“This far underground, her cell phone had no dial tone.”

Think about that sentence for a minute. … Now, when is the last time you remember hearing a dial tone on a cell phone? This is a line from Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. It just struck me as odd because some of his details are so meticulous yet this seems to be a pretty blatant mistake. Unless there’s something different about cell phones in Europe that I don’t know about…Despite the error (?) I’m loving the book so far. Not quite as hard to put down as The Da Vinci Code (at least not yet).

Anyway, back to things of more importance. Almost everyone is back and classes start today. Well, for most people. I start tomorrow so today is my day of errands to make sure I’m completely ready to start the semester. My list includes a buying a laptop bag, getting a haircut, picking up last minute school supplies, and working on some web stuff for Jillian. Should be a busy day, but still the least busiest day of my week. Funny how that works out.

The good news is that most of my apprehension about this semester has drained away. Once everyone actually got here I started feeling better for the most part. On the one hand, I’m starting to feel old for the halls. I really hope I don’t end up being that creepy guy who just won’t leave. But at the same time there are a lot of fresh faces and plenty of new friends to make. I’m trying to get back to two years ago where I knew over half the people in the building/complex and it was a blast. Last year has been wiped away and things are starting off well. It feels odd how my anxiety is basically gone. There are struggles with the desks and a few other things, but I’m willing to accept those things as inevitabilities. Wow that word took me too long to type. Must about time to wrap it up. I leave you with some Maroon 5. They need to come out with another album.

I know I don’t know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh no they can’t
