A: I'll see him in Fisher's Island this summer.
Me: Where is Fisher's Island?
A: Technically it's in the Sound, but you take a ferry from New London.
Me: ...Where is New London?
A: Connecticut!
Me: Sorry, I don't know about these things.
A: How can you not know this??
Me: I'm Jewish and grew up poor.
A: Oh yeah. Right.

I'm sorry, Internet, but I just need to get some...
I hate leopard print.
I have zero desire to read or see the Hunger Games.
Tom’s Shoes are ugly.
I watched 20 minutes of Downton Abbey and was incredibly bored.
Neon nail polish makes your hands look like they have a fungus.

I don't really know how to do a smooth transition...
This weekend, I went to a class at the Astor Center called “The Fundamentals of Cooking Sauces” with my friend M. If you have to ask whether it was awesome or not, you probably shouldn’t be reading this blog.
The class covered how to make ten different types of sauce, including several of the traditional French sauces (or “mother sauces” if you watched that one...
Rihanna.
Lots of people are mad at her. Disappointed in her. Frustrated. Angry.
And I am mad at her too. But I am mad at her for different reasons. I am mad at her because I am mad at myself. Still, after all these years.
I am mad at her because I understand.
I was in a very, very bad relationship for a long time. Whenever I’ve talked about it, I’ve shied away from using the term...

Anonymous asked: I'm going to be a summer associate at an NY law firm this summer, and I was hoping you could give me/the tumblrverse some advice. I've had a job before, so I know some basic etiquette stuff (bring paper/pens to meetings etc.), but what would you consider some major Dos and Don'ts?
I am personally ashamed of the number of times...
That’s all.

A Couple of Things
Today was the second day in a row that I’ve woken up crying. Not just like weeping a little bit but uncontrollably sobbing. Yesterday, it was because I had a dream that my mom was dead and I had to plan her funeral. Today, I don’t even know what happened, but I just woke up with tears streaming down my face. So, that’s fun. Relatedly, I’m pretty sure The Dude thinks that...

Things I Do Not Recommend
Reading the article in this week’s New Yorker about Dallas Wiens’ face transplant surgery.
Google image searching “face transplant surgery.”
Doing 1 and 2 when the left side of your face is still completely numb from the cavity you got filled this morning, rendering you completely freaked out about unintentionally chewing through your cheek before the novocaine wears...

I just ordered a 3 foot long sandwich from JoeDoe...
Each slice of this 3 foot long sandwich will contain one of the following sandwich fixings:
Cubano: roast pork, shoulder bacon, pickles
Brisket: peppercorn and cheddar
Italian: classic meats and cheeses, olive oil
I’m having about 10 people over, and it’s supposed to serve 15-25 people.
All of you can go ahead and highlight the shit out of your own posts, but this is clearly the...
