Global Warming much?
I saw a girl wearing cut off shorts purchasing a Christmas tree at 9:15pm. In New York City. On the cusp of December. It’s currently 12:10am and the temperature is 65 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT!!!
I remember the good ole days in MA when it snowed in October. That was 2000.
While NYC may be in a “Coastal Plain Evergreen” biome and MA is in a “Temperate Eastern Deciduous”...

Natalie: Is it really called computre-box?
Me: No.
Natalie: Are you calling me dumb?
Me: No. I just didn't know the French word for computer.
Natalie: oh well cause in Spanish its something like machina de computer.
Me: I wish it was called computre-box, then I'd go into the French equivalent of circuit city and say "Donne-moi un computre-box si vous plait!"
Me: Oh it's called ordinateur.
Natalie: I KNEW THAT! DUMB! DUMB!

Clerk 1: Hey, you know, we've also got a great collection of used CDs. Did I ever tell you about that time I went trick or treating with Carlos D of Interpol?
Customer: No. I don't know you sir.

Customer: Oh...Halloween's in October.

Clerk 2: Yeah, he celebrates Black History month in November.
Clerk 1: I heard a lot of black people are going to start doing that too.
Clerk2: He's their leader.

Proverbs and idioms
Lately I’ve been really into reading proverbs and idioms and trying to understand them and their origins. Where does one draw the line between a proverb and an idiom?

The exhibit was probably 1/3 Picasso pieces and the other 2/3 was made up of nine different American artist who had been greatly influenced by Picasso. The exhibit was pretty interesting, I especially liked the Stuart Davis pieces and the Lichtenstein...
