Completely unrelated to anything: I just realized the meaning of the title: One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest. It's so obvious, amazingly for the last eight years I had absolutely no idea and always had been faintly puzzled why Kescey chose it.
Only Connect . . . . .
Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. -- Howard's End by E.M. Foster

After some trials and tribulations, settled into my new apartment. This new one is a little further away from campus, which will be a hassle. It is not far enough to warrant the expense of on-campus parking, but not close enough to walk briskly to and fro. It gets absurd when I thought about going to work out using the campus gym, but then decided against it because I was too lazy to walk the way.
The room itself is pretty good. Pretty spacious, hardwood floors, a nice view to the street, though the walls are of a weird green color that at night have a oppressive quality. After arranging the furniture I stepped back the room and somehow the room, or the feeling it gave me, reminds me of this this painting. Of course, I hope I have better luck in life than the owner of that particular room.
The house itself is what my landlord optimisitically calls "beautiful Victorian" in the ad. What it really is a just a old, badly-maintained house, with peeling paints, creaky stairs, dark corridors, unworkable windows.
