“I grew up with an impatience with the anti-scientific. So I’m a bit miffed with our current love affair with all things Eastern. If I sneeze on the set, 40 people hand me echinacea. But I’d no sooner take that than eat a pencil. Maybe that’s why I took up boxing. It’s my response to men in white pajamas feeling each other’s chi.

“If you have ever stood by a waterfall or in a deep forest full of evergreens and felt exhilarated, you have felt the effects of negatively ionized air. The normal ion count in fresh country air is 2,000 - 4,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. At Yosemite Falls, you’ll experience over 100,000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. On the other hand, on a Los Angeles freeway the negative ion count is below 100 per cubic centimeter.”

Erika Lopez Builds Her Own Utopia by Eryn Loeb from The Rumpus

I’m so glad I stumbled on this little blurb about Erika Lopez. I love her book Flaming Iguanas. I never knew she had more books out there, and is still cranking some out. frijoles tibios! (yeah, it’s my phrase, don’t steal it :P )

“Leave behind your girlfriends in the cubicles with the eternally exasperated ‘Cathy’ and everlastingly poignant ‘Ziggy’ cartoons pinned to the partitions. The same ones who eat sugar-free Jell-O cups… We eat sugar-free nothing, for we ARE sugar: Granular. Unrefined. Evil.” ~ Erika Lopez

Jan. 9, 1930: “The latest thing in speakeasies: Sergeant Frank T. Zimmie and Detective Joseph Pallinado of the Philadelphia Police, exhibiting one of the twelve pint bottles of liquor cached in the papier-mâché clothes dummy, draped with an evening gown, found in the tailor shop they raided.” Two days later, The Times published an article about claims of a “police protected” speakeasy made at a luncheon of the Women’s Organization for Prohibition Reform in Philadelphia.

What real relationships are like… if you’re lucky ;)

Just one of many great lines from the movie:

Nick: I’m a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune.
Nora: I read where you were shot five times in the tabloids.
Nick: It’s not true. He didn’t come anywhere near my tabloids.
