Lotte Jacobi: Albert Einstein, 1938

Hell is other people.

- Sartre.

But not the point of this post. My argument is: perception of reality is other people. Sartre’s life musta sucked.

Case study: Tonight I walked into a sliding-glass door.

Surrealist take: Somewhere in Florida, a girl sits alone in her apartment, staring at her computer, for hours. After a while, she stands, walks into the sliding-glass door next to her desk, then sits back down and looks at the computer for several more hours.

Realist take: Somewhere in Florida, a girl logs onto her computer. She scrolls for a while, her apartment quiet save for the occasional clicks of her mouse. She reads reports of a freak snowstorm, but isn’t clear on where. Hoping to distraction it’s right outside on her balcony, she gets up and walks to the sliding glass door. But in her excitement she’d forgotten: Somebody has shut the sliding glass door… It is an explosion.

Pop Art Take: A girl has been tagged at Somewhere in Florida and on her Facebook Feed sees her friends’ proclamations of SNOW!! Like Calvin’s Snowman Suicides she jumps up, strides naked in a pearl necklace to the sliding-glass door, runs into it BAM! and staggers back to her IKEA chair and reports everything on her juicy red Apple white computer.

…

Clearly I hit my head.

vodka of the month: april

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 20:59:00 -0400

42 Below. From New Zealand. The fact that I’ve taken a week off writing this blog and come back with HEY! VODKA! should tell you something about its quality. It’s clean, it’s stiff, and it’s slightly more alcoholic than your garden variety (82 proof, not 80). Because, you know, vodka needs to be more alcoholic.

The gold standard, though, remains Belvedere. It just tastes so damn good.

But! If you don’t know where New Zealand is, go buy a bottle of this vodka. It has a helpful map on the back. So much more fun than Googling that shit.

Love,
Mais C’est Génial!

When I like somebody in the way that makes my loins vibrate and my stomach grumble, I like to think they like me back. If I make out with them more than twice, I usually need to think this, or else it’s just another ‘guess I have to camp out under their car until I slice at their Achilles…

The Frenemy.: Dating Books: A List:

thefrenemy:

I hate dating advice books. I read “He’s Just Not That Into You” when I was 16 and was told everybody was pretty indifferent about me.That’s all I learned-that people didn’t like me too much, possibly including my parents and grocer. And then the rest of the advice was find somebody who likes…

potential titles for dating advice books. a little bitter, a lot funny. my faves: the first one, and “Sometimes You Can Be Such a Slut.”
