Mireille Giuliano and I are remarkably similar in size--her height and weight are given in this NYT profile, and I'd have to say I find it amusing that someone with whom I could easily share clothes (and gladly would, if she offered) is dispensing advice on precisely what one must eat to remain those dimensions. According to Giuliano, "Life is too short to drink bad wine and to eat bad food." According to similarly-proportioned Maltz, midterms week is too hectic to make the planned trip to Whole Foods, and wine is but a distant memory. So, in the interests in offering the time-pressed (or those with a distaste, politically-motivated or otherwise, for French cuisine) an alternative, here's what I've eaten so far today:
Part of a greasy cranberry muffin. By "part of" I mean the sugar-coated muffin-top only.
Black coffee.
Skim mocha.
1 slice cheese pizza from the new GSB cafeteria.
Part of one eh granny smith apple. By "part of" I mean until it started to taste "eh."
"Fred's Gluten"--a vegetarian stirfry at a mediocre Thai restaurant whose name shall not be mentioned--with rice.
1 Twix and 1 diet Coke, with a side order of physci cramming.
I might be forgetting something--there's sort of this haze that I'm guessing was somewhere between the midterm I took this morning and studying for the one I have tomorrow...Somehow I think the "Stressed-out Chicago Student Paradox" book wouldn't sell, which is sort of unfair, since it apparently has the exact same result.

Chicago sure sounds glamorous, what with the alleys and the gluten.
There's actually a strikingly similar alley right next to the gluten-serving restaurant.
This is a bit off-topic, I realize, but did you study in Paris, Phoebe?
Yeah--who's asking, btw?
Hey Phoebe, how old are you btw? If you keep eating like that, we'll see how much you weigh when you're 40...Mireille Giuliano isn't 20 years old anymore, remember...;-)
The Snail on 55th street. Called out! Snap!
This is the most perfect quotation I could get in here "Life is too short to drink bad wine and to eat bad food." because I think that life is perfect because we have to live every single moment and eating what we want.
