New Tumblr alert! →
You might have noticed I was missing from your dash! Then again maybe not. I’ve been over at whineandbeer for a while now.
This has been your periodic (sporadic) reminder.

This is me, I am here. →
It’s not a secret, I just have too many followers here and I don’t want that many! So I’ve decided to decamp to another blog. If you want to follow me there you’re more than welcome. I’ve already followed a bunch of you (and was even going to send messages from this address to let you know I’ve moved) but it was too much work and I’m lazy so this is...
Tumblr Help: Convos
doctorsprotege:
Hypothetical situation: Say you had a best friend from college (so for like 5ish years) who you were very close to. Say you had not talked to your best friend for about a month because there was lot going on in your life, and you had been ignoring their calls/invitations/etc.
Say you then meet up with that friend again under a very trying circumstance where the friend could...

Tuesday Blues Day
Tuesday is the worst! It hasn’t even really started yet!
Last night around 10pm they (meaning I guess the Department of Transportation) started grating my street, which is an almost entirely residential street. These shenanigans continued until roughly 4am. The actual grating noise wasn’t so bad with my combo of air conditioner and earplugs, but the constant backup beeping noise from...

I think it’s an objectively good day? Snagged two job interviews, for example. Admin positions all, but whatever. One is two blocks from my apartment, so there’s that.

RECIPE REQUEST!
youarenotyou:
ok, tumblr, so here’s the situation: i have no money to buy groceries for the next 2 weeks. i just ran out of bread and i have no fresh produce except for garlic and ginger. i have enough money to buy onions, but that’s it. problem: i suck at cooking unless it’s from a recipe, and i am going to go through my cookbooks later, but most of them rely on fresh produce. so if any of...
Fell off the "no Smiths" wagon.
Possibly because I have a playlist on Spotify and am too lazy to make other playlists. Still! I had a really good weekend and didn’t listen to any “oh God I think I might be a defective human being” music, and maybe there’s a connection? Who knows. The universe is infinite and mystical.
As you might suspect, this is all just a lead-in for the following question: What...
novazembla asked: None of my genderswap answers seem quiiiiite right (possibly because they're genderswapped?) so I'm answering with who came to mind and not worrying about whether it's perfect.
All of which is to say, David Tennant.

I’m a little bummed out that no one has genderswapped me yet. Just passive-aggressively putting that out there.

I'm pretty sure this year's kid-written production...
Every year a local theater company runs a summer camp in conjunction with my museum. The kids learn about history, then write and perform a short play. It’s usually some completely non-historical romp involving pirates and buried treasure that only briefly touches on the American Revolution, and it’s always hysterical. But this year the snatches of rehearsal I’m hearing seem to...

mykicks:
Things like avoiding a catastrophic default and the prevention of another bullshit debate about this in another few months shouldn’t be “gets” for Democrats.
This is more or less how I feel about the debt ceiling “compromise.” I hate that both Democrats and the media are being so determinedly positive about this, like it’s an astonishing victory. Meanwhile the...

I feel like such a ninny.
You cannot rush the artistic process etc etc. When really it’s just that my short story writing skillz are so rusty, and that’s why I’m not going to meet the Longshot Magazine deadline at 3pm.
Anyway, this ninny is going to go read until she has to go out, because frankly rushing at this point is dumb. I should have opted for some snarky McSweeney’s style piece from the...

Really cool job one of you should apply for! →
ATTN: New Yorkers who have BAs in Communications, Marketing, or Public Relations (aka not me or I’d hoard this one for myself). Planned Parenthood of NYC is hiring a Social Media Coordinator. It doesn’t pay that much (nonprofits bla bla bla) but it’s a social media coordinator job for Planned Parenthood. You know you all want it.

The moment has arrived. Here’s how this works: Starting right now, you have 24 hours to produce and submit your work. We’ll take the next 24 to select, edit, design and lay everything out. The end result will be a beautiful glossy paper magazine. And a super sharp digital edition.

Unfortunately all of it interferes with my concentration and EVEN VERY LOUD MUSIC CANNOT DROWN THESE LITTLE MONSTERS OUT.
