Neoteny

One of the best quotes ever, especially the last line. Found in Tom Robbins' Still Life with Woodpecker.

my iPhone is making me FAT!

i know no one wants to hear this, BUT this weekend i came up with this theory that i haven't been able to lose the 15 pounds i gained during the drinkfest that was my last month in college chased by a month of shoving face in seven european countries BECAUSE OF MY iPHONE.

iphones make fulfilling cravings possible. this weekend i was craving frozen yogurt while in the middle of nowhere in NJ, google mapped up a TCBY, and within 10 minutes was shoving face. in new york, i want a cupcake while not by a cupcake place. google that up and once again, shoving face. it happens so fast i have no time to reflect on my bad decision.

speaking of iphones making me fat, i might as well get this faux-chocolate cover for myself. then i'd be reminded of food and chocolate constantly. seriously though, this is kind of a funny cover, you have to admit.

Ho-hio

I went to the wonderful world of Dayton, Ohio this weekend and I have a few observations.

1. No one attractive seems to live in Dayton by choice. Therefore, when I happened to find a potential townie who was remotely attractive, I eye-fucked the bejeeeeeezes out of them in wonder-ment.

2. The majority of women shop at Deb and Deb Plus.

3. Concrete seems to be the largest import of Dayton. Second would be crystal meth.

4. Due to lack of anything else to do, Dayton seems to have perfected the mozzarella stick.

5. M.I.A is classified as "ethnic music" by daytonians. (??? Pulease. Dead prez anyone?)

6. Dayton, OH has one redeeming quality. It happens to be the current location of C. Law school-er extrodinaire. Keep on East Coast representin.

Also, I literally shed all possible tears that could have been produced by my tear ducts in a matter of five minutes after watching the movie Milk. I would highly recommend.

ON REPEAT VIA ONE CAR RIDE, TWO FLIGHTS, ONE TRAIN RIDE, AND ONE BUS RIDE: Be like me and listen. One ear only.
