Anyway, despite the major award that’s been bestowed upon me, I have a slight problem–I’m an idiot. As you can imagine that leads to a whole host of other problems but my idiocy, in this particular case, has led to the possibility of me not being able to make it to NYC on the 8th. You see, I assumed that the movie premier would be on a Saturday. Maybe you fancy pants New York types go to these sorts of things every other week and know how they work, but me being a simple Midwesterner currently living in Jesusland, VA, I have no knowledge of such things. The problem is that while I have Thursday off, I have to teach on Friday and don’t relish the possibility of having to make the 7 or so hour drive home in the wee hours of Friday morning to make my 10:00 class (hopefully still drunk). I’ll see what I can do about getting someone to cover my classes, though.

Thanks again, I’m truly humbled.
