Is it just me, or is the internet really fucking boring at 8am?
Completely Overwhelmed
So I’m going to lock myself in the bathroom for 20 minutes and read last week’s Time.

Has anyone been to a bartending school in New York that can recommend a good one? I’m thinking of learning how to bartend!
Hands down, Columbia Bartending School. I took a course a few years ago…unlike other schools, they used real booze, and by the end of class each week I was pretty tipsy. Only downside is it’s all the way up at Columbia University, but the price was...

Dudes….plans…..they change. I am now LOOKING FOR A ROOMMATE BIG TIME!
I had someone tell me they were taking the place then balk. And since, I’ve had people that were looking not show. I’m getting really freaked out because it’s for Jan. 1.

Does anyone have a sled? Blake put the idea of sledding in my head and I won’t be happy until it happens. I am 3 seconds away from going to get snow pants from my apt.

Email of the Day
When you work at a website, you constantly find yourself having to legitimize your career to older family members. I’ve found the best way to do this is by simply emailing them articles from CNN/NYT/WSJ/etc that mention Gawker. After reading this profile of Nick Denton on Market Watch, I received the following email from my favorite aunt, who is surprisingly technological for her age:

Has Anyone Seen The Plan B Commercial?
It’s pretty fucking nutty. Best line? During the litany of side effects… “If your period is one week late, you may be pregnant.” Oh! That’s what that is!
