I Just Overheard a Reunion on the Train
Woman 1: (Sits down) You have a sister, Mona, right?
Woman 2: Yes...
Woman 1: And you have only one brother right?
Woman 2: Yes...
Woman 1: I'm Lisa! I used to live across the street from you! I dated your brother.
Woman 2: Lisa! You had the goats in your basement!
Woman 1: Yes! How is your brother?
Woman 2: He's..
Me: (Bah! Who cares about the brother! Tell me more about these goats living in the basement.)
szzzzlaga asked: I don't have a question but felt it necessary to tell you I LOVE your haircut.

On Going to Paris
First of all holy shit i’m going to Paris!
After leaving Europe the first time part of me thought it was possible that I might not get back to that continent in my life time. But here I am leaving for Paris and London in a few days.
I come from a family that doesn’t travel. Ever. We would go on day trips to the zoo or something, but we never went on a family vacation. It...
Le Goulante De Pauvre Jean by Edith Piaf
Note...
“Transcending speculation with systematic scholarship”
– Just read this in an Amazon book review and thought it was a perfect phrase
“Why are there still actual flags in football instead of some sort of digital...”
– These are the kind of questions you get when i watch sports.
“Are you even listening to what i’m saying?”
– John Stewart to Bill O’Riley

IRRITATION
fvfarm:
There once was a time in life when the football season came to an end, but these days it goes on forever.
Every morning during the one hour I listen to radio there are at least 2 football reports. Both say exactly the same thing.
I try to imagine how any woman can possibly live with any of these men who report about football.
I’m not sure if it has been proved but I firmly believe...

ATTN: Men
Bra sizes do not work how you think they do. I am constantly seeing men refer to to the number as if it had something to do with how large your breasts are. Example from Saving Private Ryan:
She told me that she was a 46DDD but i had her squeezing into a 42D and she was just spilling out of it.
I don’t remember if that is the exact quote, but it does matter. While this would, infact,...
Harry Potter is Modern Crack
I just finished book 4 in three days. There is no way i’m reading anything else until i’ve completed the series. I think should be able to finish 5, 6, and 7 in two weeks if i continue at this pace. That leaves me one week to read the Tumblr Book Club book for this month.
On to Book 5…
