no offense, but your blog is always the hardest to read, simply because im always insanely jealous of the things you get to do, while i go to school in iowa and have to eat food at a cafeteria (next year i get my own apartment). therefore, im not going to let myself hate your writings any more because you get to eat at wonderful restaurants and then salavating all over my keyboard, wishing i was in NY. so dont worry if you dont get many viewers from iowa (im sure you will have plenty from elsewhere though).
