ewwtoes··on Everything I Am Afraid Might Happen If I Ask New Acquaintances to Get Coffee
We had a tornado briefly touch down in Brooklyn maybe 7 years ago and the sky definitely turned that green, it was the first time I had experienced that. I had read about that before and knew to get away from the windows. Luckily we were fine, but a brownstone a couple doors down had its skylights blown out.

Even if it's 105 degrees on the subway platform trying to get back to Brooklyn I'll still be wearing black jeans or pants. Shorts are for boys, tourists, and the beach.

Recently my girlfriend told me to pack some shorts for a trip to the Caribbean coast of a Latin American country and I bet her that there was no way the locals were going to be wearing shorts. I won.

ewwtoes··on Why I pitched barefoot at Demo Day, and tips for being relaxed on stage
Coming from NYC, one of my irrational peeves is men in sandals or barefoot when not at the beach. Every time I walk around SF I can't stop noticing slobby looking men with their toes on display. How hard is it to put on a nice pair of shoes?
