Woman, I swear you're infiltrating my brain.
Not only have I been wearing FMPs all weekend, but I'm online to do research on Billie Holiday- on whom I have to write a paper.

Creepy.

I don't have too much to say about the correlation of beauty and pain, but I had a conversation at the Broadway 5050 this weekend that made me realize something else interesting: martini glasses are just about the most inconvenient, illogical beverage container ever. Known fact. It's basically a moment of personal glory for waiters who are finally able to master the art of carrying a tray of filled martini glasses without dropping or spilling anything. Why? This is incredibly difficult due to the higher center of gravity.
The connection I'm trying to make here?
Martini glasses to high heels.

Your thoughts?

Yes, you're absolutely right. And they're just as difficult for the consumer as for the bartender. They're clumsy to drink out of, the first sip always spills on your shirt, and you feel like a child drinking out of her first big-girl cup because of the wide brim.

But they sure are pretty. And I love me some ice-cold martinis.

Damnit all to hell, Andrea.

You go and make a wonderfully articulate response that is better than any answer I could have given you to your own question you posed several weeks ago; and you somehow manage to tie it up in such a way that it's apparent to you and to all that this was your response, that you took the question and made it your bitch when you answered it.

I hate you.

<3 Chris.
