on various things

on swimsuits:
victoria's secret has a bikini called "poisson d'amour." now, is my french confused, or does this mean "fish of love"? does this mean if you wear this swimsuit you become a mermaid or something? maybe this is just another sign that shopping for swimsuits on the victoria's secret website is a bad idea, just as shopping for clothes there is a bad idea, since you can hardly even find the clothes amongst the models. but where else to look after j. crew?

on being rejected from your backup school:
at least my advisor just laughed at them and said it showed how even more obviously inept their department is.

on not having heard from *very prestigious univeristy* that has rumored to already have made its decisions:
should i go do a voodoo dance or something? or did they lose my application?

on j.crew shoes being made by the same manufacturers as gucci and prada:
a very snottily gay j.crew salesperson in seattle told me this. does this actually make them better shoes? i mean, they still aren't gucci shoes, no matter who sews them together. and isn't the fact that they're j.crew shoes good enough to begin with?

on amazon trying to sell me books about nelson mandela:
just because i buy things for ihum does not, unfortunately, mean i'm socially conscious.

on ihum applicants having recs from jacques derrida:
craaazy. i didn't quite realize he was actually a person. i mean, he's not now, because he's dead, but you know. wait, it isn't a violation of confidentiality if i don't say who it was, right?

on my new yellow sweater from j.crew:
sooo soft.

on love-o-grams:
ridiculous.

that definitely means fish of love. actually, fish o' love. sounds like it should come wrapped in a newspaper, with chips and vinegar.
