fortune-ately...

here's what my fortune cookie told me, after that boring-a-riffic dinner with g and a:

"a new environment makes all the difference in the world."

erm... okay. there are several ways this can be interpreted:

a. fuck! i'm going to fail out of law school and be forced to sell vaccuum cleaners over the phone to old ladies in north dakota! damn that evidence final!!! damn it to hell!!!

b. hey -- the fortune knows that daniel is moving up here and i'm going to have to find a new place to live. and my "new environment" is going to make everything better!

c. hey -- the fortune knows that daniel is moving up here and i'm going to have to find a new place to live. but things aren't really bad right now. things are pretty good these days, actually (failure of the evidence final notwithstanding). so this "all the difference in the world" thing could really mean that my life is about to take a big ol' turn for the worse... fuck!

d. the literal interpretation of this fortune is that it is in fact a true statement -- a new environment does indeed make all the difference in the world.

e. my lucky numbers are apparently 12, 34, 42, 11, 5, and 9. and the word "august" in chinese is "Ba-yue".
