farmers market buddies
Me: This book has this weird narrative thread where the author tries to paint a vignette of being at a farmers' market.
Sacha: Do you agree?
Me: I don't know. I haven't been reading those parts. I don't need to read about unloading crates of beautiful, leafy kale in the early morning. I get to experience the poetics of vegetables on a weekly basis.
Sacha: The poetics of vegetables? Really? 'Cause that's what she said.

shameless plug for my most recent post on the reed admission blog. the joy has ebbed a little bit since i wrote this, but to be honest i’m still a nauseatingly happy and enthusiastic person (if not increasingly sleep-deprived).

a very putter's thanksgiving
sara: hi, i was just wondering if you guys are open tonight?
bartender with the same birthday as me: yes we are. we'll see you here soon!
sara: is this billy? uh, oh, okay bye!
yes, we really did go to putter's on thanksgiving. after four very delightful games of pool and an equal number of whiskey gingers, i'd say it was a rousing success.
