About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: Suspended animation

October 27, 2009 by Terry Teachout

catnap.jpgToo much stuff to do, too many shows to see, not enough time to blog. I’m going to take the rest of the week off (except for the daily almanac entries, the weekly video, and the usual theater-related postings) and leave you in the hands of CAAF and Our Girl.
I am, however, working on an update of the right-hand column. Over the weekend I pruned a couple of dozen blogs that are no longer active out of “Sites to See,” and I also added several new blogs that are worthy of your attention (some of which are by previously quiescent bloggers who have kickstarted themselves). All of the latter are marked with an asterisk. I plan to continue sprucing up the blogroll, and I’ll also be posting new Top Five, “Out of the Past,” and “TT Elsewhere” picks, so keep your right eye peeled.
I wish I could take a nap now, but deadlines beckon, so instead I’ll imagine what it might feel like to do so. In the meantime, see you later.
