+ I’m halfway done with finals after my anthro final this afternoon.
- It was the hardest final of my life. I opened it and literally laughed, because that’s how little I knew.
+ So I went to Absolute Bagels afterward to salvage my day.
- But it was raining on the 10-block walk over.
+ The bagel was [...]

Friday the 13th

Here’s what happened on Friday:
My sister got into her master’s program. I’m so happy for her. Once, Simon Cowell said, “I don’t get this ‘happy for’ thing. How can you be happy for someone… oh, silly Americans!” (That was paraphrasing). Anyway, I thought about that for awhile at the time, and was like, “Simon, maybe [...]

Fact:

All those rumors about guys eating a lot are true.
Proof: I went to dinner last night and got a personal pizza, except that it wasn’t so personal–it was probably 8 to 10 inches in diameter. So it’s split into quarters, and I eat two of the four slices, and I am stuffed.
My companions–both dudes, bro-hams, [...]

Of Planes and Soap

Plane crashes make me never want to fly again. Regardless of if it’s a happy ending–landing in the Hudson, miraculous, etc.–or crashing into a house and killing everyone on board, it freaks me the eff out. Especially this latest crash, which happened 5 minutes before landing, which is the part where everyone has kind of [...]

25 Things

It’s been way too long, so I’m jumping back in with this mega-entry in the form of the 25 things meme from Facebook. I got tagged yesterday, but I guess you’ll have to read through to find out why the eff I’m posting it here.
1. Every time I’ve read another person’s “25 things” list, I’ve [...]

Oh, Winter. Or: the Emergence of The Cold.

Here is a poem I wrote. It is called “Cold.”
Oh, cold, why must you
Do what you do?
Make my nose all stuffy
And make me all huffy.
I cannot breathe
And just sneeze and sneeze.
And eat entire bags of marshmallows.
Beautiful, right? No, really, over the course of 3 days, I ate an entire bag of marshmallows (the very ones [...]

Liiiisty.

Here’s some things I love:
1. Brad Pitt, when he’s rocking the hair that he has in Burn After Reading.
2. Walking out of Butler having actually done my work, and feeling a little bit superior to all the people still stuck in there.
3. Everything I bought at the Gap yesterday. And at Beacon’s closet last week. [...]

What cloven hoof?

Also, here’s a quote from my orthodox Jewish, kosher-keeping suitemate:
“Someone was cooking bacon the other morning… it smelled SO GOOD.”
See, no one can resist the appeals of bacon!

Green with envy… or deliciousness

I went to M2M to get sushi for dinner (so delicious and so cheap!), and as usual, I couldn’t get out of there without succumbing to temptation and buying my favorite snack food:

Right then, at the mere appearance of the wasabi pea can on my screen, I had to take my can out of its [...]

Coney Dogs and Colonoscopias probably are related in some way

We went on an adventure! To Coney Island!
I had never been before, and I pretty much associated it with two things:
1. That scene in Uptown Girls, the horrible movie with Brittney Murphy and Dakota Fanning, where one of them goes and finds the other one (I’m sorry that’s so vague, but to my credit, I’ve [...]
