down and out

I just finished Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. What a futuristic joy-ride, like Neal Stephenson on crack minus the cataclysmic ending. After chapter four, I couldn't put it down (or rather, turn it off, since I was reading off my computer screen), but it's left me feeling hollow and lonely.

In other news, I finished the second round of applications, talked with my Seattle advisor, and went to a Jazz game (more later) today, and tomorrow I start painting constellations on the ceilings of my cousins' rooms. I also have CHI work to do. I should sleep up.
