I though that I had finally found a full-time paid job working for a cool media company in downtown Manhattan. A reputable staffing agency hooked me up with it, and I was so psyched to get down to business for my first day of work. The hours were a bit unconventional: 7am to 3pm, but [...]

The new dark romantic comedy from director Ed Zwick is a definite must. Love & Other Drugs takes place in the late 1990s, when the pharmaceutical industry was raging and Viagra made its debut appearance in the bedrooms of impotent and frustrated men. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a pharmaceutical salesman who loves to get in a [...]

Given that I am 24, single, and living in a city where attractive and charming men abound, my romantic life has the potential to be quite exciting. Well, romantic prospects have been few and far between as of late, but in the past few days I’ll admit I’ve had a handful of noteworthy “sexual” encounters.
Last [...]

I recently stalked a distinguished and classic American gentleman whom I once met at a Yale College Master’s Tea. Kevin Buckley was the editor-in-chief of Playboy and the head of the Saigon Bureau for Newsweek during the Vietnam War. Since I’ve been so hard-up for a job lately, I have been reaching out to even [...]

Last night I went to a Google event called High Tech Meets High Fashion. It was celebrating some new shopping website with which Google has decided to corrupt the universe. There were a lot of celebs and famous fashion designers on the guest list, and I was put to the miserable task of hunting some [...]

My sister recently turned 26, so we hosted a party at our new apartment and things got generally messy. Luckily, she was consoled by her good friends vodka, rum, champagne, and whatever else was lying around.
As with most fabulous parties, things ended in a debaucherous dance sequence in our living room around 5am. Though it [...]

In my tireless attempt to find a paying job — any job — I stopped by Scully & Scully, the exceedingly over-priced and offensively WASPy antique/nick-nack store on Park Avenue. They posted a Craigslist ad saying they were looking for extra holiday help.
I was interviewed by Mr. Scully himself. He perused my resume like he [...]

The Social Network was a poorly plotted, anti-climactic movie that had the potential to be quite good. I’m really glad I didn’t pay $12.50 for it in the theatre and illegally downloaded it online like all self-respecting unemployed people.
But seriously, the only good thing about The Social Network was the fact that it accurately portrayed [...]

So, you guessed it — I am still unemployed. Therefore, the episodes of my mockumentary web series will continue to be produced. In case you don’t already know about my pathetic little venture, Give Me A Job is about a recent Yale graduate, Haley, who is a bit too out of touch with reality and lacking [...]

The Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, made quite the bold/gauche statement this week: “It’s better to be passionate about beautiful girls than gay.” He was defending himself for having had an affair with a 17-year-old erotic dancer. Silvio is 74 years old, and I guess he likes them perky.
The dancer (“Ruby”) claimed that things [...]
