So yes blackberries are great and convenient and it did take me a while to adjust to life without one until….I realized that you can take your laptop anywhere! On the bus, in the grocery store, at the park, on dates! Now I’ll take my laptop just about anywhere and treat it just like a [...]

Lunch Deals
It’s impressive when you walk around mid-town Manhattan on weekdays how many awesome lunch deals you find. Like sit down for a three-course meal for under 10 bucks. Ironic, seeing as how most people worried about lunch money probably can’t stroll out for a two-hour meal. They’re apparently meant for very frugal big dawgs. But now, [...]

My Next Job
While exploring possibilities for my next career I think I’ve landed on a great one — dating expert/consultant/matchmaker. I realized this on Friday night when (like many Friday nights) my phone was flooded with picture texts of every outfit my friends own asking me which one to wear on their date (which is strange considering [...]

Blowin’ Up
A fan of the blog and fellow blogger, the very cool Morgan Haines interviewed Aldous and I about our lives as unemployed assholes and posted it on her blog (which is way nicer and more professional looking than ours). Thanks Morgan, our egos have officially exploded, next stop Larry King. Check it out: http://mhgdblog.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/unemployed-and-awesome/

Retards in Meetings
One of the very (very) few things I miss about work is sitting in meetings when someone says something truly retarded. That kind of statement where everyone is quiet for a few seconds (I’m giggling like a school girl into my notebook) until someone senior to the retard steps in. That senior person will either ignore the [...]

Do You Do Powerpoint?
While visiting my parents for the weekend I ran into a lot of neighbors and family friends who I haven’t seen in a while. One minute into conversation they all asked how work was or if I had to go back to work on Monday.Welllll…apparently my parents haven’t notified the locals that the only job [...]

Shirley Temples
So I’m out to dinner with my parents this weekend and we’re sitting next to a table with 3 kids,all drinking Shirley Temples. This prompts my parents to start talking about how when I was a kid I was “obsessed” with Shirley Temples. I figured that now, at almost 30 years old, was the time [...]

Real Housewives of New Jersey
God damnit. I have spent a good portion of the last 10 years of my life as an unofficial spokesperson for the state of New Jersey and now one show is not only going to undo all my hard work but set us back another 20 years — thank you “The real, dirty, whore [...]

I’m Just Not a Clapper
And I’m literally talking about clapping. On more than a few occasions recently I have been asked to clap and get excited on command. One example being the Amazing Race auditions. While we were waiting on line the guy running the show kept yelling “Is everyone excited??? Let me hear you!”. Not only was I [...]

Free Shit
I‘ve heard stories about people writing companies to compliment their products and in return getting free shit. Like if you write Kellogg’s and ramble about how awesome Pop-Tarts are they’ll send you a bunch of boxes as a ‘thank you’. I mentioned this to someone recently and they said Oprah had a whole show on [...]
