BU made this really whacked out video to bring awareness to depression on campus and the "depression screenings" they'll be holding later this week. The responses in the vid ranged from, "I don't think it's a problem here" to "Wellll, I don't know anyone" to "Man, I love helping other people work through their problems!", while only one person ( Read more... )

And now I'm going to sleep until it's time to go to work tomorrow morning because I haven't slept since Sunday. It's high time for some long overdue laziness ftw! :D

My mother slammed into a monster Ford Explorer at a toll booth, totaling the front end of her car and rendering it completely un-drivable. Then we took a ride with the nice tow truck man to the middle of butt-fuck nowhere. Took a taxi to Boston, took care of what needed to be taken care of (with the notable exception of moving into my room ( Read more... )
