"Puppet wrangler? There weren't any puppets in this movie!" – Crow T. Robot
Ugh. The service department wants to keep my car overnight. Apparently, it’s acting fine. They’ve had no trouble starting it. Come to think of it, neither did I this morning. So they’re hoping that, letting it sit overnight, they’ll be able to duplicate and diagnose the problem in the morning. It’s odd: I find myself actually hoping my car won’t work.
So now I have to figure out when and where the bus stops or scrounge up enough money for a cab ride home.
Well, I for one would like to welcome our new Stalinist monster crab overlords. Found through Neil Gaiman.
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.
