Zadie Smith writes beautifully. It's like her prose has a soft, hard-to-place accent that makes every word feel closer to truth than your own. She lives on a cloud with easy access to angels and the divine, but telescopic vision to the people below.
So, when I heard she'd penned an essay on The Social Network and Facebook called "Generation Why?" I read it eagerly, wanting her to explain me to myself, to name us right.
On the movie itself, she's brilliant. Her analysis of how the film works and its role in American cinema, its actors, are all top-notch. And when she goes deeper -- like you knew she would -- probing for the meaning of Facebook, she lands at precisely the right question.
"Is it really fulfilling our needs? Or are we reducing the needs we feel in order to convince ourselves that the software isn't limited?" Smith asks. I wonder this same thing nearly every day, but I come to very different conclusions than she does about the value of Facebook and its ilk -- and how it is that we might counteract the deleterious effects of technology.
"When a human being becomes a set of data on a website like Facebook, he or she is reduced," she writes. "Everything shrinks. Individual character. Friendships. Language. Sensibility. "Facebook, though it binds us together, cares not for "the quality of that connection, the quality of the information that passes through it, the quality of the relationship that connection permits."
She cites Malcolm Gladwell and Jaron Lanier for backup on her point that "social networking software explicitly encourages people to make weak superficial connections with each other." She wonders whether "the whole Internet will simply become like Facebook: falsely jolly, fake-friendly, self-promoting, slickly disingenuous."
You might guess that I disagree with nearly everything in that last paragraph. While I don't doubt that the tools we use shape our relations, we don't have to give away all human agency. Let's consider the metaphor she uses for how software shapes humans.
"And then consider further that these designs, so often taken up in a slap-dash, last-minute fashion, become 'locked in,' and because they are software, used by millions, too often become impossible to adapt, or change," she writes. "MIDI, an inflexible, early-1980s digital music protocol for connecting different musical components... takes no account of say, the fluid line of a soprano's coloratura; it is still the basis of most of the tinny music we hear every day -- in our phones, in the charts, in elevators -- simply because it became, in software terms, too big to fail, too big to change."
It's true that MIDI qua MIDI makes crappy music. Everyone knows that it flattens music out. But then humans get a hold of it and reinflate it with meaning. We hear the Mario Brothers theme music, and it is like the smell of a warm summer day, musky little boys testing their reflexes against a mysteriously evil turtle and his minions. MIDI and synthesizers more generally opened up making music to new types of people, who heard the flat tones (absent coloratura) and thought, "There are many instruments like this, but this one is mine." To make the story way too short: the flatness of MIDI does not indict all of electronic music. And we do not confuse its tones for that of the trumpet, nor like the latter less because of the former.
To put it more bluntly, as one of my Twitter followers, Brian Frank, wrote, "I think what Smith, Lanier don't appreciate is humans will always find new ways to stay human--not be passively 'reduced.'"
And I expected, mostly, that Smith would get that. Her wonderful book, The Autograph Man, was a testament to our ability to make deep meaning -- to make lives -- out of any pursuit or dataset. But she doesn't see Facebook as capable of being a meaningful part of a life. And I'm really trying hard to comprehend why. I've come up with three reasons that I think may explain more generally why big-name writers so often seem appalled by that which hundreds of millions adore.
First, there's the aesthetic revulsion of so much bad writing, so many misspellings, so much butchered language and LOLs. The lack of proper punctuation! The stupid exclamation points!!!! There is nothing literary about the simple communications between most people on Facebook or Twitter. When Smith invents a farewell message posted on a dead woman's wall, "Sorry babes! Missin' you! Hopin' u iz with the Angles. I remember the jokes we used to have LOL! PEACE XXXXX" she recoils not from the sentiment, but from the aesthetic. She even tries to catch herself, saying, "When I read something like that I have a little argument with myself: 'It's only poor education. They feel the same way as anyone would, they just don't have the language to express it."
But I read that, and I say: She did express her feelings. Would "my condolonces" have been any more profound or heartfelt? Or merely more seemly.
