The Impala's Trunk

Good news: The UP Fine Arts Class of 2007 had its Thesis exhibit opening last night, and I was given the Award of Merit for my paper ("Utilizing Color as the Primary Vehicle for Storytelling in Visual Media"). The exhibit is in the V-mall Lobby (greenhills), and it'll run until March 31. Please feel free to drop by if you have the time!

Bad news: I went to the Japanese embassy and they haven't released my visa due to a discrepancy in my middle name in my birth certificate and passport (Ang as opposed to Angtenghim). I have to go back on Friday with more documents, and that's when I'll find out if I've gotten it.

If I don't get my visa, I'll be the only person in the entire history of the University of the Philippines exchange program to be fricking turned down.

I feel ill.

So. The good news is that we have DSL working at home, but the bad news is that it is moving at a bitterly slow pace.

To everyone that I haven't yet replied to-- this is because I keep getting 404s whenever I try to comment/reply or check mail. I have to get net access at Seattle's Best through GlobeQuest's wifi just to get a decent signal (I'm assuming their lines weren't that affected by the earthquake), and it's twice as expensive than regular net cafes.

I have prince of tennis art on the way, I just haven't managed to upload them without timing out. BASTARDS.

That said, I will go drown myself in overpriced coffee now. >:(
