fertile playground

I’ve been reading this one young woman’s blog for years. She’s written about her career (her blog got famous for her anonymous slicing of the Manhattan law firm (and lawyers) she worked for), her love life, herself — she’s written about all that, and more, and two bags of chips.

I was critical of the public’s reaction to Heath Ledger’s death. Now that I’ve seen Dark Knight, I am sad he’s gone.

I got into a screaming match with a dude on a bike yesterday.
