singing in the elevator
This evening I found myself riding the elevator all alone, so I started singing to myself. My building may have the worst elevators in all of New York City, and they tend to deliver each passenger to their selected floor without stopping for any pick-ups along the way. As the elevator ascended to the roof, I wondered if there were waiting, neglected people who could hear me as I belted tunes...

Conversations with my mother
Mom: What class was the project you were working on for?

Turk'y burger
Today I came home from my internship looking forward to the best (read: only) thing I had in my refrigerator for dinner: Turkey Burgers!
I purposefully prolonged the satisfaction and enjoyment of eating them until I accomplished a decent amount of work, and then finally pulled them out to heat them up, only to find that they were meatless Turk’y Burgers…
