The Good News:
- I drove my new car for the first time this weekend. She is quite possibly the smoothest and sexiest female I know. Her name is Sydney and I want to kiss her.
- I also had monster tax returns--a windfall that will allow me to replace my graphics card. Huzzah!
- My Contemporary Poetry course continues to kick serious ass.
- The release of Batman Begins gets closer every day.
The Bad News:
- I am now paying for my two remaining (overloaded) semesters with no help from my parents. The decision wasn't a righteous one, or meant as a gesture of tough love, there's just no money left.
- My mother also managed to screw up my credit by doing something with one of my bank accounts nine months ago. I don't know what she did, but I was flagged as a delinquent for owing Webster Bank $205. That account was closed about nine months ago. The odd thing is that I was flagged by the Waterbury branch, which I have never set foot in. Coincidentally, my mother used to work down the street. I'm not angry per se, I'd just like to know what the Hell happened.
- My cousin is getting married (at my aunt's house) in July. I was told yesterday that the service is black tie. This means that I have to buy a suit to wear in ninety-percent humidity in the dead of summer. Honestly, I need a suit. I wasn't planning to buy one until I moved, though.

And I'm incredibly excited for Batman Begins. The HD trailer is enough reason to have upgraded to OS X 10.4.
Oh yeah. Regarding banking: If you've had an account closed at a negative balance, it stays on your record for 7 years, and will by law prevent you from opening a new account for at least a year. Don't close the account you currently have until it's cleared up, because you won't be able to open a new one when you move. It's much easier to bank remotely than it is to go without a bank account. Also, make sure the balance owed is paid in full as soon as humanly possible. That'll increase your chances of opening a new account.
Also, I need your new address to put in my files. Please send me an email with it.
