And The Card Attached Would Say: "Thank You For Being A Friend..."
I would like to truly thank everyone who commented kindly, or commented in any way, on my past few posts. I swear to God that when I pump out all the whoah-is-me negativity that I am not pandering for niceties, but they are warmly welcomed regardless, as are advice and reality checks. And in all actuality I am not the doom-clouded self-loather ( Read more... ) -
PLEASE READ
PayPal users, at your earliest convenience, I beg you to donate 5 or more dollars to the Poppy Fund. By doing so, you will be doing something to help a struggling New Orleans writer rebuild her life in a way that she will never be able to do on her own.
This might seem very nervy and presumptuous for me to ask. I for one am a very selfish and not ( Read more... ) -
Gums
I just had a panicky realization that my gums are in horrible, horrible shape. Smoking and poor flossing are not helping my cause, but ultimately this is a family trait that I must lay claim to. These gums are icky and puffy and white, and there is a faint taste of copper in my mouth.
And there's not a damn thing I can do about it. I am maxed ( Read more... ) -
Addendum: Worms & Weather
Wow, some little viral worm leaked its way into that last post and added a link to some bullshit phone provider to the words "long distants" (I opted to incorrectly spell this in fear that it might happen again). I went back and erased the bogus link, but now I feel about as violated as Haley Joel Osment at a NAMBLA convention.

Closing Time
The journey to Great Neck and back with my folks was not as dramatic as I dreaded it would be. The trip to Jamaica, Queens, where I was to get my gas account set up has been postponed until we figure out what the hell we're supposed to do exactly.
At the tiny, cramped law office with no central air (and terrible parking), I sat on one side of a ( Read more... ) -
I'm The Party Star, I'm Popular...
Apropos of nothing, has anyone ever browsed the, um, top 437 interests as identified by LJ'ers?
Some interesting observations:
Music is #1, which I guess is understandable, but it beats out Movies (#2) by a wopping 419,245 links.
There is a mere 18,165 advantage of users that include an interest of reading (#3) over writing (#4). And oddly, " ( Read more... ) -
Lost Checks & Snakeheads
I am so psyched to learn that Queens now has its very own snakehead infestation . The snakehead craze of a year or two ago is one of my all-time favorite sensationalist news stories, beating out sharkaphobia, the imminent doom of South American killer bee swarms and the dreaded monkeypox by far.

TV Will Be The Death Of Me
Despite my callous flip-off of the Ghettoplex yesterday, I must confess that I've been a bit of a wreck these past few days. I'm terrified about my future as a poor Mortgage Monkey, loathsome at the prospect of once again being financially beholden to my folks to a degree, dreading the notion that I'll be stuck under their roof for the next few ( Read more... )
