Cab Advice: Don’t Trust the Honkers
Friday, August 27th Written by Kiley E - Ragamuffin ResearcherThe single thing I hate the most about New York is cab drivers who honk and slow down to pull over when they see me walking alone at night, like it wasn’t my choice to walk.

Smell the Glove at St. Jerome’s
Wednesday, August 25th Written by Kiley E - Ragamuffin ResearcherIf you’re anything like me, you bought an iPod or MP3 player because you were sick of carrying CDs everywhere.

Wednesday, August 18th Written by Kiley E - Ragamuffin ResearcherI keep a book called How to Write Erotica on my shelf next to my other reference books about grammar and proper citation rules, because the glossary is a never-ending source of knowledge. Like, did you know that three or more people constitute an orgy? Or that a House of assignation is a predecessor to ... Read More →

24 Hour Coin Operated Bike Shop
Friday, August 13th Written by Kiley E - Ragamuffin ResearcherAs human existence goes on, I’m continually fascinated by the objects people put into vending machines. Candy bars, hot sandwiches, coffee, ice cream bars delivered by vacuum tubes, used women’s underwear, iPods, etc. But Traif Bike Gesheft’s shop installed a vending machine that sells bike parts, and I’m willing to call it the most useful ...
