  Worms, germs, and Christmas by David Sedaris

  07.31.05 | Permalink | Comment?

  Also from this week’s NYer, a fun story by David Sedaris, It’s Catching:

  “Well, you’d never lie on a hotel bedspread, would you?” she asked, and again: why not? I might not put it in my mouth, but to stretch out and make a few phone calls—I do it all the time.
  “But you wash the phone [...]

  “Coffee did not replace alcoholic beverages”

  From the NYer: Liquid Assets, a history of the world through six beverages:

  “Western Europe began to emerge from an alcoholic haze that had lasted for centuries,” Standage writes of the coffeehouse era. He describes coffee as “the great soberer” and thus “the ideal beverage for the Age of Reason,” the “preferred drink of scientists, intellectuals, [...]

  We Netflixed Manhattan Murder Mystery with Woody Allen and Diane Keaton today. It was hilarious! It’s about a New York couple who suspects their older neighbor has killed his wife. No more details…

  The NYT asks, “Will ‘The Simpsons’ Ever Age?

  IF a person were to, for the sake of art or science, sit down and watch every episode of “The Simpsons” ever made, it would take him more than a week of no-sleep, back-to-back viewing in 350 half-hour increments.
  In that marathon the viewer would learn that life on [...]

  Vanity Fair…

  Is the name of a magazine, a movie and an apparel company. But where did the phrase come from? And what does it mean? Am I the only ignorant one?
