		<description>...Wow.

1mil applied and not even 10% got the cut (forgive me if I got that messed up--still on first cup of coffee)?

Although the specifics aren&#039;t out yet, but it would be worth looking into to see how many of those accepted are students. Apparently McD&#039;s was offering to pay for 75% of the books.</description>

		<description>It did, and more! By the time the Goons were done with the poor guy, they&#039;d raised over $72,000 for various Japan-related charities.</description>

		<description>If life is a stage, then the theatre&#039;s on fire. Sometimes I think there are no parts at all.
What I had in mind was sort of a depiction of one&#039;s sensations, perceptions put into words - a picture of the recurrent motives of a mind as it travels though time, so to speak, a bit like jazz in some instances, a lot like cacophony in others. 
What you could also do, I suppose, is to choose an &quot;ontological approach&quot;, to look &quot;from the God&#039;s perspective&quot;, or at least postulate such a position for the sake of the Wordle metaphor - an &quot;objective assesment&quot; of a character&#039;s life, if there is such a thing. 
It&#039;s interesting to look at the word cloud from the two perspectives, isn&#039;t it? The words would have a different meaning in each case.</description>

		<description>You may be right. Life usually doesn&#039;t form cohesive narratives; usually it comes to us with cascades of people, events, and ideas. All the world&#039;s a stage, but it&#039;s very rarely clear who has the lead roles and who got the bit parts.

I guess, then, the questions your idea raise look something like this:

What does one life&#039;s Wordle look like? Which words are big, and which ones are small? Which words are central, and which ones float around along the edge?

I have a feeling that the answers might be telling.</description>
