To steal from Phil, "This was a triumph"! Or, well, I suppose Phil stole from that cake-game. Anyway. Tonight's staged reading was a total success. They asked us to come back next week and do another reading of the OTHER play I have on the burner, which I'm going to do ( Read more... )

I feel some odd obligation, pressure, or simple thoughtfulness that, with the flood of LJ posts from friends around the world last night and today, I should add myself to the rush. 90 percent of my friends list is made of posts celebrating the election of Obama and remembering Guy Fawkes. It is strange to look down the page between alternating "it' ( Read more... )

Hey to all I missed at Nuit Blanche ( Read more... )

Just posting for those friends in Toronto who might not be on Facebook. I'm throwing a party Saturday night. If you didn't get the invitation and want information, leave a comment and I'll hook you up. Poker and Pinot's is the long and short of the story! Hope to see you all saturday.

I'm not exactly home sick, not like I was in Hong Kong, but I'm finding myself intensely missing something that I also intensely missed while in Hong Kong. It's a reminder of that time, oddly ( Read more... )

Update, dunno how brief I'll end up being. But I am now, finally, settled into Canada. I found a place at the end of last week and moved in on Friday. It's actually right at Yonge and Bloor on top of the Marriott. One might ask how a poor, starving student can afford such posh accommodations, but I am now not only just a poor student, but I am a ( Read more... )

Just dropping a note that I did manage to get into Toronto safely. They even approved my student permit ( Read more... )

Well, I think I get on the road in two days. 99 percent certain. I need to speak with darling Mitchell and Carrie-Anne and clear that it's kosher that I couch surf with them for a few days, and I still haven't heard back from the international student office about how they recommend I go about applying for my student permit when my loans haven't ( Read more... )

I realized that I hadn't actually told my livejournal friends and community that I had made my decision. So yes, it is made, and I am going to Toronto. No, I don't have the loan money yet, but I will be getting SOME loan money and the school let me defer my fees. So, though I don't have money, they don't want money from me yet either, so I can go, ( Read more... )

So, I've been thinking a lot. Dangerous, I know. I still have no clue where I might end up come a month's time. I am still trying for Toronto, but there is a part of me that keeps dragging my feet or misreading information on this student loan stuff and there's a tiny part of my brain that goes, "Am I self sabotaging? Why the hell would I do that ( Read more... )
