I love that restaurant. Did you BYOB?
Yes! A 40 (I think) of Kingfisher. Of which I probably drank 1/4 of a glass, because that’s how I roll.
But it’s okay, cause I was drunk on coconut samosas and saag matar paneer.

Survey.
Does an essay about vegetables have room in it for a digressive parenthetical paragraph about dramaturgy where I sort of say dramaturg:plays::greenmarket:vegetables?

Attention friendly internet!:
My awesome sister is looking for a longish-term sublet in the city. If you know of anything (a bedroom, rather than a whole apartment), please let me/her/us know. She has a steady job, enjoys cleaning, and is smart, funny, and lovely to be around. She’s like me, but pleasant.

Is anyone else nervous for Dec 12th 2012? Because I am. I still haven’t gotten my invitation to one of the arks… maybe it’s because I moved? You think they would have forwarded it…
Hey, that’s my 30th birthday!
Spoooooooky.
Oh shit, Jaime, if you combined the Mayan calendar and Logan’s Run, you would be like…the key. Donna Noble style. How many...

I just made apple sauce! Or applesauce.
There’s a little too much powdered ginger, but the couple of shakes of cayenne pepper are, if I do say so myself, awesome.
Ha, it’s awesomesauce. Awesome sauce.
No, but really, apple[ ]sauce is easy and satisfying to make, and what with $1.50 4lb bags of apples, how can you not?
Except it’s really hot while it’s cooking, so...

Margaret Atwood Update!
She answered my question! Sprayguns are like very advanced rayguns, and virtual bullets are very concentrated… rays? I dunno, I’m not sure she’d actually figured that out before. But still!
She also referenced “The Tudors” in context of distinguishing a dystopia from a shitty chaotic situation.
She was hilarious, and the conversation part was super weird and...

Election Night
Listening to WNYC, refreshing twitter, Times election blog on auto-refresh, and following a WNYC online live chat for the fastest results. Mostly because I want to be able to sleep as quickly as possible.
Rangel’s likely win is depressing me. Espaillat’s lead is depressing me. Eric Schneiderman, you’re my only hope.
My only hope to not be totally depressed tonight, I mean.
Gurl...

I am in a large African American precinct. All of the poll workers are black. A gorgeous, bald black woman just walked and asked for her ballot. You have to state your party so you get the correct ballot. She stated ‘Republican’.
All of the women at the table exclaimed, ‘GURLLLL NO!’ and handed her her ballot.
As a party and campaign observer, I can’t say anything, but I couldn’t...

– WNYC Voter Guide: Democratic U.S. Senate Primary
In all of my research for local races (and getting Charlie Rangel the hell out), I completely missed the fact that Kirsten Gillebrand faced a challenge. This quote about challenger Gail Goode just went and broke my heart.
