I am learning so much about restaurant grades.
So it’s based on points right?
I’m checking out some A grade restaurants that have both an insect and rodent problem. A GRADE. So if you, I don’t know, don’t hold cold food over a certain temperature and make sure there’s a bathroom with running water in it, and basically do all the other stuff well, you can have as many rats and roaches as you want and still get an...

New York Health Department Restaurant Ratings Map... →
capitalnewyork:
Can’t bring myself to look at the “evidence of rodents” map this early in the morning.
I see how I’ll be spending the rest of my morning.

Fortune Telling
If you would have told me 1 year ago that in exactly a years time from that date, I would be walking a terrier on the streets of Harlem I would have laughed in your face. If you would have tried to tell me, to insist that this would be true, 5 years ago? I would have called the cops. Or at the very least, a doctor.
And this is why you must believe in the unbelievable.

Stoop Conversations
“Coconut Water is good for you daughter! I come from Belize where we just take the top off…right off the tree, just like dat and drink! Though that stuff in a can is pretty close”
“Racial profilin’ around here is outta hand”
The bottle in my bag clinks against the cement
“Ooooh you got a good night in that bag”
yep I do! wine!

If I wasn't an old I would sell every single last...
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
At $8000 a pop that would be some kind of wonderful.

Fun Activity of the Day!!
dangagliardi:
Go to a beginner’s yoga class. About a quarter of the way through it, approach another student and slice open his/her throat. Then, as s/he lay there bleeding to death and everyone stares in disbelief, you say, “I’m sorry, this is my first time doing yoga.”
ugh
also the job I interviewed for last week went to a person with more ‘New York experience’.
STOP THIS MADNESS.
I AM AWESOME.

On adrenaline, crisis and writing
I’ve been so consumed by matters of life and limb, and running off the adrenaline that accompanies those things that a lot of my more mundane life bullshit fell to the side. It was cathartic; Freeing. I thought I had put aside foolish things, finally.
And I had. For about two weeks.
Now that I’m safe and relatively settled, it’s all come back to roost. And then some. I’m...

I'm sorry, I'm about to lose my mind just now:
I am so fucking sick of people saying “telling someone to eat a sandwich is the exact same thing as telling a fat person to put down the sandwich”
Because no. No. It fucking is not.
Thinness is lauded in our culture. Even extreme thinness. It has always been a virtue in our modern society. Always. Anyone who has ever had an eating disorder knows that even when people tell you that...
What Happens to the Coke in Coca-Cola? →
In 1886, the city of Atlanta passed a short-lived law prohibiting the sale and/or manufacture of alcohol. In response, a pharmacist named John Pemberton created a faux wine, mixing together fruit flavors with extracts from kola nuts (caffeine) and coca leaves (cocaine). He dispensed it via soda fountains—at the time, carbonated water was believed to have medicinal benefit—and with that,...

I am losing my shit over a Star Trek Voyager...
So, I’m obviously still having feelings that the gin didn’t get rid of. Many of them.
Tuvok and Tom Paris fell into a gravity well and they met a girl named Nas who was also stuck in the well. WELL, given the time distortion 2 days turned into two months and the girl and Tuvok started having feelings for each other but Tuvok, being Vulcan and also married in some other quadrant of the...

I think I saw…a lady from ‘The Help’ win? She was wearing a beautiful cream colored gown.
I saw another lady who appeared to be BLASTED on a multitude of things in a gorgeous red gown with a bow on the neck. God I loved that dress! She presented with Ben Stiller, but I have no idea who she was. Honestly she was aggravating me even though the sound was off, so you know, good...

It’s a good thing I’m going to a birthday party where people will encourage me to bury those under gin.

What is the Dell?
And why the fuck is the farmer in it?
Is it a Hansel thing (IN THE COMPUTER?) Is he inside a Dell?
Also, in what world does cheese stand alone?
Is that another computer thing?
The farmer is in the Dell with his new Cheese 1.2 Standalone?
So much to think about.

SO there’s this guy. He sits in a blacked out SUV in front of my building steps. All day. You can barely see him, so if you don’t for sure know he’s there, you wouldn’t know he’s there. He has a bluetooth ear piece and sometimes people come and talk to him on the driver’s side window.
I’ve gathered that it’s his office. I have no desire to inquire...

Yet I keep doing it. Like pressing on a blister or a burn, not in spite of the fact it hurts but because it does.
And that’s all I have to say about that.

Hopefully as a reading/writing tutor to kids at KIPP and some senior services. Because, what the hell man. People need help. Lots of people. Need all kinds of help. And the teensiest bit of it can make such a huge difference to someone. I know that now better than ever. And as much as I love you tumblr, it’s a bit disgusting the amount of time I put in on the internet arguing about bullshit...

There's a 'backlash' against Leslie Knope?
Fucking seriously?
Why?
She’s smart and funny and neurotic and silly and loveable and awkward but kind of cute and sort of endearing and successful.
I fail to see the fucking problem.
But then again, IM NOT FUCKING LAME.
