I accidentally navigated away.

Still no word from people. Whatevs. Not going to go too crazy. Mid-Feb is the rule for most of them, esp. the state schools, as some of them have a school-wide fellowship competition that gets results in mid-Feb, so they only get back to the very top of the pile who they would fund regardless of how many people get funding from outside the department. At least, that's what I presume based on discussions and what I read on their sites, and I infer that based on the trickle of results as well. My credentials are good, but my relatively low GPA doesn't put me in competition for that level of funding.

my pocket used my cell phone to set up a mystery appointment for me.

I don't know how to do that on purpose.

Yes, she hates Weezer. Why am I hanging out with these people? because they are awesome. Also, because they are 256 and e. the two may be synonymous.

Last night S and I watched Pina in 3D at the local megaplex. An outstanding homage to an avant garde dance icon I knew nothing about.

A trickle is coming out of the schools I applied to, but no word yet. It seems they work through the submissions, perhaps, before sending out all the acceptances, and my record, though good, isn't good enough to be in the very first pile of unconditional admits.

Though you die in combat gory,
Ye shall live in song and story.
Go to immortality!
Go to death, and go to slaughter;
Die, and every Cornish daughter
With her tears your grave shall water.
Go, ye heroes, go and die!
