In Ithaca, Comrade Finds You

So I was walking through Park the other day innocently enough, just going to the bathroom/taking a breather from Multi and out of nowhere I see my ex walking up the stairs.

We say hi, exchange some pleasantries, the like. I have nothing against the guy. I just, you know...

...thought he graduated.

The beauty of breaking up with someone and them graduating is that you don't see them again. And then in your school he pops up because he's dating another girl (who's really fun).

I just want to walk through Park and know that I won't run into people, you know?

I Don't Think It's About Gardening

I thought that we as a society had all gotten past the whole feminine product commercial awkwardness. I mean, yeah, you don't want to think about what it's for, but it's necessary, and television ads reach pretty much all the customers these companies would ever ask for. But I was watching some pointless countdown on E! today and this commercial came on for the Schick Quattro bikini line trimmer.

I understand that hygiene and proper grooming are important, but it's not really all that subtle what they're referring to. And really, I don't want to watch commercials about a product to trim pubes. I'm not morally outraged or anything, I'm just saying that the commercial is a little awkward. I will give it this, though: it's waaaaaaaaay more subtle than this version.

(Although that second version is pretty funny. Thanks to my old roomie for that viral bit)
