So apparently THIS is happening today. --- The convo I had with my boss in regards to the general strike went something like this: Me: Sooo, tomorrow is Occupy Wall Street's general strike. Him: Okay... Me: Apparently people aren't supposed to be going into work. They're going to block off the subways. They're protesting throughout the city! Him: And how does this relate to you coming into work? Me: I'm just saying it might be hard for me to make it in on time... y'know, because they're … [Read more...]
Live-blogging Hurricane Irene in NYC
August 27, 2011 By 18 Comments
Whaddya do when you're stuck inside with nothing to do but ride out a hurricane? You write about it, obviiii. Saturday, 11 a.m. Head to the store before noon (that's when stuff started closing) to get "supplies." Holy sh*t you would think the apocalypse struck NYC. Part of me thinks that people are just using this storm as an excuse to buy as much unhealthy food as possible and completely pig out for the weekend. Even if the storm was at its worst and lasted two full days with no water or … [Read more...]

While I sit in my New York City office chatting with my coworkers about the weekend's impending hurricane (ie: I'm distractedly yelping to everybody, "I'M GOING TO DIE IN MY BASEMENT APARTMENT!", calling my parents in tears, and frantically checking bus lines), I'm finding myself having a hard time focusing on work and more about what I'll need to prepare myself for the apocalypse. 1. bottle of whiskey This is probably the most essential item for a few reasons.

Holy Sh*t I’m Moving yadda yadda Part 2!
December 13, 2010 By 2 Comments
The second and final installment of Angela's "HSIMTNYC" Video Diary has finally arrived! This video was a definitely more of a challenge to put together than the first. In part 1, the storyline had a clearly defined beginning, middle and end, which made it easier in terms of knowing what to film and how to edit it. Capturing life post-move was a little more difficult because, like, I'm still living it. So I did my best to take about two months worth of footage and make some type of … [Read more...]

November 27, 2010 By 9 Comments
Four Loko and other caffeinated alcoholic beverages will be off store shelves by December 13, after being issued letters of warning by the FDA- an action spurred by the rise in hospitalizations from consumption of the drinks. Let's give a big round of applause to both the FDA and all of the newb college freshman for providing us with yet another example of what happens when stupid people ruin the fun for everybody else. This potential ban hits home particularly hard as I've … [Read more...]
“Hey man.. want to get digitally high?”
July 15, 2010 By 4 Comments
After trying to kill time since being unemployed, and searching for inspiration on what to write a Buntology story about, the first click of my Stumble-Upon button brought me to this article. The article details high school students in Oklahoma who were brought to the principal's office on suspicion of being high or drunk. But what the kids were actually high on was the music, mannn. What the students had tried is "I-Dosing," also known as digital drugs. This technology works through the … [Read more...]
New Tiger Woods commercial, blah blah blah…
April 8, 2010 By 2 Comments
I honestly could not care less about the whole "Tiger Woods" situation. It's on every channel, people are always talking about him. For the most part I just tune it out, but on the radio this morning the hosts were talking about a new Nike commercial featuring Tiger. The DJ was really angry and talking about how despicable the clip was, so naturally I was curious. Thanks to the Yahoo! news feed, the controversial clip was up to view. *Original clip got taken down, so enjoy this clip … [Read more...]
