email me.
Some of you may remember that about a year and a half ago I wrote a comparison paper on the Buffistas and The Bronze. My professor encouraged me to continue my research, so I am now doing an Independent Study. For that IS, I'm conducting a new survey. That survey can be found here: [link]
It will take about 20 minutes to complete, so it's the perfect Friday afternoon work avoidance exercise. And it's fun! I would really like as many people as possible to take this survey. It's mostly multiple choice, so it's easier than the last survey I conducted.
At the end of the survey you have the option to copy the code of a "thank you" and "spread-the-survey" button. Please place that in your LiveJournal or blog to help me get as many respondents as possible.
Thanks!
"My" magazine, Breath &Shadow, profiled me for its new "StaffShot" feature. I talk about writing, religion, the government, and the gospel of Pelecanos-likes-carrots.(I didn't say it like that.) [link] Enjoy.

There's been an escalation in the phishing e-mails targeting Paypal customers: [link]
This one "modifies the DNS server of the local workstation and then deletes itself. All future requests for 'paypal.com' will be transparently redirected to a phishing website. This same DNS server could also be used to redirect requests for additional websites, but it currently appears to only redirect 'paypal.com'."
