Below is part of a mass email I sent out from my new address. If you didn't get it, you should write me at chris.said at [google's email service] so that I can get your address. It's also possible that I left you off the list because you already knew I switched accounts.

Friends,

First of all, apologies to anyone overlooked on this list. If you have received this, I've saved your address from before or I got it from the Facebook. If you didn't, I probably lost your address accidentally or wasn't able to track it down.

I've decided to phase out my Hotmail account, which is something I should have done a long time ago. From now on, use this address to get in touch with me.

If you didn't already know, I've been in London for the past 6 weeks on a work abroad program and will probably stay into the summer. I've got a job stacking books at Borders, which is actually a lot more interesting than I imagined. Everything is going so well here -- I've been able to meet plenty of Brits and Americans, and if I wasn't going to graduate school in the fall I might have even considered staying
here. When I come back to the States I'll write up a much longer account of my impressions and experiences here.
