There is never a good reason to go to the OC but when I do, it’s to go to the Segerstrom.

In the original story, her name was Marie. Alexandre Dumas adapted the story and made it less spooky, renaming the heroine Clara. Dumas’s version of the story was adapted into the original ballet. But it seems Balanchine returned to the original name.

I was in Atlanta visiting friends during the 1997 Freaknik. I’m a white guy, at the time in my mid-20s. Looks like they were having a blast. Didn’t look any different than any white Spring Break, except it was in landlocked Atlanta and not at a beach. Shutting down I-75 to pedestrian traffic was nuts though.

White people were terrified of this party. I attended Emory University at this time and listening to some people you might have thought Freaknik was armageddon. 

I heard about Freaknik in 87 when I was in DC so that part sounds legit. But VA Beach was reaching its zenith then. After the students were run out of there then you stay hearing about those trips south. 

Yeah but, one doesn’t chop the woody ends of fresh asparagus off with a knife! 

I know. If you aren’t making a mess while cooking, you aint cookin

Absolutely. My grandmother would just tell you to sit down. Wouldn’t even try to be patient or say “good job.”

The video is pretty tame. It’s nothing that a southern mother wouldn’t say to her child’s face, even in the presence of company.

Having a completely white kitchen with every single speck standing out would probably drive me to insanity.

My gay heart is excited imagining a new show featuring Patti Labelle and Mariah Carey. The problem is, it would last only for one short episode as there would be no survivors.

The real question is, what year is his Camaro?

I’m pretty sure the common thread here is marijuana. The employees got freaked out by a customer and hid in the back: high. Dude goes to CVS in the middle of the night looking for cheese and spends 45 minutes wandering around the store: high.

Awwwww, but he brings back good memories of singing Tom Jones songs on the karaoke machine with my dad. Although, now that I think about it, the lyrics were wayyyyy inappropriate for an 8-year old. Hahaha

the outfits they are wearing are probably worth tens of thousands of dollars and I think they look like fabulous soul sucking witches I would like to subscribe to their lifestyle blog i bet it comes w free cocaine

That was my thought also - we don’t have unpaid interns, but we definitely expect interns to work as hard as any analyst-level person (albeit with a ton of a support, latitude, and help - generally the hours are similar, but the responsibilities are not). Very different industry, though.

50 hours a week also seems like, I don’t know, pretty average? And I most assuredly receive and send emails at 10pm at night for work for next day.

His instagram page is an art piece.

I got nary a one right. Not sure if that is good or bad.
