Gainful Unemployment

I was laid off 2 days before my birthday in 2009, a dismal blessing. I miss health insurance and payroll, but I haven't bought bread since the pink slip because I have time to bake.

Sometimes I'm a serious job hunter, sometimes a serious slacker, but mostly, I'm an underemployed, freelance Jaqueline of many trades including writing and dogsitting. Either way, I scrapbook my finds and activities here for your benefit and amusement.

Follow me on Twitter if tv/movie/pro-cycling spoilers and unplanned live tweets won't hail on your parade. And yes, I do work blue so don't be huffy with me if you don't like cursing or merciless roasting of public figures.

You can look at my other blog Fashion Corpuscle if you like fashion. The ruins of my crumbling Tumblr blog empire awaits internet archaeologists.

    Jenny Slate on ‘Bored to Death,’ ‘Marcel the Shell,’ and Life After ‘SNL’ | Death and Taxes

    Jenny Slate was in the line of succession after Kristin Wiig as my SNL comedy girl crush, until she was wrongfully terminated. I’m convinced our sensibilities vibrate at similar frequencies: if we walked toward each other on a suspension bridge, it will definitely collapse. It’s a fucking metaphor so I don’t know if that falls in line with the laws of physics about waves and frequencies.

  • Holy shit. Shirt in a Can is real. This moment is bittersweet because shit, Shirt in a Can is real, but NBC has taken down all bootleg videos of Shirt in a Can without posting one on its own site. If I can’t watch the fake commercial, this moment feels incomplete.
Please go read the article in Wired about it and pretend like the scientists are spraying Tim Meadows with the liquid fabric.