It's key to Smith's reasoning that Facebook implicitly creates more opportunities for people to say maudlin, ugly, or otherwise silly things. But we've been expressing ourselves in ways like that forever. Consider even good pop music. One of the best punk rock love songs of all time, "Ever Fallen in Love With Someone" goes like this, "You stir my natural emotions / You make me feel I'm dirt /And I'm hurt / And if I start a commotion /I run the risk of losing you / And that's worse / Ever fallen in love with someone?" And as we all know, this is just one example out of hundreds of thousands.
Perhaps I've been inured to this sense of a fallen English language because I've rooted around in the history of technology. I've read telegraphs between figures who were decidedly non-literary and engineers' papers. If your vision of the past language is mostly Melville -- the stuff that's endured -- then, yeah, English seems like it's in damn sorry shape. But if it includes all those other low and middle-brow writings, the bad letters, the telegraphs, the stupid poems, you end up with a spikier, less formal take on language. Consider that in 1870, 20% of the population was illiterate. Surely, on that basis alone, we now live in a far better place for words. Or consider the way dialect writers, like a Ben Brierley, tried to capture how normal people talked (and presumably wrote, whenever they did if they could). He would write things like, "They tell me these wenches con write books, play th' payano like angels, an' talk like saints. But I wonder what they'd do wi' a stockin ut's too much dayleet letten in at one window."
Perhaps this is an old argument, one about the sanctity of language, but I think it's newly important. When professional writers, especially ones trained in the literary arts, see horrifically bad writing online, they recoil. All their training about the value of diverse (or, you know, heteroglossic) societies and the equality of classes goes flying out the window. Social media acts as a kind of truth serum, as Marshall Kirkpatrick likes to say: This is how the masses of people talk. This is how the masses of people write. Not moonlighting bloggers. Not the 20 million NPR listeners. But the other 300 million people trying to LOL their way through boring days at office jobs or in Iraq.

Trouble for Apple's iTunes in Norway
By Steve Ragan Jan 29, 2007, 16:37 GMT
April fools day is too far off for this to be a prank. Norway really did declare Apples popular music store and is product illegal. In what many including major news services are calling the strangest, if not the most ridiculous, move ever against a company. Norways consumer ombudsman ruled iTunes illegal because the files downloaded from it cannot be played on rival music players.
Let that sink in and think of this. The deadline, October 1, 2007, was set for Apple to have source and other related code available to other technology companies. Failure to do so will result in them being taken to court with the threat of operations being shutdown in the country. Now while that seems harsh, add to the fact that Germany, Sweden, France, and Finland, are also backing the Norwegians. If the other countries follow suit, and deny Apple the right to do business in their countries, that is a potential loss of hundreds of millions of consumers.
"They must make iTunes music compatible with other players than the iPod by the end of September, or we will take them to court," the ombudsman, Bjoern Erik Thon, told Reuters.
Once in court, Apple could face several different repercussions. What is likely to happen is Apple will be fined for each song downloaded, until they comply with the ombudsman complaint. Apples Fairplay technology means that songs downloaded form the number one online music source can only be played on the iTunes player or the Apple iPod. Consider that Apple owns the Fairplay code and it is proprietary to them alone, and that their format is unique to the point the files are not even MP3s they are M4P AAC files that are protected with the Fairplay DRM.
According to the complaints, this is illegal according to Norwegian law. Apple has not made a public comment on this issue, and does not appear to be in a hurry to do so. Why should they? This is almost a classic case of extortion. It would almost be better if they are fined and for them to count it as a separate business fee, and continue to operate as normal.
Many will argue and agree with the European countries. While the method is unique, Norway makes a point many will echo. If you bought it, then it should be yours to do with as you please. That may well be the case, but you also as a consumer have a right not to buy from a vendor who does not allow your freedom of choice.
