absurdités de l'existence. RSS

My name is Jen.

Just a girl relocating (finally) to Manhattan and starting anew. I actually crossed the Atlantic and didn't procure a hasty marriage in Paris- who would have thought? Life is indeed, absurd.

E-mail me. I promise I don't bite.

If you are ten years out of high school and you say, “damn, those were the best years of my life,” I don’t want anything to do with you. You scare me.

NYT: U.N. Pressures Myanmar to Allow Aid
 ”Political analysts say an influx of foreign aid and experts could undermine the junta’s standing with the population by demonstrating its inability to care for its people and by allowing foreign influences into the closed nation…”
“In its statements to its people, the junta has insisted everything is “returning to normal” and that it has the situation under control.”
Myanmar has seized all aid that has arrived, risking those that are still alive- over 1 million people- and putting them at risk for disease and death. This is just sick and sad.

No groceries needed for Jen

Apparently I won’t have to cook any meals my last few weeks here because the number of people who want to take me out to lunch or make dinner plans with me has exponentially increased since I put in my 2 weeks notice.

I didn’t think my stock could get any higher around here- but apparently it has.

I kid, I kid…

I'll miss these lunches...

  • Me: 2 for $5! Strawberries were 2 for $5 at Whole Foods last Friday, you can't get that shit here. So stop your speech.
  • My Boss: What are you going to do, live off of berries and nuts?
  • Me: Yes.
  • My Boss: Jesus, even getting rid of your Lezbaru you still are embracing this tree hugger stance.
  • Me: Oh, fuck you.

If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies… It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.
