I should go to more Grinnelligentsia parties.

Quotes from the Oscar party I went to:

• "Side cleavage is the new front cleavage!"
• (While watching Counting Crows play "Accidentally in Love":) "This is the happiest song they've ever recorded. Most of the time they're, like, 'I slit my wrists in Baltimore and my girlfriend's a narcoleptic.'"

There were more, but they're a lot less funny sans context.

I should go to more Grinnelligentsia parties. It's pretty fun.

I also get the apparently-not-lived-in-Chicago-long-enough award for nearly getting lost in the West Loop and then almost putting Chris underwhelm on the Blue Line in the wrong direction.

Andrew flaccus, do you mean to tell me that your cookies already arrived? Yeah Priority Mail.
