I’ve been thinking a lot about Foursquare recently and wondering why I don’t check-in much anymore. I’m not sure why.
Mom, don’t read this post.
I work in online marketing and it’s no secret that I actively blog, tweet and check in on Foursquare. It’s not just my profession - it’s fun. Social media is largely responsible for some of my closest...

I forget how much I don’t like Skype’s interface until I get to use something else.

Friday Feature: I'm a big ol' dork edition
Me: Every time we have this talk I feel like I need a cigarette and a drink.
I think I just started to understand Mad Men a little better. ;)
My epically cool coworker Peter: Ha! Can I be Betty Draper? She has the easy job.
Me: Ok. I get to be Pete Campbell. I’ve had a crush on Vincent Kartheiser since Masterminds with Patrick Stewart (1997) that was only solidified by his brief stint on...

Why yes, I am the type of girl who paints her nails the color of her employer’s logo for purposes of branding. Thanks for noticing.
I feel like I’m having the same conversations today I had two years ago. Same shiitake mushrooms, different day. ::headdesk::

– email from city of chicago to downtown workers. really really silly downtown workers. (via hamjokes)
(I can’t believe they actually sent this to people. But I am glad of one thing: working in the burbs means I don’t have to deal with the tourists getting even stupider during filming.)

Firefly reunion on Warehouse 13…this officially just made an already awesomesauce(TM) day even better.
Finally broke down and watched “The Social Network” trailers. Now I want to see it. Thinking about organizing a Tweetup. Is that too meta?

Today on Friday Feature, I get into a fight, and Scott makes his glorious FF debut!

Me: Also, I got into a fight about female circumcision online today. I think I’ve ended the internet.
Matt: What i did tell you about doin that before 8pm?
Me: I KNOW. I’m sorry.
Matt: Next time, wait until you hear the Perfect Strangers theme song. Then go.
Me: Oh…that’s the secret?...
Reason 82 I keep a Utilikey on my keychain: stepped on a screw in the parking log and had to use the screwdriver end to take it out.

Today is...
Both the ten year anniversary of my parents and I moving into their house, and Bastille Day (in France). I called them to wish them a happy ten years and chat a little bit. Then I launched into “Bonne Anniversaire,” a “Happy Birthday” song I learned in high school in French class.
I couldn’t remember all the words, so I made some up.
The phone call ended with my...
Holy crap on a popsicle, the first X-Men movie was released ten years ago today? I feel oooooold. Thanks internet for reminding me.

The soundtrack to the Labyrinth just came up on my iPod on shuffle. I WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY.
Reason 47 I love @alfencl: she mentions she had to get a vaccination, and I get to ask “Ooo, where are you going now?” instead of “You ok?”

caro:
Really interesting takedown of the Teach For America program, which I saw many people apply to (mostly unsuccessfully) when I was in college.
Having grown up in a houseful of teachers, I can say that some of the criticisms of TFA do run far deeper than simply “they’re Ivy League overachievers looking for a resume bullet point before heading off to Harvard Law or Capitol Hill.” My mother...
