that makes either four or five formal e-mails to amherst and the university of turku combined this morning asking them to clarify their wobbly and vague bureaucratese. i fear i am losing track. and there seems to be a possibility i will have to *fax* a signed request to amherst. naturally i have no fax machine. to top all of this off, turku appears to want the supplementary materials for study abroad ENCLOSED, whereas amherst purses its lips in a superior manner about letting official documents pass through the students' own grubby hands. says the registrar, 'it will be marked 'sent to student' even if sealed and signed across the flap.' thanks for the heads-up, guys. now watch none of them respond! this is so fun. if i shade my eyes i can see may 9 in the distance.

everyone in the world already read it this morning.

wah.

in other news, kirk and spock!

when you say it's going to happen now, when exactly do you mean?

finished a chair! i almost have enough money for a passport. however, i've also got to mail a package, so i suppose i'll not get a checking account until after i have finished another chair. mom offered me $75 for it, which is frankly about half what it's worth, but i'm not sure i can talk her into paying any more, and of course, it will be nice to have all the chairs we're currently using done. the chipped mint julep look is just not good for the kitchen.

blockbuster has one copy of each volume of the collected qaf, which meant i had to get the first one on vhs or wait. plus side: saw dvd of the wrath of khan. with interviews and director's cut! would write twok fic just to have fun with that brilliant suede jacket. unfortunately, i don't want to touch the ending with a ten-foot pole. of the movie, that is.

my family has this disease that causes them to go to the mall when they don't have any money. really, it's not fun at ALL.

chinese takeout, while not exactly fun, is at least tasty.

er.
