Tony, who follows me to all places, on the large and small scales of relativity, drove me to the teahouse on Shepherd to see Nabil for the first time in what can almost certainly be legitimately counted as at least five years. Nabil's personality has settled down a lot. Law school probably has a grounding effect. It was genuinely enjoyable to sit (or stand, once the teahouse closed and took away its outdoor furniture) around and talk to him for a couple hours. We caught up quite a bit. Such a nice kid.

But now I am back. After a full day of working on assembling the materials for my CalArts application, I am now... assembling them. Hopefully I can put them in the mail tomorrow, because Jan 5 is not the postmark deadline, it's the receive-by deadline.

Hey, I wrote some pretty good songs.

Sent off my rent check and my spring NEC tuition (by USPS) and my CalArts portfolio submission (by FedEx Ground, so it should get there by the 4th or 5th and it's due by the 5th). Now all I have to do is transcribe/arrange the rest of Bohemian Rhapsody. And maybe make Joodles a Christmas present before he gets here. I still have goals! But those were some looming deadlines.
