For this game, you will need: One copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, One large bottle whiskey, One shot glass, One stomach pump.
For as long as you can bear, read (without stopping) the novel from the beginning.
Take a shot whenever:
–You think J.K. Rowling uses a thesaurus
–You think J.K. Rowling should use a thesaurus
–A character vomits or feels like vomiting
–Something "seems" rather than simply is
–You see the same adjective repeated in a single sentence
Mind you, you probably should also have one go through the book sober, too, because it’s a well-spun yarn.
"American workers who feel bored and underpaid fritter away nearly two hours a day on the job."
Only two hours?!?! I’ve got that tripled, at the least.
Quote of the day:
"Cavemen’s life expectancy was so low because they would get eaten by a Tyrontosaurus Rex."
–Anonymous Portfolio Manager, MBA graduate and manager of millions of dollars of other peoples’ money.
How annoying is that?
But it’s true. Even if I don’t find a job I like better than this one, at least I feel like I’m accomplishing something by looking.
But this made me laugh a bit inside myself:
"A solid understanding of independent music and Japanese films is required. Must also demonstrate the ability to wear black clothing without looking too Goth. " http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/mar/381157906.html
Anyway, I’ve also been working more on the self-employment front:

Go to the middle of nowhere, Virginia.
Spend 2 days sleeping, examining orchids, riding horses, playing Wii, and marveling at the incredible verdant splendour and perfect night sky. Attend a redneck party with a jug band, go antiquing, and catch 3 falling stars.
Return to New York City.
Realize how much you hate this fucking town, your fucking shitty job, and the world and life you’ve shoehorned yourself into.
Fall into a deep depression.
This pertains to a conversation from yesterday evening, which proves that you can make a religion out of anything.
I’m kind of simultaneously amazed and appalled by this.
I remember the day I realized that I simply could not afford to purchase my own health insurance. The thought of taking a crappy job for some evile corporation slowly sucking my soul just for health care was so angering, I spent days crying over the reality that, in a country where we have been duped into believing that we can be anything we want, the fact that one’s vocation is chosen based on the availability of health insurance is not an acceptable ultimatum.
So here I am working a crappy job for an evile corporation who purchases shares in pharmaceutical companies, oil and coal, and tank engines being used in the Middle East for the personal profit of the type of person who has no less than a million dollars to invest in such things. So that I can have health insurance.
Go see ‘Sicko.’ Yes, it’s biased. Yes, it’s Crazy fatty Michael “listen to meeee” Moore. Yes, it’s manipulative. I went to this movie nervous that he would treat a topic about which I am pretty passionate in such a way that it and he and I would be laughable. And I laughed. And I cried. A lot. I do not cry at movies. I was/am/ so angry that this system is so flawed and has been for so long. I can’t sleep.
Go see ‘Sicko.’ Sign the petition to pass the act for Universal Health Care.
And if you had any sort of love or respect for Richard Nixon before the film, I apologize in advance for the disillusionment you will suffer.
