Omen?

Here is the short version of what will be a long blog entry, complete with pictures.

As I was leaving Chicago for Louisville for the Humana Festival before a day of grad interviews at Indiana. I didn't even make it on to the expressway before I was violently rear-ended. Which caused me to hit the car in front of me (making me the cream in the crash oreo, which is funny since my car is black and theirs were white and silver), did some impressive damage to my car, and generally mucked up my entire day. I am fine. Pissed, but fine. Found that rentals cars are nearly impossible to come by on Sundays, even in a major metropolitan area. But did find a Kia, drove down to Bloomington.

Checked into an EconoLodge where nothing works. The key machine, vending machine, lights, phone. And they think a 15% discount will appease me.

I am trying to remain optimistic about my interview, but after the Cosmic Muffin showed his head, I hide mine in fear.
