Wednesday
I’m back in NYC after flying successfully to and from Pittsburgh. As an aside, people in Pittsburgh have a really interesting accent. To my ear, it resembles a very light southern twang, but flattened out midwestern-style. I thought it was just the couple of people I talked to in the airport when I landed, but then everyone talked that way. I didn’t realize how pronounced the accent was the further west you get.
At any rate, it was a pretty uneventful trip. I spent the day at Carnegie Mellon helping the students who were interviewing for summer intern positions to get in the right place with the right forms and answered their questions.
In between the work, I managed to read two books in their entirety: Wonder Boys (divine) and Running With Scissors (dismal). The speed of reading frightened even me. I did have many hours of uninterrupted reading time, but still. I was glad to have the time.
Also, I’m never in one place long enough involving restaurants to actually eat in a real restaurant, so I eat ridiculously poorly on business trips considering how much I can technically expense. I did have a great taco salad in the airport last night, though.
Tonight we are going to see Philip Seymour Hoffman on stage. Yes, I’m excited.
