Am I ready for some football? Uh, no. I have enough on my mind right now without having to be reminded in every comedian’s monologue that I’m a Bengals fan, thank you very much. On another note, I’ve made the initial cut for MFA programmes I want to apply to. This is just a preliminary list, because I still need to wotk this out with my advisor, but for now here’s where I’m hoping to be studying a year from now: Antioch University Los AngelesBowling…

Thanks to the FF7 fans for the show of support on GameFAQs, but don’t you think you could have come one battle sooner?!? (I’m obsessed, I know.)
Right now it’s sixty-two degrees outside with a biting wind, oppressive clouds and a constant, unrelenting stream of rain that depresses everyone. I do so like it when the weather outside matches my mood inside. One week of classes in the bag, and I don’t know how I’ll survive this semester.
