Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Aimee, I lived in Philly for 2 years. Manayunk is a really cute sort of quasi hipster neighborhood, but it gets lots of bar people on weekends and the traffic there can be a damn nightmare because you're right on the river.
so cute little Irish boy walking out of the subway station as I was walking in and I said out loud - "What a cutey He is."
You should so come to Ireland with us!
Aurelia, you definitely should apply. I bet there are a lot of people around who could help you.
From an LATimes article on the failure of the school system.
Seidel once brokered multimillion-dollar business deals but left a 25-year law career, hoping to find a more fulfilling job and satisfy an old desire to teach. Nothing, however, prepared him for period five.
"I got through a year of Vietnam," he said, "so I tell myself every day I can get through 53 minutes of fifth period…. I don't know if I am making a difference with a single kid."
I so have that 5th period class. I tell myself, "you've run marathons! you can survive 5th period!"
I went to school in Philly, too. I liked it. It's little, which of course I didn't really realize until I visited, post-NYC.
And my only earwax issue is over-zealous q-tipping, according to my ENT -- he said they were overly clean. But I DON'T CARE.
Aurelia, that's exciting! Just make your resume as long as possible, and call it a vita. t /not that helpful
I so want to poke at Jesse about her Philly school.
Because it's so awesome?
Oh, Manayunk is cute, but not that close to downtown, in Philly terms. I think. Now I want to draw the map of Center City that showed up in every class I ever took, that I actually just had to draw over the weekend.
aurelia, apply! You'd be perfect for that job. I bet Drew could give you some pointers.
Yep. Manayunk commutes suck. Depending on where the job is though.... it's not close to Center City at all and the 76 is deadly. But if you are working somewhere NOT in Center City, it's not so bad.
I like Chestnut Hill more.
And did anyone post that Wendy Wasserstein died? (NYTimes article: [link] )
She was so young!
