It’s really too bad there’s no Shanghai Tails or something like that. This would be PERFECT for Tails in the News.
Just in the nick of time
With all the excitement and craziness of starting at Ning, I forgot that I had registered for the GRE and was supposed to take it this Saturday. Needless to say, gainful employment made diligent studying a bit rough, and I had completely forgotton about the exam.
This morning I spotted the not-touched-for-three-weeks GRE flash cards and rememebred “whoops! I’m supposed to take this on...

James — are you going to test it out and give me a report back on if I should do it? I don’t want to go through thr excruciating trouble of trying it out myself if it’s no good.

Very excited for more Yacht Rock this wednesday!
In which I need to chill out
I’m having work anxiety sleep issues. And I’ve only been there a few weeks! Sigh.
Makes me long for the stress-free days of Tails with the occasional nice day of an Imagination paycheck.

Guess I didn’t need to buy homoorhipster.com. Sigh.

I had a dream that I was working for Ashley Paige, the insufferable swimsuit designer who has a reality show on TLC (that I have never watched). I was working as an assistant, as was my friend Laura. Nina Garcia came into the showroom as we were getting ready for fashion week, and we were both admiring a big collar necklace. “I think this is really what Georgina Chapman...

I miss Botasha. Probably more than I miss Tails, but that’s another story. Glad I could hook Renee up.

Proud to be an American
I’m pretty much NEVER patriotic… unless it’s the two weeks every other year when the Olympics are taking place. Then all my anger about Bush, imperialism, etc, dissapates, and instead it’s “GO AMERICA!” and “DIE RUSSIAN SCUM” all the time.
So it’s a little embarassing how pumped I was to find a bit of evidence that those prepubescent Chinese...
Carillo cracks me up
oliviaisferosch:
NBC sportscaster Mary Carillo is the queen of ridiculous quips. Seemingly relegated to the fluff lifestyle pieces (touring the Great Wall, panda houses) and “late night” (12:30 a.m.), she seemingly gets more ridiculous by the hours. Two gems from this evening:
While interviewing the keeper of panda bears at a “panda farm” where the bears are bred almost entirely for mating:

I can haz job?
So… I started a new job today. It’s about as far as I could go from Tails. It’s a start-up called Ning, which makes a social networking platform that people can use to start their own social network about… anything. Today I worked 11 hours, which may have been about the total number of hours I’d work at Tails in a given week. Still, despite being SLEEPY, I’m...

Amazing.

So I had a lunch “date” today. I say “date” because it didn’t end up as anything more than eating with another person. It didn’t go poorly, it didn’t go spectacularly. It just went. And then,…
