Don't Call It A Comeback
Have you ever worked so hard for something only to realize, once you got it, that you didn't want it?
Last night was opening night at The Shanty. When I woke up this morning, my back hurt, my glasses were covered in... something, and despite 8 hours of sleep, I was still tired. Not to mention the horrible realization that if this line of work ( Read more... ) -

Will Cook For Food
Never before have I wanted to get drunk so badly.
For those that I haven't officially told or haven't heard from another source, I was laid off from the cafe. The numbers tanked a little harder than expected, and a) we cooks make way more than the floor staff, and b) I was the last one in, so I'm the first one out.
Now comes the hard part; job ( Read more... ) -
Not Sure If This Is a Good Thing Or Not
This post brought to you by the letter i, and the wonderful(ish) people at Apple. Thanks, Steve.
Kidding. I claim no allegiance to any company. The only reason I got an iPhone is because it was going to be cheaper than any of the other touchscreen phones AT&T had.

Life Can't Be Summed Up In One-Line Status Updates
I think Facebook is upset with me. I posted that it was beginning to annoy me, and then I supply my pithy wit here, instead of trying to cram it all into a sentence over there. So now, they won't let me in. Guess I just have to use my words ( Read more... ) -
A Bit of Social Satire
My generation has been called Generation Y (mainly because we came after Generation X; not the most creative title, but we didn't pick it). We've also been called Generation Me, due to our propensity for selfish behavior and collective sense of entitlement ( Read more... ) -
Foresight, Hindsight, and Abominable Half-Human Monsters
So I've been reading my Promethean: The Created books lately. I'm not sure why, either. Well, that's a lie, I know exactly why. I love that game. If you ask me, there is no more nuanced, subtle, or deeply philosophical and psychological game on the market. This game is head and shoulders better than any other nWoD game out there. It's a role- ( Read more... ) -
Tarsem Singh, Michael Bay, Michel Gondry: One of These Things Is Not Like The Other
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at something on the internet. I now want to see the new Transformers movie.

Reasons I Need to Leave Trader Joe's
I'm tired of apologizing for things that aren't my fault. Discontinued products, the death of the Swampscott store, my taste differing from the customers', and so on. These are beyond my control, and as such, I should not be required to take responsibility. "Never apologize." --Julia Child ( Read more... )
