My chair is broken so my feet are dangling in the air and my shoes are slipping off.
Talking about the 1893 World’s Fair and resisting the urge to shout about Leonardo DiCaprio’s plans to play Daniel Burnham (or is he going to play H.H.Holmes?) in the sure-to-be-dreadful Devil in the White City movie.
Just watching A League of Their Own before class and quietly weeping.

“Isn’t this cute?”

‘You’ve never opened a newspaper?’
‘Yes probably,’ said Jed good naturedly, but in fact he had no memory of ever doing so. He managed to visualise piles of Figaro Magazine on a coffee table, in his dentist’s waiting room; but his dental problems had been solved a long time ago. In any case he…

People who’ve only heard of Charles Dickens because of The Wire.
Why can’t I find a video clip of Templeton from Charlotte’s Web doing the song about what a joyous place the fair is for a hungry rat?

Sleater-Kinney, Step Aside

Anyway, the...

All Male Students at GSAPP,
Someone has been closing the water supply valves in the urinals in Avery Hall. I have had to re-open the valves several times today.
If there is an issue with the urinals, please let me know. Closing the valves without letting me know the reason why does not facilitate repair.

I mean, Lewis Mumford snidely called me “mechanically well done” (way more passive aggressive than it sounds, I assure you), which I...

“Last night I was a sloppy mess. I ran into [REDACTED], apparently she only exists when we are belligerent. She told me that she is moving to [REDACTED] for that dude in the drop kick murphys or whatever. This was after I helped [REDACTED] clean her vomit off the bathroom floor at the palace restaurant. I furiously wiped her vomit up with a paper towel, which is gross however my only thought was...

The big thing that’s going on with me right now is that I can’t find my copy of American Psycho (it’s one of 10,000 books that seems to be missing from my carefully organized shelf, top of dresser, and window ledge book storage system) and so what I need is for someone to transcribe or very accurately describe what I call the ‘tights’ scene, by which I mean the part...

“So do a lot of guys come in here?”
“Yeah, there are a lot of guys that tan.”
“Always a plus.”
