488 Rules for Life

My God, how do I do Goodreads again? I don't understand why I read less when I'm a stay home wife/soon-to-be-mom than I was a PhD student.
But I'm currently in semi-lockdown so I should probably go back to my true introvert root...
I actually really like Kitty whenever she appears on The Project and Have You Been Paying Attention. She has this savage and deadpan sense of humour and she always manages to do this with a straight face. When I decided to pick up this book, I thought it'll be like, 'yeah, I should start doing that'. But it turned out to be 'damn gurl, people should totally start doing it'. 488 rules? I believe in most of these plus probably a hundred more rules. Which now makes me acutely aware of why I don't tolerate a lot of people. Hmm.
The highlights include
- rule 108: that made me snort-laughed and maybe cried a bit too especially because it hit too close to home now with the coronavirus pandemic.
- rule 121: never thought that, THAT is the function of penne. Since I always went with fettucini. But then again, I never went for a pasta on a date.
- rule 155: I'm not vegetarian but I eat halal so normally the only option is to eat vegetarian and I seriously wanted to murder anyone who ate the vegetarian pizza after a student's talk at grad school.
- rule 392: preach, girl.
Have to disagree with
- rule 128: because I love avocado juice/jus alpukat.
- rule 135: not exactly disagree because I never tried juicing a guava. But the guava juice that comes in tetra box? Love it! Although now that I think about it, might have contain artificial guava...
- rule 243: not with the rule but with the insult on mocha. Come on, it's the best of both worlds.
