'Write what you know.' That was the mantra rehashed by my journalism professors year after year. That, and 'omit needless words.' Since using the latter as a theme for this post would produce a snooze-fest, let's go with the first. Plus it's back-to-school season--what better way to pay homage to those old profs than listing a few things I now know since leaving my Alma mater. Here goes:
Good listeners are almost always well-liked.
A misshappen vegetable is a sign of a quality product.
A good heel can make a $20 pair of slim Levis look like a million bucks... or actually more like $30.
When in doubt, choose black or white.
Practice makes (almost) perfect.
If my cupboards were filled only with ramekins, I would be just fine.
The most essential kitchen item is a sharp knife.
"Fake it 'till you feel it," actually works.
I like 'having tea', but I don't really like tea itself.
No matter how silent they are, Coldplay will always be quietly churning out a fabulous album.
Never underestimate the power of a (or five) white Hanes cotton t-shirt as a closet staple.
The New Yorker on the iPad has to be one of the best releases in 2011 yet.
What about you? What do you know?
