game change: book review
i don’t care if everything in this book is a lie, i would read 500 more pages. it is SO GOOD, you guys.
my only complaints were i felt it took too long to get to the republican side of the campaign. pages and pages devoted to hillary’s inept campaign people and bill’s insanity, and i thought the coverage of mccain was just kind of one-note and repetitive. but then again, i am...

I keep watching the Onion News Network’s video making fun of Lost fans, and I keep thinking about why I have such a visceral reaction to any mention of the show. The thing is, I used to be a fan, and I used to obsessively go over minor plot details and wonder what would happen next, just like all of you fools.
But, I got tired of that stupid show fucking with my head. It’s like this:...

asking me if i “liked” anything.
it makes me wonder if this reader had actually been reading my blog. doesn’t she know you only talk about tv on the Internet if you are making fun of it? does she actually want me to discuss the housewives as real human beings? that is not my job.
also, a botox and tanning party for your employees is never acceptable. not even in coto de caza.

Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness
Not afraid to be service-y!
tremblebot:
I’ve seen people perk up their ears over Obama talking about student loan forgiveness. The only really wonderful student loan forgiveness program at work right now is called the “Public Service” forgiveness plan. It is one of the SINGLE GREATEST PIECES OF LEGISLATION GW BUSH EVER SIGNED INTO LAW. I don’t get to type that very often. Because it is a...

And I can tell you, no matter how much I adore Michelle and her accomplishments, the greatest joy I get is watching minisparks idolize the First Lady. I well up inside when I see minsparks draw pictures of ‘Lady Obama’ and put them on her bulletin board.

It’s appalling, how Republicans march in lockstep, but it’s also their strength. Liberals, however, are very happy to turn the guns on our own the moment our “own” aren’t slavishly adhering to a uniformly, clearly liberal agenda.
THIS.
They are strong because they have each other’s backs. They’re like a gang.

ugh and people with crazy mortgages can let their shit go into foreclosure and walk away and declare bankruptcy but our student loans are fucking forever. same with personal credit card debts.

on writing surveys
So, tonight was my last night at my job. I feel kind of sad about it because I’d developed a routine of going there and I’m going to miss not knowing what show I would have to end up watching that night. My last shows were Silent Library and Teen Mom.
Writing these surveys was at times incredibly difficult. They follow a very particular style that did not come naturally to me at all...
so, college is now paid for.
That feels weird to say. When they sent me the bill, it was pretty hilarious. As if, I could magically conjure up $25K. I like when they give you the option of paying with a credit card. I’m charging this, baby! Swipe it!
But anyway, now what I will have anxiety about? My brain is thoroughly confused.

you may want to actually tell me my financial aid award for you know, next week, before sending me a letter reminding me to apply for next year.

Twitter is mentioned on a lot of TV shows. It’s considered a product, if you were in the business of tracking product placement on television shows, which is one of the things I do at my current job.

What was the worst movie you’ve ever seen?
this is one of the questions i asked myself becaus i couldn’t sleep and then i abandoned it. i think the worst movie i’ve ever seen was the lake house, starring sandra bullock and keanu reeves. it is not the worst in that “haha, this is hilarious, let’s start a cult around it” but the worst in the “omg someone...
