thursday april 2

today i went to the whippoorwill for dinner. most of the time when i eat there, i order their hamburger, one of my favourites in the city. this time around though, i opted to try something new, declaring "you only live once!" when i made the decision not to get the burger. of course, it turned out that i actively disliked the dish i did order, which showed why you have to be careful about how you use "you only live once." my line of thinking should have been: you only live once, so why risk paying $20 for something that you’re not sure you’ll love?
