I should have told that guy who wanted to end things, because I was religious and he wasn’t and how would we raise our children? — after four dates! — about the benefits of religious commitment!

little seattle keeps coming along
The familiar visage of the joyous Il Pagliacci of Cafe Vita in full neon was hoisted above the dirty, exuberantly hip streets of Ludlow last week. New York is this much closer to even better coffee.
Yeah, but when are we getting Theo?
{Also, that first sentences took me about 5 tries to read. We don’t talk like that in Seattle, just to be clear.}
{I’ve also never lived in Seattle. Just, whatever. It’s my people.}
Ways to annoy me on the subway
- Be on the subway.
- Hold onto the pole with the sleeve of your jacket as a germ-buffer like some weirdo who hasn’t heard of hand sanitizer. You look like a goddamn baby. You are in NYC and you’re afraid of germs? Just leave. Leave the island right now.
- Be a child who won’t stop staring at me.
- Be someone who doesn’t give up their seat to an old person.
- Rap/sing out loud.
- Panhandle.
- Bring your bicycle on the train and take up way too much space.
- Talk to me.
- Look at me.
may I also add:
- standing next to me while I’m sitting at the end and having your ass on my arm or your bag in my face
- if you’re a guy, standing in front of me so I have to stare at the floor in order to avoid direct contact with your crotch
- people who don’t give up their seats to preggos (screw the old hags, they can stand)
- staring at me like I have a booger
- sneaking a peek at your neighbor’s iPod, iPad, book, Nook or whatever techie device they’re on
- eating something gross that stinks up the subway car
- taking up more room than necessary in your seat
- sitting next to me in a spot that you clearly won’t fit but budge your ass into
I am that person sneaking a peek at your reading material. And judging you and/or posting it here. SORRY I’M NOT SORRY.
Just watch, tonight I’m posting a list of what people on my train were reading. Get ready.

Men speaking dismissively of a would-be model.
- Man 1:
- I mean, she could do catalog work for Marshalls.
- Man 2:
- She's super hot.
- Man 1:
- She's _naked!_
This must be a school for cats. {West 83rd St.}

Light at the end of the tunnel.
New York City.
Good morning.
One of my favorite NYC views, especially when I’m working from home. :D

12 Brussels Sprout Dishes We Love in NYC | Serious Eats
Important list.
Ooh, new ideas for brussels sprouts!
If this list had omitted The Vanderbilt, I would have lost serious respect for Serious Eats.

The sharp eye of Marina Galperina at Animal brings you Eric Fischer’s Twitter traffic map of New York. Galperina writes, “This is New York, with New Yorkers’ trips routed and their geotag density mapped out in “10000 points, 30000 vectors.” What do we learn? Broadway is ‘the spine.’ Well, that does make sense.”
It’s like a giant alien spreading its tentacles into all our homes, our trains, our very brains …
