  • Project Update

    I just had a really good phone interview with a woman whose name is on my list. Dare I say I am becoming more comfortable with this in time? Maybe. Thus far, I have conducted 7 interviews. And they’re getting easier. Now, I only get sick to my stomach as I’m dialing the phone and…

  • Pavlov Cries Wolf.

    I played a lot of soccer as a kid. I was actually pretty damn good at it, too. Sure, I couldn’t jump rope, dance, cheerlead (although I tried), do backbends, splits, or dress up very well. But I could play a mean game of soccer, softball, and basketball. Even though I usually played right wing…

  • Just a Thought.

    Have you ever wondered if you’re the Courtney Love in your group of friends?

  • Dealing With Assholes

    Today, I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist. I didn’t really think much of it at first. I figured I’d go in, tell him a few things about my eating habits, my heartburn, and the side affects I have had from drugs like Prevacid and Nexium. But then Toby Joe told me that the doctor…

  • Two Thumbs Down

    So, the new (I think?) Sony Earbuds are not my favorite things in the world. As a matter of fact, I might go as far as to use the word “hate” near them in a sentence. Holy crap. They suck. Just thought I’d share.

  • Silly Nessa. Silly, indeed.

    Last night, one of the people I interviewed was introduced to me by a woman named Nessa. She gave me some really great leads and I will probably spend hours/days/weeks thanking her for it. Anyway, as we were wrapping up the interview, Nessa’s contact said, “My goodness, you sound so much like Nessa.” And I…

  • Hang Onto Your Ego. Hang On But I Know that You’re Gonna Lose the Fight

    Last night, I began interviewing people over the phone for a project I am currently working on. I have conducted a few interviews (via email) and those worked out just fine. I plan on redoing them over the phone in order to record them as well. There are a few things I noticed about myself…

  • FYI: Phone Interviews

    I am beginning phone interviews today. So, if you received an email from me sometime last week, expect a phone call from me as early as this evening. I will continue through the next couple of weeks, weekends included.

  • Is This Really Necessary?

    This morning there was a dildo riding a SEGWAY on the elevator. I’m sorry, did I just say “dildo”? I meant perfectly able rich man. He’s now second in line in receiving the award for the biggest ass. The contender is still somewhere in San Francisco. This gent rode his SEGWAY around the grocery store…

  • Brooklyn Loves NOLA and I Won!

    On Friday, Toby Joe and I went to Enid’s for the one and only Brooklyn Loves NOLA benefit. Originally, we were just gonna pay our entrance/donation fee, have a drink, and then leave as we’re not much into big crowds and the place was packed. Instead, we had the most excellent evening, sharing drinks, and…
