That’s what I do. I drink and I know things.

Through the Drinking Glass (No. 1)
A bi-weekly series interviewing people and their drinking habits.
Watch / Read / Listen (No. 1)
Watch:
- Dope. How to apply to Harvard, starting from the Bottoms. Kick-ass songs and witty dialogue work to emphasize a powerful message.
- Carpool Karaoke with James Corden. A new favorite next to Kimmel’s “Mean Tweets.” The segments with Jason Derulo and Adele are so Gucci.
Read:
- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Death delicately relives the terrible WWII days. He fixates on Liesel, a German orphan, and her pursuit of books.
- Lena Dunham’s “Don’t take it personally when I tell you no.” She reminds us yet again of her writing talents in this relatable and honest piece.
Listen:
- Oh Wonder. Indie-pop duo with a sultry harmony and upbeat tempo. Include the tracks “Lose It” and “Drive” for that road trip mixtape.
- BØRNS. Velvety smooth and refreshing. Jam to “Past Lives” and wallow with “The Emotions,” the best breakup song since A Fine Frenzy’s “Almost Lover.”

Where do you want to eat? I don’t care.
My friend or was it cousin? I remember things said but not whom. He/she had this great idea to name a restaurant I Don’t Care. Think about it:
Him/her: Where do you want to eat?
You: I don’t care.
Him/her: Alright, let’s go. Get in the car.
Until that happens, buy groupons! With groupon in phone, we sashayed our way to the Warehouse District and tried the Asian fusion restaurant Rebellion Bar & Kitchen. Decision made. Fight prevented. Couch unoccupied.
Vibe: industrial, artist loft, fancy basement
Cocktail: Wind Up Bird: soju, gin, orgeat (pronounced or-zsa), lime juice, orange bitters
Food Favorites: brussel sprout salad, katsuo fries
