Blurred Line

I was really hoping to get my acceptance/rejection letter today from Clarion (since it's now been eight weeks, which they're quoting as their response time) so that I'd have one less thing on my mind while writing my massive essay this weekend. No such luck. Personally, waiting for a letter from them has been making me way more anxious than I ever was while waiting for letters from universities I'd applied to. Probably because with school I knew I'd get in somewhere. Anyhow, my fingers have been crossed for so long that they've become grotesquely fused. If nothing else comes of my Clarion application, at least I can scare small children with my deformed hand.

Other things I'm waiting for: NHL playoffs. I was at the Sens game on last night (they lost, unfortunately - and even worse they lost to Montreal, so half the crowd was made up of Habs fans) and the atmosphere at the rink that night has me really looking forward to the playoffs, which roll around in about two weeks. Looks like the Sens will end up taking on one of Montreal, New Jersey or Tampa in the first round, all of which would be entertaining matchups.

A Scanner Darkly: Reputedly the most faithful adaptation of a PKD novel ever made, this flick's opening up on July 7. And the groovy animation looks fantastic:

And, of course, the end of school. Coming 10:00 PM on April 25th. I'll be relieved, exhausted, and probably a little bit depressed about spectacularly failing my final exam.
