But the Twinkies arrived. Namely, an acceptance letter to University of Texas Arlington, my last-ditch back up school. Of course Portland > Texas (sorry MC Router, Funimation, ADV,) but it’s nice to know atleast two schools thought I was worthwhile. Back to waiting for frosting.
Why is “accepted” my word for relief? Because the 10 (terribly dull and bureaucratic) college applications I submitted have yielded their first acceptance letter (specifically to Portland State University in Portland, OR.) There’s the cake, every letter after this is the frosting, and now I can stop worrying whether the 600 or so bucks those applications cost were worth it and whether or not I’ve got a school come January. The baseline goal has been achieved.
Also, I cleaned my room up a bit today too. Nice to have the space open. 
Nope, it’s not a feud, but rather a little collaboration on a cover of Weezer’s “The World Has Turned and Left Me Here.” Shael takes lead vocal duties while I do backing vox and production. It was fun to do, hope y’all enjoy it.
Oh, and if you just want to listen to it in a convenient, in-browser flash player, it’s up on Shael’s Sixty-One page too.
As, in I’m on Chicago Public Radio. Right at 3 minutes and 45 seconds. It’s a clip of me from Nerdcore For Life, and yes, it is exceedingly nerdy. No name drop though, but hey, maybe This American Life can end up using some of the documentary in a future episode.
