I don’t know if I’m jaded or mean, but I’m pretty much convinced these cutsey “brooklynites” are horrible people that I’d call douchebags if I ever met them in person. And then I’d eat one of their chocolate...

yes! i spent about 5 minutes examining all of the tropicanas at the grocery store a few weeks ago because the variety name was written in tiny print at the top of the carton — ugh.

Happy tummy right now after brunch at Bar Tartine. Pumpkin, bread and hen of the woods mushroom salad with poached eggs on top. Cheese plate. And then free dessert courtesy of the hostess who as it turns out was a friend from back in the day. Banana parfait with graham cracker crumbs and caramel; trio of sorbet (ginger, hibiscus and passion fruit). I think all breakfast should have deeser served...

Yay nerds!
Remember book covers?
In high school, we’d get these books — text books that were ours to borrow for the year — that we need to cover. Some people would used paper bags. Others, wrapping paper. But the truly nerdy (or special) had these special types of paper, that were particularly made to be wrapped around a weather beaten text book, for the duration of the upcoming semester or year.

Reading
I always forget how much I love reading. When I was younger, I was unstoppable. As part of a library summer reading program, I read 60 books on summer (this is one book per day and a third). Yes, some of these books were Sweet Valley High books, but many were legitmate young adult type novels.
With working so much, it can be difficult to find time to read. I work on the train, thanks to EVDO. I...

Brit and I love to come here for brunch. Their turkey hash is amazing, and the cocktails aren’t too shabby either. That said, I’ve also had some not-awesome dishes here. Laura G had a dissapointing flat bread, in particular, that had tomato sauce on it for no apparent reason.
