This Blog In Voice Form: My Segment on Fortnight on the Internets Podcast


There's a fantastic website out there called Rumors On The Internets where you'll find a fantastic podcast called Fortnights On The Internets, where you'll find a brand new episode featuring my actual voice!

Hosts Alpine, Alison and I talk about everything from why I almost stopped writing this blog (but didn't) to whether or not I think our generation is lazy and entitled (which I don't), and we did it all in 20, listener-friendly minutes.

Check it out, and if you like what you hear (or rather when you like what you hear), go "like" the FOTI page on Facebook.

I think it's also worth mentioning that we recorded this podcast using the coolest Skype call reporter widget that I both downloaded and implemented successfully - a complete and total miracle.

The First Annual 30 (and 20-Nothings) Holiday Gift Guide!

Image
I love a holiday gift guide as much as the next person looking for a way to spend 15 minutes pretending they're not just procrastinating online, but I find that most if not all feature things no one needs at prices most people can't afford. And so I decided that I should spend 30 minutes pretending I'm not procrastinating online by writing a gift guide of my own. I promise that each and every item is something someone needs as a price most of us 20 and 30-nothings can afford. Enjoy! For The Girls (sisters, friends, moms) - The Drug Store Beauty Box You have a list of products that you swear by so why not give the gift of knowledge to some people whose hair, skin, nails and face you love! Place it all in one of those cute pre-wrapped boxes they sell at Paper Source, and you're golden. Here's my list: Dove Style & Care Hair Spray - quite literally the best smelling and working device to hold your hair in place currently on the market.  Essie Nail polish in Jazz ...

My Funny Valentine: Jana the Soviet-era Skin Doctor

Image
--> I never intended to fall in love with a 65-year-old Russian aesthetician who threatens my life every other week, but it happened none-the-less, and with R�s full approval. I was just laying on the waxing table, half-folded paper robe draped over my who-ha, contemplating how the hell I was going to finish and book proposal and a feature film in 72 hours when the door opened behind me and a pair of conspicuously strong hands started massaging my head.             �I massage you for few minutes ,� the voice that belonged to the hands said . �Ina still finishing other client.� The mystery voice was round and deep, like a 65-year-old Russian aesthetician�s. The person connected to it smelled like a combination of baby powder and my grandmother�s old doll room. She was standing behind me in a dimly lit room, so I couldn�t even see her face until it was suddenly two centimeters from my own, yelling.     ...

How to Fake It Til You Make It, Correctly

Image
I was having a drink with a friend the other night when the awkward topic of how to behave before you've, "really made it," came up. Trust me, I feel as weird writing the words, "really made it," as you feel reading them. What does it mean? When has it happened? What constitutes being a success? Nobody knows. I mean, Lena Dunham, Aaron Sorkin, the guys who created Modern Family know, but I'm talking ten rungs down from that in the land of baby writers who have yet to sell that project that makes all other project sales a possibility. My land. These are super heady things that most people will tell you exist in your own heart and mind, at the end of the day. But at the beginning of the day, or mid-morning - which is where I like to think my own current career lies - they exist in a more concrete way. Simply put, in this industry it matters whether or not you behave like you're "there" - a success , an important person , someone people should be...
