Also, terribly keen on the "I am made of poison" shirt. I am so Tina the Troubled Teen sometimes.

Big article on the Channel and movie-type ads in general:

I love the crazed photographer stunt.

Dude, so not into work today. I mean Barron's has a holiday tip in it to buy family members fractional jet share rental cards with $10,000 of flying time on them as "stocking stuffers." For those not in the know, that's about 2.5 hours of flying time at best.

P.S. -- I think Netflix is being passive agressive with me -- I took a really long time ot return a couple of movies, and now they are taking a really long time to send me new ones, but Amadeus and Croupier should be here this weekend. Big giant potato head! Also, seeing Finding Neverland tonight I think.

the news at last

While on one hand this isn't a very big deal (it's not like getting into their three-year program, a process which has been described to me as closely mirroring my conception of hell), on the other hand I've been trying to make this happen for fourteen months and admission is competative and I did have to convince these people that I have training and career behind me.

In short, I got into NIDA, and I am, in fact, really, actually going to Australia.

On the corner by Old Navy I burst into tears and randomly started singing Ani DiFranco's Both Hands. While some people never understood me, I am certifiably a stranger to them now. I hadn't realized that was one of the things this is about, but so it is.

I'm very happy, and FREAKED OUT OF MY TINY LITTLE MIND!
