I’m fairly positive that shows like “NYC Prep” still exist to provide reasons to make homicide justifiable. In which case, Bravo is doing us all a service.

Someone once told me that I reminded them of Janeane Garafalo because of my sarcasm and cynicsm. …After watching some of her stand-up, I realized that that comment was not actually a compliment.

I’ve always wondered this, and it turns out that yes, NYC cabbies do hate the little TV’s in the back of the cab as much as we do.
It’s kind of hard to read, but the note says:
“PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. IF UR Not Watching TV, PLEASE TURN IT Off or TURN IT Low. Thank u So Much. PLEASE!”
How fast you can stab the off button in the bottom-right corner of those screens is one of the tests of how much of a real New Yorker you are, along with knowing which door of which subway car to board, depending on your stop.
The problem is that not every screen has the ‘off’ button in the same place. Which should totally be against the law
I hate these TV’s too. I once tried actually watching it, and got pretty nauseous. BUT I will say one thing. Before the use of the iPhone was widespread, we used these TV screens for their maps. On one night, when we were going to a bar in Fort Greene, the taxi driver was completely lost, and it was me and my friend shouting out directions from that little TV’s map that completely saved us.

» CO2 Levels Highest in Two Million Years
This reminds me of the time when the topic of global warming came up at a meeting with my manager (who was very conservative). He would not accept that global warming existed and said that the levels of CO2 have been exaggerated and sensationalized by everyone. ‘this is merely a natural phenomenon, that occurs every few decades, and everyone thinks the sky is falling’. What a douche.

It’s been a month (almost) since I’ve graduated from FIT, and the month of ‘rest’ I gave myself is almost up. I really need to buckle down now and draw out my plans for the next year. Given that a job in design (if I even get one in this economic environment) will pay me less than or equal to what I get on unemployment; I’m pretty much taking the oppurtunity to do my own thing and see where it gets me. Atleast if I get nowhere, the government will still bail me out. I’ll be the GM of the Accessories Design small businesses. And then the American public can own 60% of my -$172 billion.
On the plus side, there seems to be a gillion bars offering drinks for $1 for the majority of the day and free food with it. If I end up broke(r) and homeless, atleast I can still eat….and more importantly, be drunk.

- Me: ...whenever someone in the office made small talk about our weekends, I would cringe.
- Cathy: ur weekends arent conservative like [those of people in the] finance industry.
- Me: yea, people in finance don't normally blow guys and then fall asleep with their penises in their mouths.
