A summary of the last week or so:

Air Canada finally got me my luggage back, intact; my bank sucks and still hasn't cleared the cash I deposited last Monday (which means I'm late on rent); had a very small but fun New Year's Eve gathering - a coupe friends, nachos, and video games; I made delicious spinach and cheese stuffed mushrooms for dinner; I'm playing FF6 again - starting from the beginning, as I've forgotten all the plot; have a new layout for T-T.org almost finished; classes start up again tomorrow.

I'm pretty concerned about the bank issue - I deposited the cash along with a US cheque at an ATM, because the bank was closed early (three pm, what the hell?). I'm afraid they've decided to slap the cash with the fifteen-day hold they give the US cheques, which means I'm going to have to borrow money to pay this month's rent, and be broke for the next two weeks until it clears. Gah.
