“That’s what I like about your generation. You guys aren’t afraid to wear really stupid things.” — Caitlin’s dad.
Okay, I know I made fun of faux-fur hats when I was in New York; I saw them everywhere, and they look ugly and retarded. That being said, now that I’m back in San Francisco, and no one wears fur hats, all the sudden, I MUST have one. I mean, I know it rarely gets cold enough even to see your breath here (actually, more the reason to want one), but mark my words, faux-fur hat is going to be my first “WTF, you’re an idiot. You know you can’t buy groceries this week now, right?” purchase of 2010.

So You Didn’t Go to Homecoming
Posted in COLLEGE, east coast vs. west coast, txt msg, Weekend Wars with tags darties, dear mexico: thank you for tacos, drunk texts, getting too old for this, homecoming, man v. food is the best show on tv, sorry for waking you up, taco supreme, tailgating, the mexican is way better on the west coast on October 12, 2009 by thedith
Last weekend was every college graduate’s favorite holiday: Homecoming; an excuse to drink profusely during the day, tailgate a football game you have no intention of going to, and make out with that kid who was in your sophomore year Post-Modernism class — but who’s name escapes you right now.
Being 3,000 miles away, I couldn’t go this year. So, instead, I decided to get moderately drunk and send drunken text messages to those who were attending Homecoming. This would have been more appropriate if there wasn’t a three-hour time difference, meaning my texts were received between the hours of 3am and 5am. Whatever.
Well, I Think This Is Cool…
Posted in east coast vs. west coast, New York City, San Francisco with tags i still wish i had a car, new york can suck it, sf most walkable city, take that suckas!, walkability on July 11, 2009 by thedith
Another reason why New York can suck it: Walkscore, a website that tells you how “walkable” your town/’hood is, has ranked San Francisco the most walkable city in the U.S. New York comes in at number 2. Wah wahh, sorry, Mel…
My neighborhood came in at a 98 on the Walkability scale, meaning I live in a “Walker’s Paradise,” which is not as awesome as the Coolio song from the mid-90’s, but I’ll take it.
Conversely, the suburban town I grew up in, scored a 15 for “Car Dependent.” I only wish this website had existed back when I was in high school. Maybe then my parents would have gotten me my own car.
Here’s some more info about how walkability is determined. Also, calculate the walkability of your own ‘hood.
Top 5 Walkable U.S. Cities:
1. San Francisco
2. New York
3. Boston
4. Chicago
5. Philadelphia
