Obligatory Introductory Post in which Objectives are Stated


My name is Justine, and I am an unemployed hipster.  A recent graduate of NYU with a degree in Cinema Studies (yikes) and Creative Writing (double yikes), I am, unsurprisingly, struggling to find a job in the current Great Recession wasteland.  In a last ditch effort to save money, I moved home to Southern New Jersey, where I learned that, shockingly, film scholars are not in high demand.  I am a dutiful job hunter - I peruse the usual classified sites daily - but I quickly found that this took an absolutely all time maximum of three hours a day to complete.  

So what to do in the vast abyss of the rest of my day?

Read, Netflix, watch daytime reruns of Say Yes to the Dress.  I've sought solace in the best and worst that American culture has to offer and with no one to share my findings with except my two cats (who really have no appreciation for the finer things in life, with the exception of a well prepared swordfish steak), I've turned to the blogosphere to have my message heard, if only by my most devoted of friends.

So sit back on your couch and get nice and comfy in those sweatpants.  Let's commune together over our favorite things.  Because apparently, we have all the time in the world.
