Dreamache
No dreamache this morning, but I do know that feeling.
everybodycares:
Is this a word? Because, if it’s not, I submit that it should be. It would be used to describe that particular sense of longing one feels in the morning following a dream that has taken you some place, with someone, that you’d like to stay for a while longer; it’s that feeling in your chest when you realize it was all just...
Preemptive Lists

Take me to the magic mushroom house →
“Built over several years beginning in 1973, the outside profile of this Aspen, Colo., home — as well as the hallucinogens so popular in that era — inspired its nickname, the magic mushroom house.
However, the house’s architect, builder and first resident, Andre Ulrych, said he took his design cues from a nautilus shell.”
Take. Me. There. Take me there NOW.
Future? Oh, I get it. You mean you don’t foresee a pot of gold at the end of our...

Obama is the new Disney →
The new trend: Obama-merchandising.
“Everyday Obama items are also doing well. Obama-themed $10 Metro farecards for the Washington subway system sold out at $10, then reappeared on eBay for $25.99. Obama sex toys, which will not be described here, are available for $34.95 at one online company. At another, I ♥ Obama Classic Thong Undies are selling for $8.99.”
I’d take classic...
My Genome, My Self →
“So if you are bitten by scientific or personal curiosity and can think in probabilities, by all means enjoy the fruits of personal genomics. But if you want to know whether you are at risk for high cholesterol, have your cholesterol measured; if you want to know whether you are good at math, take a math test. And if you really want to know yourself (and this will be the test of how much you...

S (on the phone): "Look out your window."
K: looks out, on to the entrance of Eliot House. Three Eliotites are walking out of the house.

Someone give that girl a beer. Senior winter, I will participate in this tradition before peeing on John Harvard to complete the trilogy.
You have to be always drunk. That’s all there is to it—it’s the only way. So as...

Mr. Churchill, you are drunk.
Madame, you are ugly.
Mr. Churchill, you are extremely drunk!
And you, Madame, are extremely ugly. But tomorrow, I shall be sober.

More. Sleep. For. Me.
After working on a group paper, I have come to...
I never thought I would see plural verbs consistently paired with singular nouns at Harvard. It’s 3am. Someone put me out of my misery.
Happy Ending →
Newest music find - MIKA, a Beirut-born, Paris and London-raised singer. He has good chord progressions, key changes, and instrumentation. Classically trained crossover artists are the best. Mika’s one of the few curly-haired boys who I find pretty. It’s probably because he’s a classically trained musician and rumored to be gay. Whatevs. World, a little bit of love and all...
