great white shark

  1. pittsburgh.

    My city of academia didn’t let me down — it was raining when I got here.

    Highlights from the trip to my mom’s (in NJ, near the shore):

    • Lots of sleeping, not-showering
    • Arrested Development
    • Juno for the second time, and the deleted scenes, and then both with commentary
    • I decided (based on a suggestion in the commentary) that dressing up as Juno and Paulie Bleeker will be the best Halloween costume ever — I’ve already enlisted John.
    • My grandpa lectured me on how 400-something alternating current power is better than 60-something — as if the government put me in charge. Also, way to zone in on the part of physics I hate the most.
    • I tried to set up my aunt’s router with her Window’s 98 computer.
    • I failed.
    • Well, I didn’t fail — I gave up because I realized her laptop wasn’t working (an independent problem) so there was no reason for her to have wireless anyway.