That is the simple fact of most DRM providers. They forget that the consumer can and often will find a way to remove the protection, which is illegal, or they simply will shop somewhere else. No one said Apple iTunes was fair or right, but Apples policy, and the technology used is well known. Apple has never once attempted to hide the fact that their music only plays on their platforms. Why all of the sudden are so many starting to complain and why is a large consumer rights group threatening to sue?
Money, which is the simple answer and likely the case, because Fairplay blocks other companies from using the M4P AAC files iTunes offers. No one buys those companies products. In the interest of business, that is a fair assessment. It cuts others out of the market and no one can compete. However, unlike most cases where a company cuts out its competition, Apple is a unique brand. There are hundreds of places online to shop and download music. That music will play on any portable player, including the iPod. Apple just has more brand recognition, and more money for marketing.
As the consumer, and the ombudsman as a consumer rights group knows this, it is your choice on where, when and how you spend your money. If Apple and the Fairplay technology strip you of your rights, then do not buy from them. If your product cannot play M4P AAC files, then switch gears and market to the consumers who do not want M4P AAC files, and who want a choice as to what to do with their music. Attempting to force a company, as large as Apple, to meeting your demands will likely fail.
This story and Apples response will be interesting, and should make for good conversations around the office water cooler.

(ABC News) -- For the past week, leadership at the National Rifle Association has largely stayed away from the media, but this morning the group may weigh in on how to keep a deadly shooting massacre like last week's at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school from happening again.
The NRA will hold a news conference in Washington, D.C., just before 11 a.m.
Its leadership has held off on interviews this week after refusing to appear on Sunday morning public affairs shows this past weekend.
The group came under pressure after Adam Lanza, 20, killed 20 children and six adults before shooting himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown last Friday.
"Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting," the group said in a press release Tuesday. "The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again."
NRA News anchor Ginny Simone said Thursday that in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, membership surged "with an average of 8,000 new members a day."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said the NRA is partially to blame for the tragedy.
"We're not trying to take away your right to advance the interests of gun owners, hunters, people who want to protect themselves," Bloomberg told "Nightline" anchor Cynthia McFadden in an interview Thursday. "But that's not an absolute right to encourage behavior which causes things like Connecticut. In fact, Connecticut is because of some of their actions."

"We felt this enormous weight of undeserved power"
In 1995, I went to Kikwit in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, then Zaire, to produce a
documentary on the Ebola outbreak. When I arrived, news teams
from all over the world were clamouring to get inside the ward.
But local and international medical staff refused to let any
journalists in. Victims were dying a terrible death, and doctors
were concerned for their dignity - and for the safety of
reporters. I heard that one major American network's cameraman
tried to force his way in. He was jostled by a doctor, fell to
the ground and scraped his elbow on the cement floor. Suddenly,
he panicked at the possibility of contracting Ebola.
I had the luxury of hanging around long after reporters
went off to cover another story. I was able to cultivate
relationships with staff until they developed enough trust in my
story. I earned the right to film in the ward, to get to know the
patients and to get the footage I
Dutifully, I asked all the patients (or
their family members, if they were too sick to respond), if they
were okay with my shooting footage of them. Invariably they said
"yes," but was it truly informed consent? This is Africa, and the
reality is that none of them would say no to a white person.
Being surrounded by white doctors and scientists, there was an
assumption that I was in some way associated with the team that
was there to save them.
Journalistic ethics
require that we act as moral individuals and professionals. I
asked myself three questions: Are these images integral to
telling the story? Can I use these images in a way that is
respectful to the people I'm filming? Am I doing this without
harming the people I'm filming? At the time, the answer was yes
to all three questions.
But deep down, I also
know journalists go after stories with the goal of "seeing it
all," and this desire can influence us into making self-serving
decisions. When I started making documentaries, I thought if I
was able to tell an honest and balanced story, I could bring
films with a clear vision and a conscience to my audience. But
once I'd been in the field for a while, I realized that ethical
issues would force me to consider my influence on subjects and my
responsibility to those watching my films. My Ebola encounter
profoundly changed the way I viewed myself as a "director," as
did another, radically different
Recently, I produced and directed a
documentary called Sex Slaves, about the
trafficking of women from former Soviet bloc countries into the
global sex slave trade. I wanted to take people inside the world
of trafficking. I wanted to compel people to feel the horror so
that they might be motivated to act - to donate money or to
pressure their governments into taking action. The best way to
get inside was to go "undercover" with hidden
The rules of engagement seemed clear.
