MLISA is totally a non-profit org*, right?
FUNDRAIZING UPDATE!!!!
Because Caroline and I are such loving martyrs we decided to offer up our hard-earned (or fan donated) taco money to educating future generations of youth on the many awkwardnesses of life….Also our taco drive coincides with the renewal of this site.
So! We’re almost there!!! We only need 7.72 to go, and then you, precious reader get an entire YEAR of mlisa...

NPR is the worst! An Unemployed review!
Like most freelancers, I tend to wake up around 12 and start “working”. This usually allows me to listen to the end of Brian Lerher Show, Leonard Lopate, and sometimes Soundcheck/Fresh Air if I’m really productive and haven’t gone to take a nap/download movies.
Today’s show is terrible! They have this terribly nerdy woman, Patricia O’Connor talking about...
I'm Moving to LA...
Ugh, New York has been having some kind of Evil Cold Snap this week and I am about ready to kill myself. I do not like being cold. I do not deal well with being cold. And my apartment helpfully has only one out of two radiators in working condition. I wish that I could call in cold to work. Today I had to run a million errands for my job that involved walking outside a lot and I was about ready to...

"She Died Out of Spite"
I love the idea of doing things out of spite so much that when I die, I want my headstone to read “she died out of spite” so anyone who looks at it will be like “yeeesh” while they slowly back away.
So anyway, my sister who is 90% useless did something great. Oh wait, first a story about my sister. This weekend she had to copy a set of keys and she was making a big deal...
When knitting is not ironic.
I went to my mom’s knitting group. They’re called the “Knit-wits.”
HILARIOUS!
First off, the meeting starts at 9, but no one gets there till 9:45, because “You can’t rush walkers.” They shuffle in (slowly) and all take their designated seats, and you can tell that they have been sitting there since Vanna White was first hired.
The first order of...
New Yearz Rez's
I have two New Years resolutions, and they kind of work together…
1. Drink Coffee like a normal person
2. Stop sleeping till 1 pm.
Unfortunately once I start working on #1 I’ll end up awake till 7am, and sleeping till at least 3. So that will be over pretty quickly. Self Improvement- aborted.
What’s your resolutions caroline?

NYT bets on funny as it's headline.
This is an amazing story by Dexter Filkins, an acquaintance who I’m guessing has some down time.. or is trying to parlay a day off into a human interest piece. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/03/world/asia/03afghan.html?hp
