“There are Vuitton and Gucci boutiques where the bric-a-brac shops selling fake...”
– Tony Bourdain on Vietnam, (via his blog)
NO RESERVATIONS EPISODES START UP AGAIN NEXT... →
Before clicking on that list, I thought to myself, “No San Francsico episode, no San Francisco episode PLEASE!!” Sure enough, no episode yet! This gives me hope that one day I’ll run into him when he films in SF (he has said he wants to do that episode). But wait, another Vietnam episode?? Oh yeah, Tony says he loves Vietnam. I guess he’s going to do a South Vietnam episode...
3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late →
jessicachu:
1 // You may need more sleep than you think. Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were “well rested” actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered 10 hours a night.

“The ecstasy of the Dionysian state, with its destruction of the customary...”
– Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy
I just paused and wondered, “Am I really reading this for pleasure right now?” I guess you can never actually leave “school-mode,” eh? This makes me want to drink. A lot.
merry christmas (or whatever)
Because everything is better through laconic bullet points,
Ate my weight’s worth in sushi today. Still recovering.
Christmas shopping was overly stressful this year because I only had two days to complete it since I ended finals so late. Is it supposed to be this bad?
Santa, are you getting me the 3G or not? Plz let me know already.

THE "AHH FUCK I'M PULLING AN ALL NIGHTER" POST
[11:50 pm] Is it really possible to procrastinate a paper by getting too into another one? I suppose that’s what happened with that Greek paper I finally turned in. I rocked that shit SO HARD. I edited it almost obsessively and once I realized what I wanted to say it was… actually fun to write? To top it all off, I had a Latin final today from 5-8 pm which turned out to be...

Daphnis and Chloe
One of our tasks for this Greek passage was to identify where it was from and who wrote it. After a painstaking two hours of Google searches I finally found it: apparently it’s from Longus’ Daphnis and Chloe, a cute little romantic tale about two adopted youths who fall in love and later find their respective sets of parents (who turn out to be hella rich). AWWWWWWWWW REALLY?!...
I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW BADLY I WANT THIS WEEK TO BE...
What I’m actually doing: translating a Greek passage and attempting to figure out how the hell a catalog of trees has any rhetorical devices worthy of a six page commentary.
What I wish I could be doing: watching Maury videos on Youtube, eating ice cream and cuddling.

"Vuelva usted mañana" - Mariano José de Larra
Gran persona debió de ser el primero que llamó pecado mortal a la pereza. Nosotros, que ya en uno de nuestros artículos anteriores estuvimos más serios de lo que nunca nos habíamos propuesto, no entraremos ahora en largas y profundas investigaciones acerca de la historia de este pecado, por más que conozcamos que hay pecados que pican en historia, y que la historia de los...
