three weeks in and already i am wondering when my next stipend cheque will come, because having no money is an overwhelming reality and certainly the cry on everybody's lips. there are course books i have not yet bought, and this semester's housing bill will be here any day now. i need lamps and fans and carpets. i am ravenously hungry all the time. and yet what i really want to do with what money i have left is to buy robert aickman's collected strange stories in two volumes. how now?
