#4: Never read the whole book. Become proficient at dissecting a single scene and write a paper on that.

kateism: Today’s my Gawkerversary.Feels like it was just yesterday that I trekked through last winter’s worst snowstorm on my first day, nervous and intimidated as all hell.  (That was an awful snow last year BTW.  Remember??  You probably rolled over, looked out your window, and said fuck that.)  Anyway, I cannot explain with real words how excited I was (and still am!) to become a part of this company.  The experiences I’ve had and people I’ve met have been amazing, hilarious, unbelievable, mortifying, and unbelievably hilarious amazing.  I have learned more than I EVER did in college (isn’t it always so) about this industry and can’t wait for what’s to come with my interest, career, and life in Media & Gawker.   Cheers, y’all (James!) YAY! You know your replacement is a keeper when she does your job better than you did it. It’s been a dream having you on board, here’s to many more years at this wacky company together!

Well played, Facebook. Curious if they’re targeting my company, my background, or both.

Foster's ridiculous post intros actually turned up something positive!

I just got this Facebook message from a girl named Nina.

I saw your name mentioned in a friend’s (Joe Coscarelli) Gawker guest post and I remembered contacting you 4+ years ago on MySpace (ha) to ask about NYU, Gallatin, and Weezer (ha again).

I just wanted to thank you for giving me advice back then. Gallatin was perfect for me and I graduated one semester early this January. I’m now working in emerging media at JWT (global ad agency). Glad to see you’re at Gawker - congrats and thanks again!

I imagine this is the kinda feeling teachers have when a student comes back years later and isn’t an abject failure at life.

Not gonna lie, I got a little teary eyed writing my goodbye comment to Foster.

Oh, come on Facebook. I try to call home once a week.

Rachel Ray shared her exercise secrets. One of them probably isn't "smoke a fuckload of cigarettes," which I hear she does. For the record, this is also part of the Gawker Media fitness diet. Seriously. I think we're equity partners with Phillip Morris or something. HEY YO DEL, you and Batty should get on this shit. I'm talkin' a full fuckin' banner ad with flash or whatever, and it's just a single Parliament light, and it burns down from left to right while you're reading the page, and when it gets to end of the cigarette, it reminds you: TIME TO STEP OUTSIDE, AND TAKE A MOMENT FOR YOURSELF. PARLIAMENT LIGHTS: THE SMOKE OF PROFESSIONAL BLOGGERS. Hey Phillip Morris, call me.

The final weekend has started. If you’ve ever wanted to be published on this website, now would be a good time to email me. We’re basically running this play for the next two days.

Look! Sales and Edit can work together!
