from what i have surmised about opportunity costs and markets, i tried to explain to stanford what an ‘open relationship’ meant. So here’s what i told him:

“An open relationship is like when you are consuming this good but the good knows that if a better good penetrates your market, then the old good becomes opportunity cost.”

I have no idea how accurate that explanation was, what with my shallow understanding of the nuances of economic terms,  although i received an enlightened ‘oh’ accompanied by the brightening and widening of my friend’s eyes.

but as much as i would like to feel good about myself for being able to ‘apply’ economic theories to real life scenarios (an exercise which econs zealots relentlessly tell me is FUN), i feel very disturbed by the fact that that was probably my highest academic achievement of the day.

“Like a comet pulled from orbit,
as it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder,
halfway through the wood

Who can say if I have been changed
for the better?

But because I knew you,
I have been changed for good.”

CAUTION: Profanity and some serious breakage of the third commandment.

LOL

but it’s good to know that they’ll never let me fall all the way down.

a friend once told me that I will not survive the real world because my head is always stuck in the clouds.

well now i know why.

I don’t wanna survive.

I wanna live.

Alon: You don’t drink coke, you don’t eat fried things, but you would eat this brand of butter which is nearly 100% fats?

Julie: Erm… It’s the exception to my diet.

Alon (handing Julie a basket of sliced baguette and a stick of butter): Straight to the hips then…

Julie walks out of the room. 10 seconds later, she comes back, opens the fridge and returns the butter inside.

Julie (glaring at Alon): Olive oil and balsamic vinegar please.
