Flannel Animal: Forward Motion →
My buddy Kyle recently tumbled a wise and working-life-related post describing a phenomenon that I wasn’t even close to articulating until now.
But basically: When you have a day job, it can actually inspire you to get off your ass and, um, follow your dreams. Even if said job means you have less time than ever to accomplish dream-related tasks.
I’m actually going to shut up now,...

First I burn my fingers cutting haberneros for spicy black bean burgers, and then I get blisters from the kayak paddles? I thought Maine was supposed to be relaxing!

the self-aware white whines are by far my favorites.

I spent all of yesterday evening and most of today making this layout, however I did leave the house briefly this afternoon to consume a frozen margarita and make loose plans for Sunday brunch & marijuana.

Hey friends,
I’ve been letting my tumblr usage lapse for a while now, mostly because I’ve been focusing on my other blog, Ebony + Irony.
But, of course, sometimes I want to post and/or rant about things that do not fall under the umbrella of pop culture & such—not to mention keep up with various tumblr users, reblog, like, laugh at topherchris, etc.—which is why I’m going...

oops.
Oops, I haven’t posted here in a while. Here’s what you missed:
—I just moved into a super-tiny bedroom in Borough Park, Brooklyn. I can’t open the door all the way because it runs into my bed.
—Moving was a hassle and cost about $10 less than my rent.
—I quit my second job. Did I mention I was going to do that?
—My mom is going to get me a Palm Pixi. I’m excited.

guhh.
Evidence I’m depressed:
—Lots of crying lately. Over nothing.
—I got my first raise in the history of being a person today (from $10 to $12/hour) and am still in a bad mood, even though I know that this is very, very good.
—I’m two episodes behind on Lost and I don’t care.
—I’m drinking $6 red wine by Flip Flop Nation alone.
Whatever, deep down I know my life is...

power.
So my charger is broken, and to save $50 or so I ordered a replacement on eBay. Fuckin’ Apples. I hope to see it delivered by March.
In the meantime, I’ve been using my work computer’s work charger during the relevant hours, and borrowing my boyfriend’s roommate’s adapter intermittently.
As a result, I wind up with enough power every night to write my requisite...

One teenager who wrote a three-volume novel on her phone has gone on to sell more than 110,000 paperback copies, grossing more than $611,000 in sales.
Not okay.

Well that's a pretty shitty prize..
Just, mixing a gatorade: Geez this stuff is actually pretty good!
Jo: Yeh you can mix it just a bit stronger than the store stuff and it tastes even better.
Just, finds something buried: Whoa.. there's... there's something in here man.. Fuck dude! There's a prize in here!!! HEY LOOK WHAT I DUG OUT!!!
Jo: What is that?
Just: It's some sort of scoop!! Holy shit man! We won a scoop!!!
Jo: Uh.. I think that's just a scoop. Like, to mix the Gatorade with.
Just: Eh..? I see your game, don't think you're touching my new scoop.

JobNob Event Connects Job-Seekers with Startups →
Coming to NYC this week. But I probably don’t need a third job—I just hear the word “startup” and get all excited.

The one where I built an awesome fort outside with my dad.
(He’s a workaholic, so our time together increased dramatically whenever the weather precluded him from leaving the house. Snowstorms meant Monopoly, Clue, Risk, Scrabble, forts, sledding, and the hockey game I had for Super Nintendo.)

It’s tempting to let some hapless beauty student the likes of Frenchy from Grease have at it with my mop for zero to 15 dollars, but I’m a pussy. Also I really love my hair right now.

hey, gluttony.
Last night, after
—ripping my stitches watching more Archer on Hulu
—meeting an awesome new tumblr lady
—remembering how utterly depressing it would be to work at Applebees (we witnessed two intense birthday staff songs in our vicinity)
—lifting my ban on straw-drinking (wisdom teeth stuff) for a frozen margarita the size of my head
—and watching two half-grown men, and myself, surrender our...

I hate to be this kind of person.
Because I’ve never come close to needing a glasses prescription. Like once a doctor told me I might eventually need driving glasses at NIGHT (fuck, I ran out of things to do to text).
But god, I bought these plastic emo glasses on the street for my Daria Halloween costume, and they look SO GOOD. Especially with my shorter hair. I kind of want to find an eye doctor and beg for a...

someone put ecstasy in my antidepressants.
Today was pretty legit. It’s still three blog posts from over. Plus putting stuff away in my room, maybe. Plus writing, if I’m awesome.
But anyway:
—I GOT TO WORK BEFORE 9. Holy everything. I was actually startled to see how different the sun looks when I leave my apartment at 7:30 a.m.
—One of my coworkers also has a shitty commute. 75 minutes. Unless he bikes, which is worse....
