Things I Learned this Week -- Volume 4

  1. I learned that just because someone buys you a shot of jager doesn't mean that you should drink it.
  2. Espresso Chai with Ginger and Whipped Topping drinks are divine.
  3. Bertrand Russell is the new Jesus.
  4. I live in a completely boring town, with a boring job, and an utterly boring life.
  5. Feta fries are delicious...when you are drunk.
  6. I really miss college and all of my college friends.
  7. Super long books about Victorian magicians fascinate me.
  8. Drunk texting is just as bad as drunk dialing.
  9. The Grit has the best tofu EVER and I think the secret is the nutritional yeast.
  10. Nicky's car is a transformer.
  11. My friend Abra is an evil mastermind and completely Project Mayham all the way.
