"Puppet wrangler? There weren't any puppets in this movie!" – Crow T. Robot
From an article in today’s student paper:
“I think the new theater is much, much better than this one,” Eduardo Aguirre (senior-management and international business) said while standing outside Cinema 6 on Benner Pike. “This theater is the worst one I’ve ever seen in my life, and I am from a third world country.”
The new theater really is much nicer.
Sometime in the very near future, I’m going to have to make a decision: stay in Pennsylvania with the current job and limited prospects for new (paying) opportunities, go back to New York with no guarantee of a better job but more prospects and the safety net of having family there, or go somewhere else (possibly at random) with no guarantee, no safety net, and little but hope to guide me. For all my talk of using this year to come to a decision, for all the job applications I’ve sent out or leads I’ve investigated, I’m still no more sure than I was this time last year. If I’m going to sign an intent to renew my lease — or if I’m going to settle on somewhere else to move — I’m going to have to do it within about a month and a half. That kind of worries me.
Well, it’s not quite “we’ve discovered life”, but it’s still pretty exciting news: Opportunity Rover Finds Strong Evidence Meridiani Planum Was Wet.
There’s nothing quite as frustrating as sitting in a parking lot with a car that refuses to start. Not that that’s where I am right now. I mean, obviously. But that’s where I was less than twenty minutes ago, first in front of my apartment complex and then in the nearby supermarket parking lot. Eventually, the car started, but I’m a little worried about getting through the next couple of days before I bring it in to Honda on Thursday morning. It’s worse than it’s been in the past. I really should have brought it in the moment the trouble started happening.
