minutiae
1. got an email from an old college friend, two years my senior, who is starting law school somewhere in cali in the fall. my stomach siezed and a very loud "nooooooo" escaped from my lips.
2. emotions are less intense here in NJ. at least, emotions as they relate to people in Boston.
3. dial up, particularly doing a job search on dial up, sucks.
4. it's hot.
