- The Egg

There's this great short story by Andy Weir entitled, "The Egg." In it, Weir suggests that all the people on the earth are actually different incarnations of you. Essentially, every time you harm someone you harm yourself; every time you do good to others, you are doing good to yourself.

Vintage Ad #1,240: We've Cheesed Off Some of the World's Choicest Cheddars
Stouffer's makes some darn good macaroni and cheese. The trick is to overcook it a bit so that the edges are slightly burnt and crispy. I obviously have a refined palate.

Campbell Soup Cans by Andy Warhol
When I was around six years old my family took a cruise to Alaska. The fond memories I have of staying up past 11 for the first time(!) to attend an ice sculpture show, learning how to fold napkins and cut fruit decoratively, being introduced to the game Mancala, and sleeping on a gnarly bunk bed are tainted by the fact that I had a recurring nightmare about our Cruise ship sinking every night.
I used to have nightmares a lot when I was younger. It always frustrated me that I could wake up from a nightmare, fall back asleep, and pick up right where that nightmare left off but could not do the same for my happy dreams.
My nightmares were mostly about natural disasters. I don't know if my nightmares were a result of my preoccupation with natural disaster safety protocols or if it was the other way around. I just remember taking earthquake drills really seriously in elementary school, begging my Mom to buy me an escape ladder in case of fire, and preparing a disaster kit with saltines, low sodium canned soup, peanut butter, and water.

- Ray, Rachael.

I once "met" Rachael Ray at a book signing at a Williams Sonoma. Okay so it was more like "breathed the same air as," because I didn't have the patience to wait in a ridiculously long line. I should have though! I was sick that day and my sick voice sounds a lot like Rachael Ray. I could have shown her.
