I was doing a search of the internet to figure out what a hipster is. Looking at a lot of pictures did not help me identify a clothing style except ugly thick rimmed glasses. Other than that there were great inconsistencies in what I was reading. The consistant factors seem to be: You like indie music and films, you have a bike with only one ( Read more... )

Wow. I have a small bookkeeping job that I got in December. So far all I have done is work a couple days with the previous bookkeeper to figure out what I'm doing. My boss got me a present. There was a pen, a box, and a Staples gift card. That was kind of cool, especially since I hardly did any work. Then I went to check the value of the ( Read more... )

I'm at a bar in Chicago. Just finished a very nice 3.5 hour dinner wherein I have gotten to spend time with and get to know my sister in law for the first time. It was really good. Now I'm at a bar. I hate bars. It's loud. There is no where to sit. It's loud. The last train back to near the hotel left an hour ago. Usually the bar goig or club going ( Read more... )

This is a pretend battle and the stakes are nothing at all. Oh, and their ( Read more... )

These are culled from a much longer list. Aren't you glad I saved you from the worst ones ( Read more... )

I have just determined that Either Oxnard or Ventura or both Appleones suck. Several years ago I was looking for a job, I signed up with either OXnard or Ventura, don't remember which, and they gave me nothing, so I signed up with TO and got a job that day. More recently I called Ventura Appleone and they said they don't have any jobs and didn't ( Read more... )

I'm tired of writing for $0.02 per word. It's not enough, and since I'm ghost writing it's not going to get me anywhere because I don't have anything to show for my work. So I decided to try writing something to submit to magazines. My first thought was, of course, to write short fiction. But it's probably easier to get non-fiction accepted. ( Read more... )
