Alicia invites me to her friend Carrie's going-away party at Carrie's house in Brooklyn.




Carrie is leaving for India and Nepal in the next couple weeks, but will be back soon.











At one point, for some reason, the evening degenerates into a display of "stupid human tricks". Collectively, the people at this party can:

- open a tube of chapstick with belly button;
- turn belly button from an innie into an outie;
- fold tongue in three places;
- vibrate tongue;
- vibrate half of face;
- pull ears up or down and have them stay that way with no muscular effort whatever.

For the record, I can't do any of these things.


PS. Soy milk is ass, but some things must be done....
