For the longest time I felt like if I started a book, I had to finish it. Who knows why, it's not like the author will find out. So, in the last year or so, I've started to just *put the book down* if I'm not enjoying it and release myself from any guilt / weird feelings, and start a different book. I've read more books since I've started to mark books "did not finish" and move on. If you like short fiction, I love Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine, and if you like short, heart wrenching memoir I love The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan

This is a Rec on how to stay sane, not how to get out, unfortunately. I have been (mostly) unemployed for like almost a year aside from short stints or gigs. itโ€™s been awful awful awful BUT AMC A List became my light at the end of the tunnel, truly. $25 a month for 3 โ€œfreeโ€ movies every week. I use it as a treat after trudging through applications or to have something to look forward to. And, yes, you can watch as many free movies as you want on your laptop in your room but having a place to go or a plan at the end of a grueling day is great.

New York's Hottest Club is....Film Noir Cinema's Thursday Night Film Club! On April 18th at 9PM I'll be showing a personal favorite film of mine at the greatest little theatre in the city, so come on down to 122 Meserole Avenue in Greenpoint. Tickets are $10 cash, $5 beers and $3 sodas, plus a myriad of pierogi joints nearby for you to grab a bite at beforehand.

Not the watered down version to save the other personโ€™s feelings. Not half of what you feel. Not the version that you know makes other people more comfortable. Not the version you wish was true. What you actually fucking feel. Terrifying! I know!

What more do I need to say!? I have so many weird match strikers in my eBay watchlist, you're now going to benefit from seeing them. I never thought the $148 he costs was in my budget, but a girl can dream! Wouldn't he look fun sitting on top of a pile of special books? Bonus: this guy has a chipped antenna, acting as a reminder that none of us need to be perfect to be loved.
