Oh cool! Another person I know just got engaged! And another vodka soda just got poured down my throat.
How come no one told me when you turn 24, suddenly everyone gets engaged over the holidays? Maybe because they knew I’d get the idea in my head to fuck up a perfectly wonderful relationship, JUST TO BE DIFFERENT! Hey, Nick, want to break up?

Most restaurants, especially the kind my family frequents, fall into the neighborhood/creole/home-cookin’ category, which means gravy-drenched meat poboys, fried seafood platters, and cream and butter-laden stews. Even...

Patient H.M. Dies at 82
Henry Gustav Molaison lived in incredible life. In 1953, a surgery to treat an intractable case of epilepsy left Molaison unable to form new memories. Sue Corkin and other researchers’ work with patient H.M.
