Bad News, Gawker Commenters
It appears Gawker’s traffic has actually been steadily increasing, despite the site getting progressively worse in almost every area. According to their Quantcast page, they’re actually at their highest traffic total ever.
So even though the quality of writing has completely gone to shit, the commenting system is now horrible and the site’s been overrun by bigots (that’s...

“2004: ew these Keane guys are just a bunch of posh brats. Who do they think they...”
– Fuck Yeah KEANE!:
Hah. I’ve actually loved how each album has its own special vibe. I don’t think I would’ve liked it if any of their albums were too similar, like most bands. I think Strangeland has its own nice mix of sound, too — I wouldn’t say it sounds too...

Planned Parenthood is on Tumblr!
barackobama:
plannedparenthood:
Planned Parenthood is excited to be launching our new Tumblr that’s all about sexual and reproductive health – bodies, birth control, relationship issues, “is it normal for this to do this?” type things. In the coming weeks and months we’ll be sharing what we know, answering questions, and just… tumblring.
We hope you like it! And we hope it helps.
Welcome to...

Hooray!
After not getting a single job application callback for months, I got two within a 15-minute span while I was eating lunch. I called one back already, and I’m waiting a bit until the other hiring professional is back before I call them back.
Here’s hoping…

A.J. Daulerio Butthurt Fox Mole Isn't Dishing Out...
So Joe Muto, the Fox Mole for Gawker, broke the news that he was getting served with a search warrant via his Twitter account. Muto was paid $5,000 by Gawker for the content he obtained from his employment at Fox.
Now, however, it appears A.J. Daulerio, editor-in-chief at Gawker, is butthurt Muto broke the news on his Twitter account instead of Gawker. Daulerio’s rationale? “[H]e is...

Fringe Season 5?
Not sure how I feel about tonight’s episode. There’s just a spark missing, and it all feels so cliche and phony. Doesn’t really feel like Fringe. They said they filmed two endings to this season, and that the ending they’d choose if the series gets renewed would be based on this episode.
I’m kind of leaning toward thinking they just need to let the show go after this...

This is just your friendly reminder that men use the term friend-zone to rape women and you are NOT, as a man, allowed to reclaim it.
Period.
Even if you’ve heard a woman use the phrase once.
When shit like this…

Job Searching Blows
I know I’ve said this multiple times before, but I’m reiterating it now: job searching blows.
Not much else to add beyond that. It’s just depressing.

Volunteering
I’ve been unemployed for quite a while, and the job search isn’t going well. I want to get into volunteering, but I haven’t been able to find many opportunities I feel interested in (or that I feel like I’d actually be helpful in) that are in my area.
Not sure how many people will read this, but does anyone know of good volunteering resources to find places to help?

Well then. It took less than 24 hours for Fox News to identify the mole that ripped Fox on Gawker yesterday.

Yeah, I don’t understand how the mole doesn’t think he or she will be found out relatively soon, if the...

George Zimmerman's Lawyers Lost Contact With Him?
According to the AP, George Zimmerman’s lawyers are no longer representing him as they no longer have contact with him.
Fucker better not be making a run for it.

Fun Weekend
So… I’ve spent my entire weekend reformatting and rewriting my résumé and drafting a new cover letter format. If I don’t start getting some callbacks I’m going to be pissed.

Dammit.
I got a call from a company I applied to while I was in the shower (I had just got done working out — not like I’m waiting until noon to wake up), but they didn’t leave a message and the number doesn’t take incoming calls. (I searched Google for the number’s information, if you’re wondering how I know it’s from that company.)
Dammit.

The Job Search Continues
I just can’t seem to find a single place that will even give me a callback. I’ve applied to close to 60 places since early December/late November, and I’ve only got one company that gave me more than just a “thanks for applying” e-mail (and I just took an IQ-type test for them, which I did incorrectly because I misread the directions for one set of questions, so that...
