o rly?
Tonight I met a guy from Melbourne at a bar in Williamsburg. I said my favorite band was from Melbourne. He asked who, I said The Drones. He said he knew them and liked them. I was excited, as this doesn’t happen very often, and asked if he’d ever seen them live. He said, “Oh yeah, my band’s played with them. It’s not every day you meet an American girl who likes The...

“If I became a philosopher, if I have so keenly sought this fame for which I’m...”
– Sartre
Of all the writers out there, Sartre is the one I most relate to and most aspire to be like (minus the whole 1000+ page book on philosophizing death).

The CollegeHumor/Jest Fight List

Last night a council of staff and freelancers created a fight list (inspired by Eva Wong). Click “Read More” to see the complete list.

This is a good fight list because every single one of us will read our opponent’s name and go, “Yeah, I could probably take them.”
Proud member of the council. CollegeHumor Fight Club 2012, let’s go!

i sat across from them because i thought they were...
I board the train. A woman is hugged and caressed by her 6-year old daughter, both of them smiling, embracing. The girl is dressed adorably in a frilly skirt, white tights, sparkly Converse and a winter hat that looks like a leopard’s head with ears on top. What a happy family—
The woman turns her face up to the light and I notice a tear sliding down her cheek. She gently pushes the...

“If you’re in a relationship when you leave high school, let her go, man....”
– Excerpt from a speech I gave to Onteora High School’s graduating class of 2010
I’m speaking at Eureka College next month and for shits and giggles, I re-read this. It makes me really excited to have been so bold with a crowd of high schoolers. Because I was right.

In the past few days…
- My dear friend Mike taught me how to dance. Like, with a guy. Specifically with him. And I like, didn’t trip or anything, and he said I did good (and seemed to mean it?!), and it was fun! For once in my life I felt like a REAL LADY.
- My best friend Lauren and I went on an adventure in Park Slope where we encountered many people we knew - including a slew of...

fulfilling new year's resolutions step one:...
After the shit storm that was 2011, I am hell-bent on making 2012 a stellar year.
My list of New Year’s resolutions: -exercising more than once a week -staying single until May (seems arbitrary, I know) -finishing at least one of the screenplays I’ve started.
My first step to achieving this was to sign myself up for several random, FREE writing workshops all over the city. I decided...

[Insert thoughtful insight here.]
I’m a little lazy with my argument but I’m starting to believe it.

a list of things i liked and disliked about tiny...
Liked:
-Pacing was solid. I think I found it less witty than it was really structured.
-The side characters. Charlotte was great, I don’t know who she is (daughter of the drummer of Bad Company? OK) but I thought she brought something to every line of dialogue she spoke. I would have liked this movie far less without her. The others were cast appropriately and I found an eery, specific...

“What can be done? Say who you are, really say it in your life and in your work....”
– Charlie Kaufman’s BAFTA speech on screenwriting is predictably about itself, and predictably rambly, and predictably brilliant. (via boringoldraphael)

#1 tourist attraction
I vaguely remember eating at a taco place in Williamsburg last night around 4:30am and my drunk friends and I stood around a table where these two Australian dudes were eating and I looked at the remains of their rice and beans and said “Are you gonna finish that?” and without waiting for a response proceeded to shovel the rest of their food into my mouth. They were good sports about...

the girl with the dragon tattoo
“Oy! Film spoilers, right ahead!” - Titanic
The other night I went with my brother and his girlfriend to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo up here in Po’Town ($7 a ticket! Hot damn). I really didn’t know anything about it or the European films or the book series, I just thought the trailer looked fun and I still like David Fincher enough to see his movies. I thought it...
