What a joke

Icks everywhere

I don't know about you, but I am equally fortunate and unfortunate to be old enough to remember a place and time before the good ol' internet. A simpler time, a time when you had to find humor in joke books, terrible TV sitcoms, inside jokes with old pals, the funnies, and good old-fashioned farts . When I was a child, my insane friends and I would invent strange and completely nonsensical words and repeat them over and over again until the gibberish finally became comical. There's no denying i…

Instead of mooching, she could just play Meerca Chase for hours on end to make 1B Neopoints just like the rest of us did

Let's be real: College sucks for a lot of reasons. The “Freshman Fifteen,” midterms and finals, essays that take you a million years to write and rewrite, only to rewrite again. I hated it all. But dealing with haughty, self-important professors may have been the absolute worst. I remember at University of Toronto, I had a professor who only assigned books he had written. This is a sure sign of a narcissist and someone who cares far more about their reputation and book sales than they do about…

The Disneyfication of Greek mythology in 1997 animation Hercules is pretty hilarious if you're familiar with the real (and very messed up) lore. In the movie, Zeus, Hera and Hercules are presented as one big wholesome family. The actual legend is full of adultery, violence, revenge, and terrible parenting. In the Disney movie, Hercules is the beloved child of Zeus and Hera. He is stripped of his immortality by Hades and forced to life as a mortal on earth. In the original myth, Hercules is not…

Hindsight is truly something

Privileged parenting at its worst

It feels kind of wrong to be bored on a beautiful day. But sometimes, the odds are stacked against you. Lately, at least here in beautiful New York City, allergy season is in full swing. This means that people are sneezing, tearing up, coughing, and feeling completely miserable wherever they go. I've personally been responsible for a cacophony of sniffles, sneezes, and nose-blowing in my open office plan, and lemme tell ya: I do not feel good about it. The fear of sneezing on a stranger, leakin…

Being a cat lady is no easy feat. While some people use the term in a derogatory manner as if we're resigned to a spinster's future and kitty litter-covered floors, being a cat-obsessed woman definitely has its challenges. For one, going on trips freely. When I head out for a vacation, I'm forced to give my roommate a long list of instructions that I'm not totally sure he'll pay attention to. It's that or pay a cat sitter to check in on my babies, and in this economy, that's getting more diffic…

Not the worst living situation

Congratulations Internet users and abusers. You've made it through the weekend and are enjoying a Monday. While the best servers and bartenders have today off, us desk jockeys are left to gather up our last shreds of dignity and march our way into work, whether physically or mentally ( people who work from home ). To lessen my weekly pain, I, personally start Monday's work on Sunday. It's like microdosing misery, the kind of misery that leads to your own burnout and your boss' benefit. Easing m…
