    I just quit my job in order to move to New Orleans, live cheaply, and finish my novel before I go to the Peace Corps. There are a lot of risks, namely money and health insurance. I was being very careful about money, but then two things happened:

    1) The crown on my only cavity/root canal fell off. I swallowed it and didn’t want to go through my own shit to recover it. It was only 4 yrs old and survived the breaking of my jaw by 6 youths. Cost=$400. Verdict=Shitty dentistry.

    2) New York State audited my taxes and found that in 2006, I inappropriately claimed a credit of $550 for tuition at a graduate program, when that credit only applies to undergraduate courses. Interest of 9% (higher than any bank account) brought this up to $655! They tracked me down at my grandmother’s house 2 days before I leave my job. Verdict=Don’t use TaxAct. Get an accountant. Go off the grid. And fuck the police!

    And fuck David Patterson too!

    When I registered for this website, the red TOO SHORT bar underneath the password never went away, even when I made my password ridiculously long. Then, when I tried to submit this complaint, the Post it box wasn’t clickable anymore. Coincidence? Or Stalinist conspiracy?

    So I’m taking the red-eye flight from JFK to New Orleans on Sunday night. I spent 3 days in the city for my bachelor party, and consumed enough alcohol and other substances to kill most land animals. Despite this overindulgence, I did not vomit…not once.

    Twenty minutes into my 3+ hour flight, the 10 year old boy sitting directly in front of me vomits all over himself, his father, and the chair in front of him. The entire cabin smelled like Keith Richards for the duration of the flight, which was, of course, late.

    You’ll pardon the annoying expression (and if you won’t, you can complain about it): I’m a twentysomething. I consider myself to be a particularly patient twentysomething, but this week sort of tested my limits of patience.

    I started working a part-time job in a small company run by two middle aged women. They are very nice women. I like them. They are terrible at the internet.

    One of them still uses AOL, so every e-mail I get from her tells me about my credit score. They were constantly mailing back and forth MS Word documents and had multiple copies of each (one never bought MS Office for her Mac so she was converting back and forth from Pages. Really!? Pages?!). To solve their problems, I showed them Google docs. Now I get e-mails every 10 minutes (half of them offering to get my my credit score in 2 easy steps) with subjects like, “can’t find the google doc???!!!!!!!”

    They also asked me to send a fax. Faxes. Are. Stupid. The icing on the cake? Their fax machine is broken.

    Have a great weekend!

    “Will MJ be greater in death than life?” What a stupid question for the stupid media. Of course he will be greater in death than life . . . he wasn’t so hot to begin with (with his debts, and changing skin, and androgeny, and Peter Pan syndrome, and platitudes about peace that contribute nothing to the world). He was never a person to us. Rather, he was a cultural myth backed by tons of money, protected from maturity by guards, and produced by the top producers in the world using the latest technology. All the dude was was a product. A well-packaged product. Not art, for sure.

    There’s this corpse under the desk and the janitor refuses to touch it and wants to call the police.

    There’s a mosquito in my room that attacks me when I go to bed at night. It knows the exact timing of how long it takes me to almost drift off before attacking again. I know I’m supposed to feel a kinship with skeeters because they share the same reproductive system as humans, but no one, and I mean no one, messes with my sleep.

    I’m what you might call overweight.

    BMI = 28.

    Overweight, but not obese.

    I started riding my bike to work–a 1970s Schwinn Suburban that weighs 72 lbs and sports 5 gears. It’s a 7.2 mile ride each way, which = 900 calories or so round trip. That should lose me a pound a week or so.

    Instead, I pull my hamstring on my overweight, outdated, hipster bicycle. I can’t walk my dog, stand on a ladder to help my grandmother, or brace myself above the headboard (though I don’t have a headboard right now–I don’t even have a bed).

    Last time I tried working out, I wound up with a broken jaw.

    It just goes to show: Don’t Do It.
