The Escape Artist

Well, keeds, the Materialist is off again, this time to Buenos Aires.

A few of the Materialist's readers have somehow gotten the notion that the Materialist's life is "fun," that it involves frequent trips abroad, and that this blog is little more than a bragging rights platform.

This could not be further from the truth! The Materialist is here to say that the (admittedly wonderful) trips of the past three months have been little more than fluke and circumstance, and to assure everyone that 80 to 90 percent of her year is spent bitter and Manhattan-bound, only dreaming of more fabulous places and people.
