(This post has almost nothing to do with the weather).
Once upon a time, on a slightly intoxicated evening as an undergrad pulling an all-nighter in my studio, I made the following list.
Places That Really Should Deliver (at 3am):
- Bakeries - cheesecake especially, but chocolate éclairs would do. Cinnamon buns in the morning.
- McDonald's - I want 27 chicken nuggets and I want them now.
- Diners - I know they're open 24 hours, but what if I want them to bring stuff to me?? Also, you should be able to order bacon by the pound.
- Liquor stores - So you don't have to drink and drive.
- Bars - Seriously, a margarita, like right here? In a lidded container with a straw? Oh yes.
- CVS - When you're really sick, like so sick you have to miss class or work, how come you have to drive there to get your NyQuil? And what if you really needed Imodium?
- Dunkin Donuts - Breakfast sandwiches should always appear like magic at your door (this was illustrated with a little flying sausage and cheese croissant with a halo and rays of light).
- Nine West - Some brand new high heels would be perfection right now.
At the end of the list, I had also scrawled "Diet Coke in kegs." I have always been a dreamer.
I stand by every one of these suggestions, and sometimes I fantasize about reasonably priced concierge websites to fulfill my every whim and desire. With the weather being what it is at the moment, I think it would be wonderful to be able to give someone money to bring me things.
All this is to say that today was my last official class of grad school, and I'm pretty damn stoked. Yes, I have papers to write still and things to drop into mailboxes, but the end is in sight!
