reflectedeveOh, man. :( I really wanted to spend this afternoon writing a big locked post about my pre-grad-school week (complete with pictures), and drawing, and maybe flailing a bit about the new episode of Doctor Who. But, after a long, amazing day of used furniture* shopping and hauling and wandering around a nearby college town discussing nontraditional relationships and artistic influences with my classmates, eating pretty excellent gelato ... I returned home last night mysteriously sans wallet. Today, in between running errands all over the local big box strip (Home Depot gives me such a headache), I was calling multiple shops, university & town police departments, and various offices of my bank (which, as it turned out, had fucked up my change of address), trying to get things sorted out. Bleurgh. Nobody has found my things (either to return them or attempt to make illicit use of my debit card); maybe they fell down a drain? But it's going to be a week or more until I have cash (I can buy groceries with my checkbook) or can make much in the way of online purchases, and I guess I'll have to carry my passport around for awhile.
I just finally got home and had lunch about half an hour ago. Oh, and also? The hot water wasn't working this morning, so I haven't showered. UGH.
But hey. I have internet in my apartment now, as well as actual chairs, and I'm more or less fully unpacked. Tomorrow's orientation! And the summer intern and I did conduct all those errands while rocking out to Ani DiFranco in her car (she is adorable and reminds me very much of home; I'm sad she's leaving this weekend). I still remember all of the lyrics.
Life is mostly awesome, but now I am going to take a shower.
*and clothing - I found this gorgeous vintage black brocade car coat in the basement of an antique store that I am splurging on because I look and feel amazing in it ... bad student.

I've been finding that lately (in these big mid-season arc episodes) I really enjoy them as they're happening (or many things in them, at least), but afterwards I'm sort of left wondering what the hell just happened. I doubt there's any way for them to play this River Song story and leave me feeling fully satisfied and comfortable, but beyond that ... I have more to think about.
