Ambulating

Usually, running makes me angry. Therefore, I generally choose not to do it. EXCEPT NOW. I’m training for the Boston Marathon! It makes me happy when I think about my goal. It makes me angry when I think about the actual training. I am all about instant gratification.

Edema is really gross. To me, at least. I don’t want it.

NY Times Magazine 9th Annual Year in Ideas

Cows With Names Make More Milk For dairy farmers, whether to name their cows may seem like a matter of taste. But it might not be. It could be a business decision. A study of several hundred British dairies published in the journal Anthrozoös in March compared responses to a survey about cow treatment with independently collected milk data and found that cows that have names make, in a given...

As Blogs are Censored, It's Kittens to the Rescue →

If only Iran’s leaders had thought through the implications of what can be called the Cute Cat Theory of Internet Censorship, as propounded by Ethan Zuckerman, a senior researcher at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. His idea is deceptively simple: most people use the Internet to enjoy their lives, and among the ways people spread joy is to share pictures of cute...

Take Back the Geek

This is a call to action for the world. No longer say, “I’m such a geek, I love [insert cultural emphemera here]!” You are wrong. You are not a geek. Geeks like things that are not cool to like. A geek’s enthusiasm is unflagging, uncomfortable, and unnecessary. It is a passion both invasive and awkward, one that sits for long periods of time, smells funny, and fears all...

Good Evening

Hello there. I’m rather pooped after spending the weekend in New York. But all is well after staying with Jessie and eating vanilla granola with strawberries and yoghurt. What IS cool is that I am posting from aboard a BUS. Yes. The Internet is quite slow, but good enough for emails and things like this. Yeah boltbus.com

Sewing Machines

Watching those Project Runway kids work their magic on those sewing machines - incredible. Imagine how excellent/useful/efficient it would be to be like, “I wish I had a gown that looked like this, this and this.” And then realised you had mad talent and whipped it up in 10 hours.

Real People Don't Exist in HR Departments

I have been trying to get in contact with this one particular woman who had emailed me about possible job vacancies at a department within a big, huge, conglomerate. Except after I inquired if she could provide me with more information she never wrote back. I also found her voicemail through their operator but she never picks up or calls me back. I feel like I have been stood up! I will have...

The Try Not to Be Angry Diet

I did not get angry today, not once. There could have been plenty to be angry about-I had to wake up at 5am to go to work and arrived late because the R train stalled in the 36th St station for fifteen minutes. I entered work in a daze, having only slept a handful of hours the night before, and waited on customers with a somber sluggishness. To top it all off, I was cut early from work due to...

Give it to me green!

I am all for sustainable living. Completely and utterly. If I had all the money in the world, I would be one of those people that lived in those wooden cube houses with solar panels, and my own wind energy field. I would like to buy all the outrageoulsy overpriced organic food at Whole Food. I love biodegradable forks and knives that are made out of potatoes, and plastic cups that tell me I can...
