So sorry for running off mid - last post . I stated that I had gotten another job offer . What actually happened is that one hour after deciding to accept the bookstore job , despite it 's crappy hours and low pay , I received an offer to interview with an office job in the Anthropology dept . at NYU .

Especially the first part of the first episode they showed ( two half hour episodes ) . Acetylene torpedoes ! Something went wrong at an acetylene place , and sparked a fire , and all those tanks took off like missiles ! I do n't know why they did n't shut down traffic both ways instead of just one .

I just needed some quiet time alone , away from the city , away from work , and that 's exactly what I got . Just the fresh air alone was great . I 'd brought along some nice books , and the rains gave me lots of time to read and think .
