NYU...

Cait's nyu protest demands include forgiveness of her undergrad debt, totally free grad school, a pony, all the rich kids to stop whining, & more mystery concerts!





NYU students are currently doing a protest, in Kimmel. They got vegan meals delivered from NYU. I went to NYU. I'm getting a masters from NYU now. They've never given me free anything and I never once barricaded myself in a dining hall. AND they had a dance party! I totally want to have a protest for the above demands somewhere less flashy, say upstein or the 2B lounge.

While I did my reading on all sides of this situation, I think you just need to see it all for yourself...

Here's what you need to know:

So my TV broke the day before I left for Canada. No sound. It's still pretty sweet because the picture works and I get to pair music of my choosing with the shows I'm watching.

Currently: Scrubs with The Curtana Veil (our friend Ryan Kanterman's awesome band...check em out!)


Oh year Happy New Year! It doesn't feel like 2009, I mean I guess when I have to write out the date when I get back to work it will. I rang in the New Year in Canada so it didn't really feel like a brand new year even though there was an awesome fireworks show and lots of booze. I missed the ball drop! But I did get to see the most depressing movie ever when I returned to American- Benjamin Button. So good, but I have never cried so much in public without being wasted. So yeah Happy '09! I resolve to be less nice, get a talent or some awesome party trick and do my dishes so I dont have to keep buying stuff--williams-sonoma is pretty expensive.

so this is christmas...

I am in grad school.

This means that I have finals and papers and blah blah blah. So what am I doing? Nothing really.

I have senioritis. After only one semester of grad school. Awesome. Hi-Five.

Since finals week is approaching Im obviously not staying in to study. Today is no different...boozie and I discussed where in the world is Chuck Bass and how The Hills is similar to our lives. (Ohhh Justin Bobby...) Which is probably only true because its full of drama and hookers.
Then I decided to cheer myself up by watching a bunch of TrueBlood and Life & Times of Tim-- also full of drama and hookers.

Never heard of Tim? Oh no! That's not cool. Check it out below...

So Catherine Tate is hilarious. This clip was made for me.



side note: there is nothing wrong with being a ginger...

new career ventures

I've always been interested in writing a book, and i've recently been inspired by New York City tourism.

the book shall be entitled... "I Don't Care If You Don't Speak English, Tip Your Mother Fucking Bartender".

Now while my writing interests have always leaned towards fiction, i intend this book to be more of a guide book/etiquette manual.

here will be some excerpts:

"fifty cents will never be an appropriate tip, for anything, anywhere. Especially when coinage was not given as change in the first place"

"Just because Stella Artois is a shitty overpriced beer, and the only beer we have that your are familiar with, does not mean i work for free."

"I see your little guidebook underneath your little phrase book. so while you humor me with broken English, know that i know, that every guidebook made about America stresses gratuity as a social custom. So tip me you sly motherfucker, i get what your doing. I've seen Waiting. I'm not stupid"

"You cannot just ask for "a beer". We have a lot of them. Tell me a flavor. Ask me what i recommend. "a beer", really isn't helping me. Especially when i serve you that beer, have to ask you to pay for it repeatedly, and then you stiff me. Go drink "a beer" somewhere else. Preferably somewhere that doesn't accept tips so they don't go through the same anguish."


Apparently all those cute little guidebooks that tourists carry around are not appropriately equip to keep them from getting forked in the eye by their bartender. I shall rectify this situation.

So here is the JT/Beyonce skit from SNL!
PS The real Beyonce video is actually really sick.

sexy back...

SO I've wanted to be on SNL since I was like 3 years old. I wanted to be Gilda Radner and be the funniest person alive...so I went to comedy camp as a kid. Super nerdy.  Muffin joke? Yeah, it is pretty funny but not as funny as Paul Rudd's SNL last night...I wish all the clips were up. The Paul, Justin and Beyonce dance was amazingg. When its up, I will put it up! 

JT coming back was the cherry on top of the f'ing rad episode. I used to be so/so on my feelings for Justin but this solidified the love...
