I got it for Christmas a few years ago, and after attempting to read it a few times had to admit to myself that it was boring, and I was probably never going to get past the first twenty pages. For some reason (probably guilt) I decided to give it another try. Actually having read the introduction this time, I was able to finally understand that the book was written only because Maugham felt...

Robert Krulwich: The next question. This comes from your father and your mother, Jad: “What is wrong with you?” For those of you who remember the show Choice, suddenly, in the middle of the show, and for no reason, at the end of a segment, Jad used a term of opprobrium, a name that is normally associated with female dogs, and just simply called the audience bitches. “Okay,...

It will never be the same, but it seems as though things are going in a pretty cool direction. I’m still sad. :(

I have canines for a reason.
I’m a vegetarian, and I have been for long enough that the only time I crave meat is when I smell bacon (and I don’t think this will ever go away). That being said, I had a strange realization last week over a plate of eggs, sunny side up. They were runny and I ate them with all the carnivorous intent I could manage. It was wonderful and I can’t wait to do it again.
Furrr
I don’t understand how people can wear real fur. I’m not talking about the whole “is it ethical” issue. What I’m talking about is actually having to touch actual dead animal fur. Whenever I’m at a thrift store and come across some, I’m always entranced until I pick it up/touch it. At which point I become pretty grossed out. It’s just creepy as...

Coffee is delicious
I love it when I forget to take out the filter filled with used coffee grounds and several hours (or days) later, when I’ve totally forgotten about it, smell the wonderous scent of coffee.
I really like calling people "foxy."
Because calling them hot makes me feel like I’m being demeaning, and calling them attractive is just lame (although it has been my word of choice for a while).
I am just so happy we're finally here. This past...

I just had the craziest dream.
I dreamt about a woman who lived in a big house with her husband. As a child her mother and brother had been killed on the third floor of this house - with her as a witness - by strange men who had broken in. At the very end of the dream she wakes up from a nap (and I am her) to see a blurry figure in the distance. It is blurry because she isn’t wearing her glasses. She tries to get up...
I am on a budget so here are the things I could...
1. A new strap for the briefcase my dad gave me. It’s a really great old bag but I’m not going to use it unless I can get a strap and carry it messenger style.
2. A new bra. All of my old ones are at that point where the are starting to get itchy. Actually, I just need more underwear in general.
3. I really want a faux fur collar. They’re dramatic and awesome. And I...

on the most embarrassing moment of my life
sbz:
no, it wasn’t that time i tripped over the astroturf at the rugby house. i made the best of that moment; being completely sober, i feigned the opposite and asked, “where’s the keg?!” rather, the most horrifying moment had to have been in high school: the afternoon my mother discovered my collection of porn. she sighed, “sara, you know that this isn’t really how people love each other, don’t...
Roommate Complaint #4857
She is doing her homework on the floor in front of the TV while watching something DUMB. And she has been for the past several hours. Why can’t she sit on the futon? Why does she have to watch TV while she does it? I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND.
People are ridiculous. In a fun way.
