The moment has come to face the truth
I’m wide awake, and so are you
Do you have a clue what this is? (I don’t know)
Are you everything that I miss? (I don’t hope so)
We’ll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right we’re meant to be
The surface is gone, we scratched it off
We made some plans, and let them go
Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don’t)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)
If things go right we’re meant to be
Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be
The time is here for being straight
It´s not too early and never too late
People say I should watch my pace (What do they know?)
“Think how you spend all your days” (They all say so)
They´ll just have to wait and see (Wait, and see)
If things go right they´ll have to agree
Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be
Do you have the slightest idea (No, I don’t)
Why the world is bright with you here? (Oh, is that so?)
Stay a while and wait and see (wait, and see)
If things go right we’re meant to be
Oh, what a world this life would be
Forget all your technicolour dreams
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be
Forget modern nature
This is how it´s meant to be

Do not go see The Taking of Pelham 123. So bad. And it takes A LOT for me to actively warn against a film. Now, part of the problem is that I know about a) emergency management and b) the layout of the City. But still. Bad acting. As Justin put it; “It was an action movie from 1990.”
Maybe Netflix it to play the following drinking game – every time John Travolta’s character says “f–k,” drink. If he says “Mother F–ker,” do a shot. You’ll be passed out 15 minutes in.Thursday

Why? See that picture up there? That’s James. And James is . . . well, he’s special. Some might use the term “self-absorbed.” Some might use the term “narcissist.” But James holds a very special place in my heart, because James makes me laugh. I laugh when I think about the pictures he posts of himself in absurdly decorated rooms. I laugh about the way he poses and insists on describing what he’s wearing. And I laugh, somewhat sadly, at his sincerity.
I appreciate sincerity. But at the same time – holy crap, how can one wax so poetically so consistently about the “aquas” in the shirt? It’s – it’s amazing.
What is James Wearing? Usually something hilarious, but I really really really want to know.

Okay. So, I’m now sure that I did not accidentally apply for access to the US, but that was, no joke, a moment of panic for me last night. The proper response to my admission of this fear to friends was “so you can get into LSE, but can’t figure out the visa application? Huh.”

I submitted my visa application today. You have to apply online, apparently, if you live in the US. I screwed up by applying more than three months prior to when I want to arrive, which means I may get it approved by have to get there by September 16. Which is about eight days early. But I’m sure I could figure something out. And I have a bunch of documents I have to send, but it isn’t entirely clear to me exactly what they are. I’m waiting for a letter from the loan folks (should get it tomorrow), and I have a letter from my school. Every site says something different, and the UK visa site might as well be written in greek, because I can’t make heads or tails of it. Gotta figure it out in the next week, though, as my biometrics appointment is in early July.
I did get great news this morning though – I got my official housing offer, and I’ll be living in a one bedroom that is bigger than my NYC apartment by half, AND costs just about the same as I’m paying now. I’m really excited about it. As long as I don’t get denied the visa, things are falling into place.

Or perhaps 20% creepier, if you weren’t in on the joke . . .

Afte watching the whole thing (especially the Get a Grip), I realize that I should be more sensitive to the needs that may arise as I age.
But still. This is just . . . huh.
