On Change You Can Believe In (In Your Bag)
I FEEL you on the no backtracking. The second I’m over the threshold, there is no going back. I also refuse to run errands here and there – one outing, ALL ERRANDS. And maybe $20 is too much for a hypothetical cash emergency – five bucks would have been fine, and a five can be used for an emergency bottle of water when you’re parched, an emergency gallon of gas if you’re suddenly out, or an emergency tube of cheap stockings if you ever have a stocking-related emergency. Little things! Spend the part of the $5 you need and give the rest to a busker or something.

On Too Busy To Wash Your Hair
I use it during Bonnaroo because there you're not just dealing with regular no-shower greasiness, but also hot southern summer sweats, which really ratchet up one's grossness. I'd never use it in a normal day-to-day context, though.

On What We Want to Buy
I know what I want to buy: well made, long-lasting, attractive furniture. I’m pushing 30, and feel ashamed of myself for still populating my house with collapsing IKEA cabinets and stained castoff chairs. I need (yes, need) a nice sofa & loveseat, dining set, bedroom set, hutch (or credenza), and desk. The cheap stuff I have is falling apart. It looks tacky, and I’m not a college student any more. I honestly don’t know where I might be living in 5, 10, or 20 years, but I know I’ll want to bring along furniture I don’t have to apologize for.

On The State of Things: 100 Martinis and Vermont
Two drinks makes EVERYONE sleepy, that's why you have to grab a third to segue into tipsy. Not that I'm trying to turn you into a binge drinker or anything.

On Our Moral Tastebuds and Why the Working-Class Votes for the Political Right
I really struggled with the "poking a random child with a pin" question. I eventually went with "Never, for any amount of money." But man. $100,000 was pretty tempting for a minute.
