Nodding in NOLA
I'm a wayward soul at a fork in the road. I'm in New Orleans for now, but next year maybe Nepal, the Netherlands, New York? Who knows?

Here’s this week’s Time Out New York column, on Professor’s Wives …
And how I wouldn’t mind being dating a Professor - something, for the record! - I have yet to experience. Georgetown’s Jesuits didn’t provide a lot of opportunities, thanksverymuch.
Except for the boys lax team. hehe.
Julia Allison, you’re writing is an embarrassment to the English language. If you don’t intuitively know how to use an em dash (and those should be em dashes, although you’ve used hyphens, SIGH), that is as you would use parentheses or a set of commas, you should not be writing professionally. We haven’t read your column, uh, EVER, but we’ll assume there’s a team of beleaguered assistant editors working day and night to make it readable. And yet you are the one perched on a bookcase, staring us down with your creepy “LIKE ME!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!” look on your face, seeming for all the world like the head cheerleader freshly back from a makeout session because ew why else would she be in the like library or whatever. By the way, we just noticed you “like any conversation encompassing sociology, biology, psychology, philosophy, architecture, media, technology, feminism, personal growth…” So that’s pretty wrong, both diction- and otherwise.
Also, those tights make you look like you have a skin disease. What made you think that was a good idea?
I hate when grammar rants are ruined by poor grammar. I vote that people who don’t understand how contractions work should stick to two words. Is it really that hard to figure out that you’re is both a snappier version of you are and completely unrelated to your?
