I’m basically obsessed with grad applications, which are really boring to talk about. It’s down to the wire, but I think I’m actually going to get the first round in comfortably.

I’d much rather be obsessed with Christmas baking.

On the upside, it was really nice to go visit an English prof I haven’t had since third year and have her go “Hi, Brenda!” because she remembered who I am. You don’t really ever think profs remember you from year to year, so it’s nice, to know that I’m more than a number to at least a couple of people at my large, institutional university.

And I think I saw Mark McKinney in the subway again. I can’t believe the Kids in the Hall ride the subway. I bet Kevin McDonald doesn’t ride the subway. Also, I think he lives in L.A. or somewhere cause he’s been on every sitcom ever. You don’t film sitcoms walking up the stairs at Spadina station, that’s all I’m saying.

Also, I’ve stopped being able to fall asleep. And I have pain in my shoulders from holding them so tensely.