There was no way we could film these people openly - they were
engaged in heinous criminal acts - but it was in the public's
interest to see how trafficking works and how these people prey
on the vulnerable. Though there are many debates about covert
filming, I had no qualms in this context. Other issues that
weren't so clear-cut surfaced on location,
The film follows the unfolding story of
Viorel, a Ukrainian man whose pregnant wife was sold for $1,000
to a notorious pimp in Turkey. When I met Viorel, he had just
returned from an unsuccessful mission there, posing as a
trafficker to try to buy his wife back. He told me he was going
back to try again. When we offered to document this second
attempt to free his wife, he was openly enthusiastic. Suddenly,
he had a support system.
One issue I didn't
anticipate - perhaps naively - was that our relationship with
Viorel wouldn't allow for the comfortable distance my crew
usually maintains with subjects. We were no longer observers, but
participants who could influence the story's outcome. Viorel
sought our advice at each stage of the search. He began to relate
to us not as journalists, but as partners in a mission.
Ultimately, the only way to acknowledge this behind-thescenes
relationship was to film it. We ended up in the
Another issue came up when Viorel set up
a meeting with the wife of the pimp who forced his wife into
prostitution. Our plan was to follow him with hidden cameras and
get the meeting on tape, and we were successful. Now we had proof
that Viorel's wife was being held, that she was forced into
servicing clients and that her captors had paid off the police
for information. Yet Viorel was no closer to getting his wife
Out of desperation, Viorel decided he
wanted to use our incriminating undercover footage to threaten
the pimp. This made me extremely uncomfortable. Did I have an
obligation to use it to help him? Would I be responsible for
putting him, his wife and, frankly, my crew in more danger? My
crew and I discussed this at length and concluded that the stakes
were too high - using the footage might do more harm than good
for Viorel and his wife. He was quite upset, but I'm convinced we
made the right decision.
Because we'd become
part of the story, we felt this enormous weight of undeserved
power. We also found out how dangerous that power can be.
Luckily, the pimp eventually released Viorel's wife. She believes
her husband's ability to apply pressure on the traffickers had an
effect. Viorel believes he couldn't have done it without
Unlike many other professionals,
journalists in the field are pretty much on their own when facing
ethical considerations. It's important to ensure that our
ambitions as professionals don't conflict with our
responsibilities as human beings.

Dorm Style: Modern Feminine
You love things that are feminine, but not too girly. You have a keen eye for modern design. Oh, and you're on a shoestring budget. Sound familiar? Then this Dorm Style guide is for you.
Clockwise from top left:
Table lamp, $20
Acrylic side chair, $90
Velvet cushion, $32
Peel n' stick headboard (it's a vinyl decal!) in Twin, $40
Twin Duvet Cover, $89, and sham, $19
Metal side table, $20
Grey and Yellow for $138
Scandinavian Modern for $238
Moroccan Inspiration for $403

$90 for an acrylic chair that's not even suitable for desk work isn't "shoestring" in my view. Ditto the $32 cushion. I'm not saying these items aren't worth that much, but they seem like poor choices for a cash-strapped student.
Oo. I used to have that cushion - but in a dusky pink velour. Now my mother has it - my tastes have change.
I don't know about that chair, in particular.
That said, while I've never really liked the look of Louis ghost chairs, when I sat in one once, it was surprisingly comfortable. Still won't buy one though.
I too am amazed that in this day and time, we're still genderizing decor. There are several pieces up there that I would dearly love and that my very feminine princess wife would hate.
