So, what’s new in my life? I got my SidekickII finally. Let me say, I am so glad I lost my phone (the camera is another story, but I digress). I’m hooked on this little bitch. AOL Instant Messenger and Manhunt Mobile on the M Train, in the post office line, on my break at work… It’s scary. I picked up a coat check job at Area 10018. Ah, nostalgia. I used to do doors and dance there before it moved, so many memories. Anyway, it means I’ll be working every Friday night, but working is better than wasting. It’s an extra 150 or so a week, tax-free. I need it. I’m gathering letters of recommendation and transcripts for the Columbia application. I’m going to try to make the Early Decision deadline of March 1; it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve been doing my pushups every night. I’m getting a little body. Now that I work right down the block from the Crunch on 13th Street, and now that I want to be all shirtless and sexy at coat check, wonders should be occurring soon. Steven’s got me hooked on the song ‘Your Mangled Heart’ by The Gossip. Check it out. And check out Natasha Bedingfield. I know it’s cheesy, predictable, (gasp!) mainstream. But the music gets stuck in my head. And the bitch can sing.

These Words was such a better single than Unwritten. When I got the cd I knew that’d be her second single, and it always made me sad to know that.

though the new cd is not as enjoyable as “movement”

when we recruit, a journalism degree is not essential, or even “desirable”. a well-rounded character with some (maybe unusual) work experience and a demonstrated ability to hustle a bit in whatever field they studied for tends to sway our selection panels more than straight journalism degrees. IF you can combine some journalism courses with international studies, economics and or pol sci, cool. but when people can write, naturally, it is obvious. Those people are like gold dust when they combine a flair for writing with acquired non-journalistic realworld skills in law, economics, social service - almost any field that relates to people, ideas and administration.
so think more broadly than just journalism when you plan your course. it won’t hurt your chances of getting into a good media job, and may well enhance them.

If you’re aspiring to the toned and smooth look alternate those pushups with a few rounds of pullups for a dramatic difference. Measure your hallway then drop by any hardware or plumbing store and have them assemble a length of 3/4 pipe with end flanges. Mount it just out of reach in a hallway and make a point of doing a few everytime you walk by…. it works for me!
