Long story short: I'm back in Iowa for the foreseeable future.

( Long story NOT short... [TW: self-harm, suicidal ideation] )

So for want of anything else to do on a Saturday night, I went to Bank of America's website (one of the two banks with ATMs on campus, and the only one off Long Island) and signed up for checking/savings accounts so I can get my New York residency. Monday I'll have to go see what I have to do to change my direct deposit account. :x ( Read more... )

Karl Malden died, at the age of 97. He was in a lot of great movies (and one very great episode of The West Wing), but my favorite is undoubtedly Pollyanna where he plays Reverend Ford.

I went back to Coe tonight to see the play and it was marvelous.

Florence and The Dutchman were both staged as a joint venture called A Dream Deferred, A Race Derailed. A couple of years ago ( Read more... )

So I didn't make show choir. Story of my life.

One less thing, anyway.

Hugs and kisses to roseanna for talking to an upset!me on the phone and talking me down. <3 you honey.

And PBBT to mystery_coffee for being a bitch to my Bethany. I don't think she's getting paid anything for this either, although I don't know how this works out to be a labor of love ( Read more... )
