Closer and Closer

I bought a watch from Eddie Bauer. I decided that I won't get any new headphones for two reasons. 1) The ones I have work okay and 2) I might be able to get some for cheap/free on the plane.

I also met somebody else who's going to Germany. He's a grad student named Ryan who has been working in the lab over the past several days.

I was down by Goodrich (the grocery store on Trowbridge) paying the electricity bill when I remembered something my English professor said last fall. Our coursepacks were at a little print shop in the Goodrich plaza. The class was all about orientalism so the professor made sure to point out that this hole-in-the-wall printer was between Woody's Oasis (Mediterranean Food) and Korean House: Between the Near East and the Far East. I thought that was funny at the time.
