the most wonderful time
Within the past hour and a half at Water Street, i’ve seen no fewer than 6 people from PNHS. I have been judiciously avoiding eye contact. Having short hair and no glasses helps considerably. I also think i’m sitting next to Robin’s sister.

pet peeve
tomatoallergy: I really hate when small groups of women play the whole “which Sex & the City character would we all be?” game. We’re more complex than that, y’all.

It can be a little vapid at times, and I’m not totally comfortable with the way it focuses on gender and...

This is the most retarded route in the history of modern travel. Damn you, work schedules of people. Surprisingly, cutting Eamonn out (not that i’d ever consider that) subtracts only 300 miles from the total distance, according to Google.

Pelicans
tubaabbi: At la Pointe des Almadies, a nice little beach area near my school, there lives a pelican named Akon.  Akon wears bracelets on his feet, and hangs out around the restaurants, generally minding his own business.  Lately, though, Akon has gone a little crazy. The other day Liz and I were sitting at Chez Gille, our favorite spot to get a coke and grade papers after school, when a guy...

The Gap: “Comment Date: Dec 4 2009 5:26 PM Rating: Christmas-Offensive Comment: I actually saw a commercial here in Santa Fe, NM where they wished everyone a Happy Holidays, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hanukah, and, believe it or not, a Happy Winter Solstice, which, I believe, is the pagan astronomical celebration of winter, steeped in New Ageism. ABOLUTLEY NO MENTION OF...
