I got a job! I moved out! Life is wonderful!

That said, this site no longer seems appropriate.

Check out my new blog: http://accidentaljerseygirl.blogspot.com/

all the old stuff is in there plus my new adventures as a resident of the Garden State. I will post more regularly I promise!

Having all the free time I've been enjoying I have watched the entire first two seasons of Mad Men over the course of a week.

If you have never seen it, seriously its the best show ever. I can't even begin.

Its scary how much pertinent stuff to you can extrapolate from a show taking place in the early 60s.

I just watched the season finale of season two and Elizabeth Moss (formerly Zoey Bartlett on my fav the west wing) seriously broke my heart.

I may single and very single at that, but man if I was in a relationship and THIS
happened, well I think I'd prefer my present uber single status.

just sayin'

I haven't written in almost a month! I'm a horrible blogger!

So much has happened. I went on vacation with my entire family and there were no causualties--I'll tell you about that another time.

I've been interviewing a lot and I accepted a job yesterday! So now I'm only 32, Single and living with my parents...so that's a nice development. I've also set an official move date from MA. I am driving all my worldly possessions down to LI on the 28th. Gulp I'm going to be officially stranded on the Island that is Lawwwwng. Kill me please!

So getting the new job is a huge blessing. Its a field I'm very familiar with, a role that I'm quite confident and I have a super awesome new boss that I love already. :)

Ironically, and when I say Ironically I mean stab me in the eye with a hot poker please after I start the job in 2 weeks I have to drive back to Boston to do a training for 3 days. ARGHHHHHH! No more driving!!!!

Other than more driving to and from Boston the main downside is that is in Jersey City which is a crazy 2+ hour commute in each direction. 8 years ago I commuted from LI to NYC and I gained 20 lbs. I am not really excited about this prospect.

On the other hand I will not see much of my parents so I'll be less likely to be arguing with them over their interfering nonsensical ways. I love them but being asked every day whether you're going to be home for dinner before you've even had lunch is beyond annoying!!!! grrr!

So there it is, things are better but still slightly awful.

Saw this and realized that with everything going on in the world I'm doin' ok.

I could be this asshole

I'm so over politicians cheating on their wives. This guy did it over Father's DAY!!!

His poor wife and kids!

One of my favorite shows is Kathy Griffin-My life on the D-List. Kathy Griffin is so obnoxious and gossipy I loooooooooooooooooooovvve her.

Anyway, this week she had a long sit down with Lily Tomlin, who I've always thought was a very cool chick. The interview was as hysterical and awesome like I expected. I did learn something unexpected (and in hindsight I'm kind of like umm DUH) is that Lily Tomlin is a lesbian.

With all the shit I read and hear why didn't I know that?

Also why do I remotely care?

Thirdly, is it wrong that I am now going through random actors and actresses from my childhood trying to figure out each of their "deals"?

Please don't misconstrue, I'm very supportive of the Gay community and for their rights (make marriage equal now bitches!) But despite my liberal leanings there will always be the sheltered Catholic girl in me still who finds unexpected/obvious outings fascinating.

This reminds me of the day in college when I realized the over-arching storyline of Three's Company was Jack pretending to be gay to be allowed to live with two women. I actually interrupted my roommate's studying to tell her what I realized and she was like, "um Thanks Tips.....did you know that the two ugly chicks in Bosom Buddies are actually men too?" Yeah, it was pretty embarrassing.

I guess in some ways its similar to my shock when I found out that Rick Astley was white after hearing him on the radio for a long time. Pasty white boys just don't sound like that!!! It was surprising, and yet it was bothersome that it was surprising or even something I was thinking about.


In my heart I hope that when things like sexuality or race or handicaps surprise me its analogous to me finding it interesting when I realize someone is Lithuanian like me or how surprised I was 9 years after meeting her I found out my sister in law is a good singer than some deep rooted prejudicial bullshit.

Argghhhh my head is spinning!

I'm going to quit while I'm ahead, file the sexual preference of Lily Tomlin under something that I probably should have known that really doesn't matter and mosey down to the Regal Beagle to wrap my head around all of this....
