Callalillie, one of my favorite bloggers, was quoted out of context in a Village Voice column (see above). Here is her post in response, as well as some comments she made to commenters on her comments page:

According to the Village Voice,
I have finally reached the status of ambivalent, embarrassed
post-yuppie. I always thought that I veered more closely toward
neurotic, not embarrassed, and I’m not quite sure what a post-yuppie is
(though I don’t doubt that I probably am one), but with that over with,
I can now die in peace.

Context is always key, especially when dealing with metaphor.

More comments from Callalillie:

I am still trying to find some of the context. I can’t remember when I
said that I would gladly trek to Manhattan for my groceries in order to
save a warehouse. The warehouse where Fairway is wasn’t in danger of
being knocked down. I’ll have to go through my archives. I would
definitely gladly trek to Manhattan to buy crappy furniture in order to
save the shipyard, though.

More comments from Callalillie:

As a blogger, I consciously put myself and my words out there and
part of that is the risk of being taken out of context. If she had
interviewed me, it would be a different story.
