Purses

Purses are a tough call, because it seems like a good thing to have a bag with all of the things you need with you at all times. But think about it-all the coolest girls you've ever known did not carry purses. I dont know if tote bags count. I am gonna go with bullshit on this one.

Friends

Friends are totally not bullshit. As long as you are nice, you can have friends. Even if you are strange and combative, or weird and perverted, as long as you are nice you can have friends. You can have friends who you talk to about only certain things that are close to your heart. You can have friends that live far away and as soon as you are with them it is on, and its not like it is yesterday, but rather it is tomorrow and you are still chillin. But you can still have friends who you hang out with and it is like it is yesterday, and it doesnt matter. You can have general friends and specific friends. You can have imaginary friends. You can have friends you can create with and friends that you destroy with. You can have friends that are other creatures. I want to go on and describe creatively about all kinds of friends, but I'll just say: Not bullshit!

Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry is bullshit. His buildings (with the exception of one) do not have any connection between their form and function, which I see as the highest calling in architecture. One should be invited in, made curious to know what is inside, given a clue as to what activity occurir a dentro. The most beautiful buildings in NY provoke thoughts of big business and commerce, and their height a statement of the importance of the city that they reside. The one exception? Gehry's theatre on the Bard campus. As you approach you get glimpses of the shiny hedgehog-like structure, and it reveals itself to you slowly, until you are upon it, where it strikes you with its size and shape. The silver-grey paneling converses with the color of the sky, whether it is brght blue or slate grey. And it looks like a theatre! In contrast, the Disney Theatre in downtown LA explodes onto the the street, incongrous to everything around it, its silver sheathing shiny and discombobulated. Why should buildings be curvy? Its fun and new, but it is bullshit. Lastly, he is designing the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, which no matter what the architecture is destroying the unique, small scale, villagy feel of the borough I love. And Gehry's disastrous designs only heighten the effect. Bullshit!

Cell Phones on the Dinner Table

Total bullshit. I've never understood the point of this, your pockets arent big enough, or you cant feel the cell phones vibrations? To me, it says to me that my dining companion is always ready or hoping that someone will call so they can get away from our dinner conversation. Its horribly rude to take a call at dinner in the first place (this is old news, everyone should know that) but still this gets the assignation "Double Bullshit".
