A life lesson I learned from Breaking Bad
I'm currently watching Breaking Bad from the beginning and one of the most interesting lessons I have learned is surprisingly unrelated to Walter's chemical prowess.
In S02 E07 I learned that, if you have an unattached neighbour with runway-model looks (e.g. Krysten Ritter's Jane Margolis), all you have to do is sit in silence with her in front of a plasma TV with a blue screen for a couple of minutes and she's yours. This will work even if your apartment is messy and unfurnished.
Since my street is teeming with single supermodels , I'll give this technique a try and get back to you!
