i have to apologize if you've been in my company the past 48 hours or so. you may have found me sullen, touchy and, well, bitchier than usual. (which really is kind of balls-out bitchy.) actually, this is really just a public apology to tommy, who's born the brunt of my two-day funk.

you see, late sunday afternoon, i realized that the next day would be monday, march 1st. i don't particularly hate march, but this year it signified something different. something scary. something flat-out terrifying. march 2005 is, for me, the Month of Graduate J-School Applications.

and...you know what? i was going to try to write some sort of funny, meaningful, supsenseful post with an interesting narrative and some good storytelling, but really. screw that.

I FUCKING GOT INTO BERKELEY!!!!!

woot. now excuse me while i go pour myself a glass of wine and peruse the pages of FAFSA's web site.
