Some of you may be asking: oh my Julie, why hast thou forsaken me?  You might resentfully assume I’m off living the lush life as a famous-writer-in-waiting, partying in Williamsburg, accepting and tearing up my regularly faxed Ben-Lo wedding invitations and gradually going Republican.  Not so.  Rather, I’m spending a lot of time waiting for my life to begin.  I am still a secretary, which is beginning to really get me down, if you can believe it.  I am also eating like a fucking vegan with a wheat allergy and a weaknesss for skinless boneless chicken breasts, and I would like to say to you all now that while I have always found vegetarians a bit silly, since I have been eating like one my contempt for them is boundless.  Jesus, what a boring, sad life it is.  Wouldn’t be so bad, if you’d just throw in some fucking bacon.   Or a steak. Speaking of, I did manage to get to Peter Luger for my father’s birthday.  Now that’s food.  And afterwards we partied in Williamsburg, but only a little. What else?  Oh, yes, I have been riding the subway a good little bit.  Oh my fucking Christ, you should have seen the fit I threw when the G train quit on us the other weekend.  Riddle me this – how is it possible that the largest metropolitan transit authority in the world has managed to work things so that is has absolutely NO accountability?  There is nothing that I nor my diminutive outer-borough brethren can do – no one we can petition to, no money we can pay, no one we can shoot, even – that will make the slightest improvement in our commute.  What other organizations could get away with that in this Jeffersonian Democracy?  I mean, other than the presidential administration? So – will Julie indeed become a literary lion on the scale of Bill O’Reilly?  Will she get a movie deal with the guy that produced Shaft?  Will she be gunned down in a blaze of glory while trying to immolate the R train?  These are all questions that remain to be answered.  In the meantime, take a look at some preliminary Julie/Julia findings by our resident cyber-researcher….  Oh, and sorry about not posting on September 30th, thereby fucking up that oh-so-reliable Radioland software.  Here’s the link to September…. 7:03:05 AM    comment []
