On The Way We Quit Internships Now: With a Bang
My internship was a summer of 40 hours weeks as an unpaid office assistant at an independent production company trying, and failing, to get a feature made. I learned how not to run a company, and that complaining to my boss about his writing partner staring at my breasts led to a discussion of my breasts, not the end of such behavior.

On Understudies! The Technicolor Grace of 'Godspell'
This, oh this, is why I love your writing so much Richard. From a fellow weirdo who found refuge with the drama geeks, thank you for saying it better than I ever could have done.

Except now we have to get it from the parents and the kids. Luckily we're too apathetic to care.

On The Boomers Agree: The Lazy Millennials Want To Be Jobless
Seriously. We've been fucked by the Boomers for decades. I thought getting one of us in the White House might finally get them to STFU. Nope. Can't they just retire already. Wait, then we'll have to read a zillion stories about retirement. Boomers don't think the Millennials are entitled, they're just annoyed they're stealing their schitk and grabbing all the attention away from them.

On English Land Barons Dig Moats To Prevent "Gypsy" Invasions
I know this too! I learned it touring some National Trust property with an aunt, I think. Always loved the term and will build one as soon as I have some land. Hmm, wonder if a ha-ha would keep the neighbor kids off the lawn?

On Yup, This Really is the World's Worst 911 Call
Not that it is anywhere near this level of awful, but when I ran into a strange man in my apartment in the middle of the night when I first moved to LA 10 years ago, I called 911 after he ran away (I think my screaming worked), and said, "There's a strange man in my house!!!" to which the 911 operator replied, "Ma'am, do you know the man?" I think I actually said, "NO! That's why I said he was a strange man!" It did not really get better from that point.

On Real Nerd Talk: 'Doctor Who' Goes Psycho Off the Rails
I love him so much. I finally came around to Tennant, but he was no Eccleston. The profile on that man, it does things to me. Rather liking the new kid, oddly enough.

On The Most-Stolen Books At McNally Jackson
I stole a book once. I was a toddler and didn't know better. My parents went back and paid for it. Still have it somewhere, book of fairy tales.
