random stuff

Robert: Hello. Thank you for chosing Comcast. My name is Robert and I will be processing your order. This will take a few minutes so feel free to ask questions while I process your order.
Robert: Can you please verify the name on the order?
Isaac: Isaac Bowen
Isaac: What’s your favorite color?

Cable/internet is ordered, and apparently we’re in apartment 3F, rather than simply 4. Also, coincidentally, 302 W 31st is also an apartment building – the upshot of which is that you can mistakenly give Comcast this address and there will be zero warning signs. Except that they also do not have an apartment 4.

The picture above is of one of my brothers (still can’t find my camera). The tickets are purchased – we’re flying over to see him and the others in May. … It’s been a long time, and I have a little more appreciation for relationships across continents.

It’s raining out (sorry, thunderstorming), and looks like the same tomorrow. Saturday is snow. In April.

Jeff bathed the dog this morning. I think his name is supposed to be Jack, but I’m pretty sure Bartholomew suits him better. Corgi. Also, he instinctively dried his face on my quilt. That’s definitely a ‘Bartholomew’ sort of transgression.

And I have a job, looks like. Back-end web developer, working part-time and telecommuting. Essentially perfect.

_So_Few_But_So_Far – Steven Knodel’s senior thesis on quantifying relationships. Really excellent work.

Brain crack, it does a body good. A defense for encouraging those pesky moments of sudden brilliance.

etiological – because it’s a cool word.

Thank you.
