COVERSPY: BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS JUDGING YOU

 

CoverSpy, the blog that tracks what all of your asses are reading on the subway, is one of my favorite new blogs. I love it mostly because it's fun being judgmental about what you’re reading, but also, because one of the main spies appears to live in the Slope (or surrounding area), since 75 percent of what (s)he posts occurs off the F train out of BK.

Yesterday morning, while perusing CoverSpy and judging you for your Jodi Picoult and cultural history of menstruation (yes, this is real) selections, I almost choked on my chamomile tea.  Oh Park Slope, congratulations.  You’ve officially out-caricatured yourself:

Well done, my loves.  Now, which one of you is this…besides all of you?

Park Slope Netflix Queues Look Like This

1. Rachel Getting Married
2. Milk
3. Doubt
4. The Wrestler
5. Burn After Reading
6. Vicky Cristina Barcelona
7. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
8. Slumdog Millionaire
9. Revolutionary Road
10. Mad Men: Season 1: Disc 1

Way to be completely fucking predictable, Park Slope!--not a single mainstream movie in the bunch! (I mean, maybe you could argue Benjamin Button, though I still say its borderline). Surprised not to see Food, Inc there, though (right Food Coop-n-JSF?).

Coop Spy: Going For Broke

Okay, I admit it.

In the interest of broadening her knowledge, introducing her to the joys of organic escarole and cheese, getting her to stop calling me and my peeps (peebs?) retarded, I invited Erica to be my guest this morning at the Park Slope Food Coop.
