Went up to see financial aid people (OSFA) yesterday about $1000 that was not sent. Kept being politely told that request was probably just being processed, lost in mail, eaten by dog, etc. Was v. insistent, as have had dealings with OSFA before and know how they operate. When finally convinced loans counselor to check fucking computer record, counselor made funny face and said "well, that's unexpected. It looks like we really aren't processing it at all and just blew you off."

Flicked counselor off and shouted, "Well, that is unexpected! Nothing at all like I've been saying for the past quarter hour! And totally not in line with the usual M.O. of this fucking office-load of incompetents!"

Then suddenly cut back to five minutes ago, early-Ally-McBeal-style, and said, "Well, someone probably just didn't see the note. No big deal."

Anyway, $1000 is now actually being processed. Will take a week. Then will have some other random delay, to be sure. Fucking OSFA.

Sarcasm update: vicious.

New roommate has sort of moved in. Haven't actually seen him but have heard loud, drunken poker anecdote from other room. New roommate has sizable dog. Like dogs, but don't know what dog will do when backyard is parking lot. Also hope dog won't have to get ass whooped by cat.

Annoying person behind me jabbering loudly on cell phone. Am going to petition SGA to have loudmouth girls with cell phones banned from SLC. And dropped into deep pit full of vipers.

Trip to Alpharetta uneventful. What a surprise.

Am going to buy new computer. Current computer is, by rough reckoning, five or six years old. 466MHz processor, 6GB hard drive, VooDoo3, stock internal sound card; which is to say, current computer v. v. shitty. Has serious difficulty with photoshop images larger than postage stamps, completely incapable of playing even titchy quicktime movie previews, won't run any game less than four years old.

Have become oddly proud of intense shittiness of computer. But not too proud to replace it.

CK has gotten fucking iPod mini. Suspect fucking iPod more powerful than my computer. Suspect if CK doesn't stop gushing about fucking iPod, fucking iPod will meet with unfortunate accident. Word "fucking" new prefix for "iPod". Certainly makes more sense than "i" prefix, which means absofuckinglutely nothing; "fucking-i" perhaps means "fucking irritating."

"Absofuckinglutely" prime example of infix. Linguistics classes paying off.
