What do you do with a BA in English?
January 23, 2008

Get your daily work out by getting off at the wrong subway stop, thus having to walk a mile cross-town to work. Get there and do mass hole-punchings, toning your arms.
See a bunch of girls walking around with Herbal Essences bottles and special gift bags. Wonder: exactly what does this office do?
Be told several [...]

Being working temp jobs.  The first one brings you to a classy communications and branding company.  Wake up at 5:30 in the morning; contemplate whether or not you actually slept.

Observe New York fashion sense.   Pledge [...]

SO OBSESSED WITH THE REWRITE REENACTMENTS for Lez Girls.  That is so funny and wonderful.  Not so obsessed with the fact that the theme song hasn’t changed yet.  Thank technology for TiVO and fast forwarding options.
So we start at the gym and well, look at that.  Shane working out.  Without a sports bra.  Without a [...]

I’d like the 11 dollars and 2 hours of my life back, please. It was ridiculously cheesy, AND Katie Holmes drank too much to realistically have diabetes. They need a damn fact checker.

It’s being reported that Britney has Multiple-Personality Disorder. Remember a few weeks ago when she was talking in that British accent? According to TMZ:
We’re told the whole British accent thing — well, it’s more than an accent. Britney has multiple personalities, including, as people in her life call it, “the British girl.” We’re [...]

27 Dresses
January 19, 2008

I wonder if Steve Jobs [...]
