There are a lot of options for attaching lights to your hands, and all of them are stupid. There’s the GloveLite, the Seven-Mode Rave Glove and the LED Glove. But Party Rats (in the picture above) are my favorite. Probably because they’re “perfect for night blogging.”
night blogging hell yes
Time to kick the nightbloggin up a notch
Next time I apply for a nightblogging job, the presence or absence of these fuckers is gonna be a dealbreaker.
If I don’t get some stars or RTs on this shit from you smart, funny, professional writer friends of mine, I think I’m gonna cry. If you see something, STAR SOMETHING.
Is that you get the same amount of nothing done whether Tumblr is up or down. And for exactly the same wages!
When I post my own tweets here, it’s because I think they are woefully underappreciated, which really bums me out. I’m not a famous comedy writer (yet/ever) and for the most part, the only people who usually RT or FF me are people with less than 100 followers themselves. That shit ain’t getting me hired (or laid, but that’s a different white whine). Some of you actually have reach and influence and I would really appreciate it if you could do a bitch a solid and RT or star that shit, willya? I kinda really need the love right now.
Spirit animal, obvs.

Here’s a little artist profile I did for the latest issue of The Block Magazine, on newsstands now.
I think I’ll be posting my own writing somewhere else for a while.
So, in response to a “writers wanted” post from an international blogging conglomerate I follow (the international part is important, because I’m Canadian), I put together what I thought was a great cover letter and sent it via Google Docs, along with my resume containing links to numerous samples. Good samples. Relevant samples. Funny samples.
On March 11, I sent it to the Human Resources email address specified. Several days passed with no reply. I was annoyed but figured they must have filled the position quickly.
Then last week, there was another post about the same job opening, requesting once again a cover letter, resume and samples, which I duly resent on March 22, this time directly to the editor of the site, as requested. No reply, so the following day, I sent a brief, friendly follow-up email to the site’s editor asking if she’d received my email application package or if anything needed to be resent. March 25, I sent one last query to confirm whether or not my expression of interest in the job had been received. I’ve received no replies to any of these communications.
It’s now Monday, March 28th. Help me understand why I haven’t even got so much as a “yup, got it” or “thanks, we’ve filled the position” or “Google docs sucks so I can’t open your shit” even a “fuck off and stop emailing us, you desiccated old Canadian sea hag”(although I don’t really want that last one). I mean, we live in a society here… don’t people still do things like acknowledge other people and the emails they send in response to jobs being advertised at them?
What do blogging jobs want?
Resume and writing samples by request if you have any leads for people who might dig my shtick. If you’re reading this blog, you’ve probably got your reasons, and maybe you have some connections that don’t care where I live or maybe even have jobs that could want me so badly they would need me and my party wardrobe to come there. It could happen, right? Anyway, holla atcha gurl.
*(Obvs, I don’t mean Steve Jobs, although that’s probably not a bad backup plan if actual employment continues to elude me, so I suppose I’ll keep my options open. Call me, Steve.)

If my woefully underemployed ass had any brains in it (it doesn’t - they’re all up front), I’d just follow FEK around and wave shinier jobs in front of him so I could pick at his leftovers.
Well, you’ve made it. Our new project is actually not a new site. Well, at least by the standard definition. We have decided that there is just too much noise online these days. We’re hoping that these “not a sites,” inspired by past artists trying to break the mold, as well as current important people in my life who are trying to just keep up with all of the information being thrown their way, help reduce your daily overhead.
Here’s how this is going to work: We don’t know what these sites will become, we are not sure if we will hire editors to man them, we’re not sure if they will grow or not. We do know that they will be built with love. They are meant to be real tools for people in each respective vertical. We hope to add new verticals. If you have suggestions on how we should mold them, people that may be good to work on them, etc., feel free to email me. Seriously.
We are not going to pretend to have the answers for online content, but we are sure as hell not going to contribute to sites that leave us feeling like kids with severe ADD and no medication in sight. We hope you come here and are able to function on auto drive. We will try and do the work for you. This is not a website. And, we hope it becomes a daily read of yours..
RaHru, I think you’re on to something with this un-site idea. (Certainly better than the last brand that tried to be Non-something.)
