overheard recently

in the grocery store: an older lady telling another one that she had to watch soylent green and that it would "make the hair stand up on the back of [her] head" and that it would "change her life."

some yuppie gals to each other on avenue A: "that's a great hat," about my hat. (not that i'm not technically a yuppie, but i've been living in the east village ever since i was broke and it was dangerous, well, kind of dangerous.)

at a party: "hey everybody! skrit steak has arrived: let's get this party ended!" i found out what that meant right quick.
