Dear Sir/Madam

Meg Houri­han said:

It’s no wonder we’re seeing an increase in unem­ploy­ment, people seem to have no idea how to apply for a job these days.

Recent per­sonal expe­ri­ence has shown me that there are a lot of qual­i­fied, tal­ented people in the Boston area – and believe it or not, I think that most know how to address their cover letters.

Though I agree with what Ms. Meg says, I do know how to write proper cover let­ters, and I also know how to market my work to stand out (my pro­fes­sional work is entirely seper­ate from Suck­ahs, and this site).

Still, I’ve been walk­ing into these inter­views for posi­tions that I con­sider beneath me, and they are telling me that I am only one of over 100+ resumes… I mean, 2-3 years ago, I would walk into an inter­view and get the job that day.

So all funny stuff aside, the econ­omy is not improving.

Park Slope, Brooklyn

I snapped a few photos while Pres­ley and I were vis­it­ing Kunta in the Slope. I loved her new neigh­bor­hood and apart­ment. The exte­rior shots are from down the block, near 7th Ave and 9th. I neglect to post a photo of Kunta’s place for obvi­ous reasons… wouldn’t want any Suck­ahs groupies harass­ing her or anything.

Like the huge Heineken bottle? Still haven’t cracked it yet.

God was Drunk When he Created the I-84

We had a hor­ri­ble return trip to cam­bridge tonight from brook­lyn, as the rains were plen­ti­ful, and the subaru inad­e­quate to combat them. I seri­ously can’t drive as fast as the SUV crowd, because of vis­i­bil­ity and the hydroplaning.

<3 NYC over and over. happy new years.
