If you ever see me trying to dance seductively to "Everybody Dance Now", I ask you to please put me out of my misery.
Also, I'm a terrible blogger. I'll write more soon, I promise.

Attention men who ride public transportation! If you're seated on a train or bus, and a pregnant chick gets on and is looking for a seat, GIVE IT TO HER! I have long ago accepted the fact that chivalry is dead, but this isn't a matter of chivalry, this is a matter of human decency. Pregnant women have an entire other human being in them! They are going to be mothers- wouldn't you want someone to give up their seat for your mom?
No, I myself am not pregnant, but I still felt it necessary to make this public service announcement for the good of knocked-up ladies everywhere. I also have a selfish reason for posting this. The other day I was on the el and although I was surrounded by able-bodied men, I was the only one who gave up my seat when a pregnant woman got on the train. And you know what? It was sort of awkward. It made me feel manly. There was also that paranoid worry that maybe the woman was just fat and not pregnant, and that I'd insult her by giving her my seat. Guys, you don't have to worry about that. Even if a woman isn't pregnant it's still a pretty stand-up gesture for a dude to give up his seat for a lady. When a lady gives up a seat for another lady it just leaves both ladies feeling a little fruity. So do the right thing, fellas, and give up your seat next time you encounter a woman-with-child on your daily commute.

I'm Still in Love with You
The whole music video is worth a watch, but things really pick up at about 2:57, when they board the S.S. Candy Girl.

I have often criticized my hometown newspaper for only printing news stories involving senior citizens, overachieving adolescents, community service, or senior citzens and overachieving adolescents doing community service together. They must have taken what I said to heart, as their latest cover story was about AIDS. They're trying.

I've reached a point of desperation. You may already be aware that I'm in the process of looking for a job. Surprise surprise, but very few people seem eager to employ a former student of dramatic literature, theatre history, AND the cinema. I'm temping at the moment, but many a day goes by where I'm not called to duty. It's days like these when it takes every ounce of determination that I have to throw on a coat, and walk the block-and-a-half to drop my Netflix in the nearest mailbox. If any potential employers are reading this, I beg you to employ me, so that I can rid myself of this hermit-like existence. Let me drop my Netflix off in the mailbox I pass on my way to work.

Hey cab drivers,
When I'm standing by myself at bus stop, minding my own business, it is not my passive-aggressive way of hailing a cab. So there is no need for you to slow down, pull to the side of the road, or honk for me. If I wanted a cab I'm fully aware of the appropriate cab-hailing procedure. Please, just let me be.
Thanks, if you could please point your cab driving friends toward this blog!

Overheard on the bus...
(White Teenage Boy walks to the back of the bus with his friend, Black Teenage Boy)
Black Teenage Boy: What're you doing?
White Teenage Boy: What?
Black Teenage Boy: Can't you see what color my skin is? People are going to talk if I sit back there.
