Will's Blog – February 2009 Archive (11)

Okay, so I'm very excited about my new place. At first, I had a little bit of renter's remorse because the apartment is smaller than the place I was at before. The Brown Couch of Death was the most comfortable piece of furniture I've ever owned; I've fallen into blissful sleep on it many a nights. Because it's smaller, the BCOD wouldn't have fit in the new living room, so I got rid of it and the loveseat.



It turned out to be blessing in… Continue

"Dammit I’m Mad"



by

Demetri Martin



Dammit I’m mad.

Evil is a deed as I live.

God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.

To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.

Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?

Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.

I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.

The lawsuit, filed yesterday, says Fairey didn’t violate the copyright of the April 2006 photo because he dramatically changed the nature… Continue

I guess none of us just took the time to really contemplate how expensive it is being an exec in New York City before.

$35,000.00 a year for gowns.

$16,000.00 a year for vacations.

$45,000.00 for a nanny.

$75,000.00 - $125,000.00 a year for a driver.

So even if they're doing a terrible job, we have to keep paying them tons of money. Who else would be motivated to run their bank into the ground if we didn't? Could… Continue

Why spend your Friday night getting drunk, making a fool out of yourself, and hurting the next morning for nothing when you can be saving the tatas? Yes, you can still get drunk, make a fool out of yourself, and hurt the next morning, but at least you can feel better knowing that you did it for a good cause. 50% of your measly $10 cover charge goes directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (… Continue

Scientists were able to clone an extinct ibex, a relative of the goat. Though the kid only lived for seven minutes, it opened the door of possibility for science to clone other extinct animals.

... President Obama lays the smack down. A $500,000.00 salary cap on execs of firms that receive financial bailout money. Damn... I was going to apply to Citigroup and write on my resume that I wouldn't feel motivated to do my job unless they give me a $20 million bonus on top of my salary too. Foiled again.…
