I wanted to listen to something "collegiate" as I drove up to the mountains this week. I'm the last person to dive into The Secret History, but I can't stop muttering "Judy Poovey" to myself in Tart's accent.

@dinfontay Ok, ok, ok. Downloaded forever ago and got lazy

@dinfontay I was juuuust about to respond to your latest newsletter with "I hear the drinks at Berghain are great!" but glad I read the whole thing.

@GQBound You get me. Also, I thought everyone my age was required to watch "Me and You and Everyone We Know."

@erperkin When Madeline's Madeline is RIGHT THERE??

I’ve talked to four people this week who didn’t know Miranda July’s work, and now I’m questioning my city/friend group.

While dining at a bar, how do you decide if you want to interact with the person seated next to you? (especially as a woman)

I always assume the bartender or server has more knowledge about the wine and menu than I do, but then I remember I also was once an arrogant 20-year-old waiting tables that couldn’t be bothered to learn the wine list.

If the DNC didn’t play Petey Pablo for NC, I was going to lose it.

I don’t get offended too often, but when the Uber driver switches the radio to country upon my entrance, I feel like I’ve gone wrong somewhere in my life.

Last summer, a rep for Fra'mani reached out to announce a nationwide mortadella sandwich competition. Now, every menu has mortadella. That PR company did its job. (I still don't like mortadella though)

@houseofbullock @GQBound I would rock this purse

This time of year, I plan my walks to take advantage of any mulberries, loquats, or pineapple guava flowers dangling over sidewalks.

@GQBound I’d like to talk to the manager about this comment.

@erperkin Def getting Park Slope mom vibes (but not bitchy)

I’ve gotten so many compliments today that I feel like I’m in some weird episode of Black Mirror. (My friend who lives in Wilmington said, “… people just aren’t that fashionable here so you’re probably impressing them .”) Should I move here?

In case anyone is wondering, the compliments have continued, despite me looking like I ended my evening at the weird Waffle House last (which I did). I’m beginning to suspect that the citizens of Wilmington are gaslighting me.

This sounds like a brag, but I’m so confused. (And it has also inflated my ego)

@porknwhiskey Hahahaha.

@erperkin This is some bullshit

This downtown street Waffle House in Wilmington is blowing my mind. What is a Waffle House without a parking lot and ramp full of employees smoking cigarettes?

@sun67girl I’m going to give it a try after the bars tonight!

@elcidga Exactly!!!!

@erperkin Does Waffle House corporate know about this? How can they properly scatter cover smother in that building?
