Things My Family Has Said, Thanksgiving Break...
kambr:
“She’s going to fall in love with the male model. That’s very tacky.” -My dad, ruining the end of “Sisterhood of Traveling Pants 2” (shortly followed with, “Don’t fall in love with a male model. Oh, that girl’s going to fall in love with that Korean guy.”)
“Why is he there? He got a pizza. He should be at home eating the pizza.” -My mom, on Michael’s surprise appearance at the end of...

Yes, that’s the traditional Peruian folk music that we all love.
Now they’re playing the Jackson Five’s “I’ll be there.”

ceandersen:
vampires are popular.
When she was crashing at my place last weekend, I asked my friend and pop culture scholar/fanatic Carrie Andersen why the heck vampires have become so popular lately. I’m delighted that she has actually written a post analyzing why. Read it at her blog, Joy Ride.

In response to: A Question for the Ladies
A week ago, on Sunday November 1st, I posted a question for all you ladies - what is the most forward thing you’ve ever done to talk to a guy? I got some awesome answers - so if it’s alright with you (just email me if it’s not), I’m going to post them here with your inits for the the non-tumblr readers.

- oven-baked salmon with olive oil, lemon slices, rosemary, kosher salt, and pepper (350 degrees for...
"Cracking the System"
From my Princeton Review GRE book:
“You’ll do better on the GRE by putting aside your feelings about real education and surrendering yourself to the strange logic of the standardized test.”
I feel like most people believe they are doing good work by helping others to live within the lines.
Still loving cafe culture
At Tosci’s this morning, Gus (the owner) recognized me from Hi Rise, and I was gifted an espresso over a scoop of hazlenut ice cream. He read my diary, for sure.

I am having a religious experience with my hummus...
I would post a picture… But I already ate it all. Seriously, I never would have bounced $7 $2 for the hummus sando with avocado before working at Hi Rise—now I don’t have to. But I would.
Who will join the religion of Sandwich?

here's a question for you ladies
I’m—you’re—working in a cafe. I see a cute guy walk in. What’s more, he’s also wearing a red hoodie, which is a sure sign that we could be friends (not really, but let’s just go with it). He has other symbols that demonstrate I might like him - a reusable shopping bag, for examplery. He glances my way when I’m not looking, and vice versa. I’m...
