SO, tell me, man, about this ingenious chick who’s traveling from Clifton to the door of your garden apartment in the New Jersey night. Tell me she’s bringing pretzels — hopefully dutch bavarian, because they remind me of the movie Say Anything. Have you ever seen Say Anything? It’s a classic. It defined love in the 1980s — and also led to the adorable cliche of holding a boom box over one’s head, broken-heartedly — and John Cusack is in it, so you know it’s good.
