jenny I am a venture capitalist, would like $4.5 million dollars? I was going to use it to order take-out tonight, but your idea sounds revolutionary.

has there been anything public about why the piece is no longer on the huff?

presumably she learned about how many people were mocking her?

or possibly the NYC government took down her money saving secrets to prevent the local economy from collapsing
― iatee, Thursday, 13 May 2010 14:22 (fourteen years ago) link
it makes sense that people have invested $4.5 million dollars in her company -- much like the bank bailouts, it always makes sense to give significant amounts of money to people to do things that they are absolutely the worst at -- sound strategy

the link to the article on her twitter now redirects to "FlickmationLite", a 12 frame flickbook iphone app.

man I should have invested my $4.5 million in that instead

I kindly proposed to my three girlfriends that we have a "potluck" dinner at my apartment, where everyone brought a different dish.
― iatee, Thursday, 13 May 2010 14:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Within minutes, I had donned my apron and found my inner Julia Child (Who knew I had one?), whipping up a delicious pasta dish at the stove
seriously, you are a horrible, horrible person

when you make food for yourself like twice a year you simply are not allowed to use the verb "whip up" to describe your cooking

Forty minutes later, the deliveryman arrived with my pasta primavera and a Greek salad and I handed him $32.50, including tip. Pretty steep for a dinner for one, I thought. I returned to my kitchen counter, brown bag in hand, and it was then that I had a moment: I reviewed my spending for the day and I realized that I had spent well over $80 over the course of the day on menial expenses
Why is it $22.50 and $60, respectively, in the cached Huffpo original?

putting "potluck" in quotes as if it's an utterly new or foreign concept is the worst thing in a whole page of really horrible stuff
― NARTH Gaydar (joygoat), Thursday, 13 May 2010 16:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean TECHNICALLY there's something k-classic about making a potluck/dish-to-pass item from only canned goods already found on your pantry shelves. Probably the most Amurrican thing she's ever done in her whole life.

No, pretty sure taking a cab to work every day instead of walking 20 minutes is the most American thing she's done.

so i was thinking about this as i was picking up some groceries right now and what actually kind of infuriates me the most is the concept that because you did not buy something that day it somehow cancels the fact that you bought it at some point? like congrats you stored a bunch of food in your house that you bought a while ago, wtg. your friend brought some wine--pretty sure she didn't whip that up herself. same reason buy nothing day makes me want to slay.

would be so lol if she fabricated this and made up a coffee brand

I do not understand this use of 'kindly'? (why yes i am also pissed off by people who use 'kind regards' on the end of emails - i really don't feel that 'kind' is an adjective you can appropriately use about your own behaviour)

still dunno what holder's house is after googling it, but I have added the word 'zarf' to my lexicon

i haven't been to nyc since i was 11, so can one of yall confirm this for me: did all your grocery stores get destroyed by the cloverfield monster? is that what happened? that's why people pay $26 for pasta primavera right?

Also, adding frozen peas to vodka sauce is disgusting, and I am well known for my questionable decisions regarding adding frozen peas to things I'm eating.

Just this morning, put on my apron and whipped up some breakfast by pouring myself a bowl of cereal, and adding a heap of frozen peas on top.

it's important to have something green at every meal: why not frozen peas?