Well, do people really expect most males to like pink, ruffles, loopy writing, and dainty details?... It is what it is. Most men like clean lines and solid dark, SO this post is obviously for women. If you don't like it, guess what? Don't click on it...hello.
solid dark colors
As a former Resident Assistant, I find it surprising that AT is suggesting bringing your own furniture. Don't most schools supply that? Mine did - beds, dressers, desks, and chairs - and we weren't allowed to remove any of it. Ditto for all my friends' alma maters.
My roommate and I did manage to squeeze in my mini fridge, but there is no way we could have fit in side tables or a third chair.
Oh that chair is wonderful and only $90! I wish I had known about it earlier before spending more than I should have on the one I already own! LOL.
Just a note - I think that handwriting font has been used on all the preceding Dorm Style pieces.
My college provided all the furniture, too (gross furniture) so there wasn't really much I could do about that, but I would have loved that parachute duvet cover in my room! (Although more likely in the grey - dorm rooms are a little too multi-purpose to survive all white anything, methinks.)
Oh, that little metal IKEA table! I bought a red one years ago, when they came in cool colors (now only white, alas, according to the website) and it has travelled the world with us, serving in kitchens, front porches ... They used to make a 2-tiered plant stand along the same lines/material... sadly discontinued. Anyway, at 20 bucks the table is a steal.
@minuet42 - ditto on the font. if we're putting a gender spin on the fonts now, i would call it 'androgynous' since it was used in previous dorm style posts.
and as far as this 'feminine' room, i don't mind the use of gender stereotypes, but as a girl, i simply don't like it. does that make me a man for liking the 'solid dark colors and clean lines' that a previous poster hinted at?
hmm...i never knew.
Feminine doesn't mean only women will (or should, or could) like it. Think of it this way: if a style is described as feline (like a jag roadster) that doesn't mean it's for cats.
If feminine and masculine are unacceptable as subjective descriptive terms then when exactly are they acceptable? Can one say, this girl is feminine while that one is masculine? If yes then we're almost certainly agreeing on some pretty basic style assumptions and if no then do the words have any meaning at all - or do we all have to reclassify them as mere gibberish syllables?

Skyline cruises to win over Eastlake
April 23, 2013
After having two of its singles matches decided in tie-breaking sets, the Skyline High School tennis team beat Eastlake 6-1 April 16.
"Skyline's our rival. Obviously, we want to win, and when we can't win, we want to put up a good match," said the Eastlake Wolves' coach Bud Peterson. "They are a good team. We had our hands full from the get-go."
Thanks to inclement weather, including hail earlier that day, the match almost didn't happen. Giving the court extra time to dry out, the two neighboring teams got started about 30 minutes late. Once they did, though, many of the girls found themselves face-to-face with very familiar opponents.
Sammamish Tennis Club wins national championship
April 16, 2013
The Sammamish Tennis Club played its final match Feb. 28, but went out with a bang, according to a press release from the club. In a tournament held in Chattanooga, Tenn., from March 20-24, the Sammamish Tennis Club mixed doubles team secured a National Tennis Championship title.
Overmatched Liberty falls to Interlake, 7-0
April 9, 2013
When Liberty High School tennis player Jenny Adams is at the top of her game, she can easily defeat an opponent in 30 to 40 minutes, she estimated.
Her April 3 matchup against Interlake's Isabelle Long took nearly two hours, though, and unfortunately for Adams, ended in defeat.
Skyline loses pre-season tennis match
March 19, 2013
With nearly all of its players new, the Skyline High School girls tennis team is starting fresh this year.
Mercer Island, on the other hand, is not. It beat the Skyline Spartans, 6-1, in a March 14 preseason match.
"Definitely, the skill set on Mercer Island is higher than ours," said Bettina Gehle, head coach of the Spartans. "They are more aggressive. They are more demanding on the court."
Liberty High School tennis team falls to Lake Washington
September 25, 2012
The Liberty High School boys tennis team was blanked 7-0 by a solid Lake Washington team in a Sept. 20 3A/2A KingCo Conference match.
