Here I am on a Sunday afternoon, hacking away at a short story heavily inspired by T.S. Eliot and listening to the Who.

Two journalpoints to anyone who can figure out what song I'm listening to and gets the joke.

How well do you know Meredith's friends?

To commemorate the end of my first year here, I've put together a little matching game. I've mentioned in my journal a number of people that I've met for the first time since coming to Iowa. Based on what you know of their personalities, see if you can match the quote to the friend! Each name is used once.
