Newsy bullets
Today we have small doses of good news.
- My brother gets out of jail on Wednesday instead of Sunday--six days instead of 10.
- I completed all the tasks listed a post below before my mom got home. (There really were liquor bottles in the computer room, but of the three, one was still-sealed Almendrado that I bought here to take back to St. Louis because it's so difficult to get there, and another wasn't mine.)
- I rewatched A River Runs Through It on Friday. Oh, I knew what I was getting into. I think people should have a funny relationship-test movie and a sad relationship-test movie. River is my sad one.
- Though I sadly have not played darts since I came back to Colorado, I have played several good games of pool.
- Today was a day during which I deliberately accomplished nothing. Now that it's on into evening time, I'm allowing myself to accomplish a few things.
- I had brunch with Poetry Pal Aaron today. (I once started an e-mail to several Colorado Springs poets "Dear Poetry Pals," and he liked it because it made us sound like a low-budget superhero group.)
- I only have one manuscript left to send out for my big June push.
- Yesterday, I officially decided that I'm going to reapply to MFA programs for the Fall 2009 semester.

Re: the MFA...Where did you apply? Where might you apply? It's been so long since I was in grad school that I have no idea what the competition is like anymore. What has your experience been with this?
Are you heading for a low res. MFA program? As someone who is perfectly happy with her job (and it's a relatively secure job in this day and age), I'm always eyeing low res programs wondering...
Angela: I won't be applying anywhere until this fall. I'll be applying to Vanderbilt for sure, because my old advisor encouraged me to do so now that they have fully funded fellowships. I'll likely apply to a few other places as well.
Simmons: Just back here for a couple months of visiting.
Karen: No, I don't want to do a low-res MFA. I can't take 10 days off from my management job for the residency part, and I want the longer-term group of an in-person program.