The Patriots came into the match with a 1-1 conference record after they defeated Juanita on Sept. 18.
Liberty coach Mike Salokas said Lake Washington was the stronger team that day, but he's optimistic about the future of his young squad.
"We have a solid, kind of young team," he said. "I think the future looks very bright for Liberty High School. We have some learning to do, we have somewhat of a bumpy road ahead but again, I'm optimistic about the future."
Robinswood qualifies for national tennis tournament
August 14, 2012
The Robinswood 18U Advanced Junior Tennis team defeated Mercer Island to win the Pacific Northwest Sectional Championship Aug. 11-12.
Among the Robinswood players was Issaquah High School senior Samantha Garrard who won sixth place in the state doubles tournament in May along with her partner Kelsey Wilson.
The team will represent the northwest in the USTA Junior Team Tennis National Championship in Columbia, S.C., in late October.
Issaquah Eagles tennis duo takes sixth in state doubles
May 29, 2012
It was sunny, hot and windy in the Tri Cities on May 26 when the undefeated, KingCo champion Issaquah girls tennis team took sixth place at the 4A state tournament.
The duo of Sam Garrard and Kelsey Wilson took the doubles court in the semifinals and lost a three-set match to Kamiak High School.
"The girls played really well," head coach Shannon Small said. "They got to the semis and then played a really tough opponent. It was a long, emotional match and we didn't come out the winner. Then, we played for third and sixth and we got sixth."
Small was extremely proud of the two, and noted the conditions were less than ideal.
Skyline tennis player Theresa Huang bests Eastlake rival at KingCo
May 22, 2012
Skyline and Eastlake high schools squared off at the KingCo tennis championships when two of their youngest and best players, Theresa Huang and Katie Park, respectively, faced each other in the girls singles semifinals.
Liberty's Jenny Adams drops district tennis match
May 22, 2012
After qualifying for districts in a grueling match at the KingCo district tournament, Liberty High School sophomore Jenny Adams' tank was on empty. But despite being miles away from the nearest gas station, she got out and pushed.
"She started off really strong," Liberty tennis coach Mike Salokas said. "Strong in strokes, and strong in conditioning."
After being up 3-2 in the first set, Adams quickly started struggling to keep up. She lost the first set, 6-3, and the second, 6-1, to Shea Wojciehowski, of Lakeside High School.
Eagles tennis team goes undefeated, wins KingCo
May 15, 2012
As far as KingCo 4A tennis is concerned, there's a new sheriff in town.
The Issaquah High School girls tennis team went 10-0 this year on their way to the KingCo conference championship. Along the way, they defeated quality opponents in Skyline, Woodinville and even beat Newport, who had not lost to another school in more than 10 years.
"After we beat Newport we caught fire in the conference," head coach Shannon Small said. "It's quite an accomplishment for the girls. The girls are ecstatic."
After toughing out some terrible weather early in the season, Issaquah was able to put in hard work in the limited practice time they had.
"A lot of them gave up other sports to focus on making varsity," Small said. "It's just great for them to be able to walk away from their high school career as KingCo champs."
Up next is the road to the state championships, for which Small said she has two hopefuls — Sam Garrard and Kelsey Wilson. But for now she'll sit back and take in their accomplishment.
"We're able to pause and just celebrate," she said. "The girls can give themselves a pat on the back. We haven't really got a chance to just stop and celebrate."

GM severs ties with Tiger Woods- 14 Jan 2010 00:00:00
General Motors has severed its ties with disgraced US golfer Tiger Woods ending the agreement that allowed the star to have free access to its vehicles.
Woods's endorsement contract with GM's Buick brand ended in 2008, but an arrangement remained in place that allowed him to keep several GM loaner vehicles.
A GM spokesman confirmed that the arrangement ended on 31st December last year.
Woods has lost a host of endorsement contracts since revelations of infidelity in his marriage broke late last year including deals with Gillette, Gatorade and Accenture.
