It's Been A Magical Ride!

We haven't posted here in about a year and half. Turns out that when a first-year associate in a major law firm has to choose between meeting a 1,900-billable-hour-per-year requirement and posting regularly on a blog, he's going to choose the one that involves a salary.

Not to fear though, It's A Magical World! will live on in a new format. Brilliant minds hard at work in cyberspace have come up with the latest fad in interactive communications. Late as usual to any new trend, we're hopping on the Twitter bandwagon. This new format lends itself best to quick-hit, stream-of-consciousness observations. Drawn out lists of useless personal information will have to take a back seat. Any biting commentary may have to be just that: biting, as in 140-character sound bites. But we'll find a way to resurrect your old favorites, including top five lists and a modified version of Playing the Spread. As far as everything else, it will be experiment. Working in a profession where the money you earn is directly proportionate to the degree to which you unnecessarily drag things out does not lend itself well to the succinctness required for microblogging. We'll consider it a challenge.

Goodbye from here, and thank you all for your faithful readership over the years. We'll pick up again at www.twitter.com/magical_world. Catch you on the flip side.

We end as we began:
