I got my FA award letter turned in. In two days, I can go to the bookstore and charge my books and school supplies. I haven't been shopping in so long that I'm really looking forward to it. That's terribly sad, isn't it?

I just remembered that Labor Day weekend I'm driving down to Oklahoma City to see The Phantom of the Opera. I'm excited, but I'm not spastic about it or anything. My Phantom obsession has cooled considerably in the last few years. Once upon a time I could tell you the leads in any cast in any production in the world at any given time. Now I don't even know who's in the touring cast that I'm going to see. Still, I'm looking forward to it, and hopefully the trip down and back will be enough to satisfy my travel jones for a while.
