8.4 Million New Yorkers Suddenly Realize New York City A Horrible Place To Live — The Onion.
‘We’re Getting The Hell Out Of This Sewer,’ Entire Populace Reports
“…Other incidents that prompted citizens to pick up and leave included the sight of garbage bags stacked 5 feet high on the sidewalk; the realization that being alone among millions of anonymous people is actually quite horrifying; a blaring siren that droned on and fucking on; muddy, refuse-filled puddles that have inexplicably not dried in three years; the thought of growing into a person whose meanness and cynicism is cloaked in a kind of holier-than-thou brand of sarcasm that the rest of the world finds nauseating; and all the goddamn people. In addition, 3 million New Yorkers reportedly left the city because they realized the phrase “Only in New York” is actually just a defense mechanism used to convince themselves that seeing a naked man take a shit on a park bench is somehow endearing, or part of some shared cultural experience.”

Books I am reading right now, all at once:
Just Kids, Patti Smith
The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald
The Jewel in the Crown, Paul Scott
Loser Goes First, Dan Kennedy
The Argumentative Indian, Amartya Sen
My goal for Memorial day weekend is to know 2 of these 5 off the list. Luckily, it’s been raining a lot and I am more than happy to hide inside with these (very divergent) tomes.

Sandwich rules
Keep adding mustard. You will never have enough mustard on that bread. Only when a legitimate case could be made that this is no longer a turkey sandwich but a mustard sandwich will you have added enough. Just in case, keep some aside for dipping.
