Dimanche, au marché près de Montparnasse, les grand-mères appellent leur petit-fils du prénom de leur fils. Je passe trois heures au marché en regardant les gens habillés chic car ils reviennent de l’église. Ils cherchent les couleurs vivantes de fruits et tous les petits garçons préfèrent les mangues. Les grand-mères sont d’accords qu’il est difficile [...]

Me: I always get urges to feed my bonsai tree green tea instead of water. Ellen: Wouldn’t that be like, cannibalism? ——- She asked me when the kids are most charming. ”When they have pasta,” I said. ——- Coffee is the second most traded item in the world. Oil is the first. Not enough people [...]

In March of each year, as dear old St. Patrick has his day, as iron-on t-shirt graphics of shamrocks appear and bros take a half-day off work to start drinking in the early afternoon, the Chicago River is dyed a kelly green so brilliant that people without disposables or digitals take low resolution photos with [...]

I once dated a girl who compulsively counted stairs. You couldn’t talk to her while going up or down, she was counting. She hated the third floor of my four floor walk up apartment because it was the only flight with an uneven number of stairs. What I want to know: WHAT ARE THEY HIDING [...]
