FIPS ToDo's

*Bemoan the fact that I'm not actually talented enough to create anything worthy of submission to the BKLYN DESIGNS 2009 exhibition competition, and then encourage all of your asses to. They just extended the deadline, yo! (OTBKB).

*Bah humbug, or Brookyule? (happy Channukah!) Send in your best holiday/seasonal pics to GL pronto (Gowanus Lounge).

*While you're at it, email the peeps at NY Mag (reasons@nymag.com) to tell them all the reasons you lurv NYC. The best submissions will make it into their Dec issue (Daily Intel).

*Go to costco? We're totally out of diet coke. I've gotta card...anyone wanna exchange a ride over there for entree into BK's finest discount establishment? (right here, right now).

*Kiss my 401k goodbysies (Didja hear? We're in a recession) (Daily Intel).

*Dream of a time when I can afford to do shit like this again: oh, how I would love to go paperless (ed note: why the eff is it so damn expensive, tho??) (Pixily).

*Whine about my "quality show fatigue:" Mad Men! Gossip Girl! Celebrity Rehab! It's sooooo haaaaard! (Buzzfeed).
