Interviewed today for a January internship at a startup. Dressed like a corporate bi-a-tch today (think dark suit + camel coloured long coat flapping in the wind a la John Woo movies), the first time in...4 years? The last time I was in a suit was for college interviews. *~* gettin old. Interview was a roarin success. *hurrah* AND they say if I do well in Jan I'll be hired for spring + summer. *double hurrah*

The implications are serious - Will I finally become a useful organism on this planet??

Hope Boston won't be butt-freezing in January [wishful thinking], cos the dude was like, "Do you have problems with commuting to Alewife?" (it's a good 1/2 hour ride on the T + 30 mins walking in total) "Will you be able to work continuously for 2 to 3 weeks?".... I said yes to all so there'd better not be any blizzards.

Met up with my former supervisor Flavia, who's now starting her own business and having a schmashing time around the world + in Italy. Flavia was awesome to work for. She used to abuse her Media Lab credit card to feed us top notch food whenever we worked late at lab. But that's not the reason I worship her. This Superwoman is a total brainiac: she's an expert in the Classics, mechanical + electrical engineering, comp sci, photography to name but a few fields; she collaborates with all sorts of cool people: choreographers, circus acrobats, architects, museums; she rides her motorcycle for fun AND she's a savoir vivre. (tho she's usually too busy to do what she preaches to us about having fun)

She was telling us about a commission she got from La Scala, Milan. (Imagine!) If she gets her own way on this exhibit, it will be unmissable. Milan, 2004 - I'm gonna go there!