The allegations have led to the world number one taking an indefinite break from professional golf, though the GM spokesman says the vehicle arrangement had been previously scheduled to end on 31st December.

Milo runs into Felix by the hospital elevators. Milo needs to talk and asks to go somewhere private. They go into an exam room and Milo tells him how hung up he is on someone. As Milo explains that his father wouldn't approve, Felix gets nervous and asks him to stop talking in circles. Finally, Milo confesses that he has a huge crush on Epiphany. Felix is crushed and confused. When Milo saw her destroy Mr. Marbles, it was a huge turn on. The nurse assures him he won't have a problem getting her. Milo senses he seems sad. Felix just wants to find his special someone. He sends him off to track down Epiphany. "Any guy is lucky to have you," Milo says. Meanwhile, Liz follows Epiphany around the halls complaining about Britt. Epiphany suspects that Liz wants the prince for herself. She encourages her to hunt him down. Liz says that's not her style. Epiphany complains that the guy she likes will never go for her. Milo shows up. "Do you need a bandage or a vaccine," Epiphany asks. He nervously asks her out. She stutters and offers to make some time for him.
Outside Kelly's, Sonny thinks about Carly. Milo joins him and reveals he hasn't been doing well since he left to be a personal trainer. Lucy never got her spa off the ground, and now he's crashing at Max's and working two jobs. Sonny offers him his job back but spreading the fitness word is Milo's dream and he isn't ready to give it up yet. But he's also bumming because he's in love with someone his father won't approve of. Sonny thinks he understands and tells Milo to never let anyone come between him and what makes him happy. Milo gets a call and has to dash to deliver a pizza to Carly. Sonny has an idea. Inside, Britt crashes Liz and Nik's date, and Liz knocks Britt's milkshake all over her. Liz feigns remorse and Britt leaves to clean up. Nik calls Liz out on spilling the milkshake on purpose and can't handle their bickering. Liz wants to leave so she can tell him what she needs to in private. But Obrecht calls her in to work while Brad calls Britt and tells her she can't come home. Suddenly it's just Britt and Nik. She tells him she needs a place to stay the night and he offers his.
Back at the hospital, Felix is delayed by the elevators and runs into Milo. Meanwhile, Obrecht taunts Liz about her date but Liz thinks what was interrupted with Nik will keep.

I would be alone if not for you
Knife in the Water (1962) by Roman Polański
"This Is My Life" is the movie that made me want to make movies. I first saw it in second grade, so I wouldn't have articulated it as such, but that's what was going on. I must have watched it on VHS eleven or twelve times in one summer, trying hard to grasp something. About its characters? About its construction? On each viewing, a new joke or angle revealed itself to me and its world became richer. I loved Samantha Mathis's surly teen, Gaby Hoffmann's quippy innocent, and especially Julie Kavner's Dot, their single mother, a standup comedian hellbent on self-actualizing despite, or maybe because of, these daughters. But what I really loved was the person orchestrating the whole thing. The costumes, perfectly low-rent polka-dotted blazers and grungy winter hats. The music, a mixture of vaudevillian bounce and Carly Simon's voice that somehow made the city seem more real than if car horns scored the film. The camerawork, a single gliding shot that followed each family member into her bedroom as she settled into a new apartment in a less than desirable Manhattan neighborhood. I loved whoever was making these actresses comfortable enough to express the minutiae of being a human woman onscreen. It wasn't until years later that I understood this was Nora Ephron. I devoured her prose, her other film offerings, and became a fangirl right along with my mother, aunt, grandmother, and every other intelligent woman in the tristate area. Which is why it was so momentous when, in March of 2011, I received a short, perfect e-mail from Ephron, saying she had seen and enjoyed my film and would like to take me to lunch. I was twenty minutes early, and hid in a corner until I saw Nora enter, greet the hostess, and be shown to the best table in the place. I watched her order a Diet Coke and check her iPhone, and then I finally appeared at the table, already regretting my choice of top. But when she looked up, my fears evaporated. I was just so excited to know her.
