I had my first temp-agency interview today, for the earning of summer ca$h. Apparently I type 87 wpm with no mistakes while typing a boring sample corporate manifesto, which is kind of fun to know, as I had never taken a typing test before. Apparently this is also OMG the best score evar, because the temp agency people were falling all over themselves with astonishment and assurances that they’d try to find me the plum (ie., $14/hr.) jobs. It’s good to have skills!

Unrelatedly, as I walked home from Harvard, I saw up ahead a pair of teenage-looking girls who were speaking in rhythm. “Oh,” I thought to myself, “that’s kind of cute; they’re rapping together on the sidewalk.” And then I walked past and heard, “Deny thy father and refuse thy name! Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” Teach me to make assumptions.
