What NYC neighborhoods can you afford to live in? →
Where can you afford to live in the city? Here’s a visually pleasing way to find out where your paycheck will allow you to live in the five boroughs. According to this map from Envisioning Development, the fat cats are on the Upper East Side, where the median income in 2006 was $178,000. Compare that to the neighboring East Harlem, where the median income that year was $29,200. There are...

Life inside the bubble
I used to live in a bubble. A really big, resilient bubble that I was trapped inside. Nothing could touch me in there, neither good nor bad. It was a life of perpetual apathy and blah-dom. I was safe from all harm, yet shielded from a lot of good things that could potentially enrich my life and make me happy. But what’s the point in life if you can’t experience both the ups and...

Completely baffled!
the following was written about me by lauren’s ex (who i actually liked!), the day after she ended things with him:
“You mentioned then, and you mentioned again on the phone yesterday that your feelings on the subject of my neglect were seconded by Lindsay. That was just adding insult to injury. I’ve made no secret about the fact that I do not, and have never, liked Lindsay. ...

Get your tickets now! The second season of “Going Places, Doing Stuff,” artist-led road trips that are organized by the Flux Factory, begins this weekend. The drill: you sign up for a tour, board a bus — in this case, a vegetable oil-powered school bus — with a few dozen fellow adventurers, and are taken somewhere, where you do something, none of which is revealed to you beforehand. (Past...

Perez Hilton on being attacked by Black Eyed Peas →
I woke up around 2:45am last night and couldn’t fall back asleep, so I did what I usually do to combat insomnia: I went online. I was astonished when I checked Twitter and saw several tweets from Perez Hilton on how he was just attacked by Will.I.Am’s manager in Toronto and needed the cops to come to his hotel to rectify the situation. Apparently several times that night,...

In THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND: THE MUSICAL, a musical parody inspired by the beloved TV sitcom “The Golden Girls,” four women over 60 (Blanchette, the varicose-veined vixen; Dorthea, the brainy ball-buster; Roz, the lovable airhead; and Sophie, the wisecracking spitfire) are spending their golden years together in a bungalow in Miami.

I QUIT MY JOB!!
In the midst of a recession, I quit my job. Crazy? Yes. Wrong? No way.
I’ve been working in IT at an investment bank for nearly two years, and not once have I felt satisfied here. I’ve known all along that this is not where I’m meant to be, nor what I’m meant to be doing. I simply do not fit into the Corporate American culture. It’s like no matter how many times I...

West Coast Roadtrip
I’m back from my two-week roadtrip up the west coast. We began in San Francisco, driving up the Northern California coast and then through south-central and coastal Oregon to Portland for the first leg. The second leg had us driving from Portland to the OR/WA coast, through the inland national parks, and ultimately up to Seattle. It’s going to take me an eternity to go through all of...

The quarter-life crisis continues...
When 2009 began, I “resolved” to start figuring out my career path. It took a lot of time and reflection, but I think I’m much closer to knowing what I’m meant to be doing with my life.
Here’s what I know: I hate literally everything about my current job. It is stifling and unfulfilling. I am not given even a fraction of the amount of work I am capable of doing, and...
