IT’S A CYNICAL, CYNICAL WORLD
STATUS: Taking a break.
FAVE LINKEY POO RIGHT THIS SECOND: This video on the history of Lolcats. I heart Lolcats so much. I’m obsessed.

I can totally imagine seeing people wearing these on the subway in New York.
I heard a joke a few years ago that in L.A. you can ask any random person — your waiter, a traffic cop, your accountant — “how’s the screenplay coming” and be virtually assured you’ll get a response.
In New York, it depends on who you ask but it could be “how’s the novel coming?” or “how was your audition?” or maybe generically “how do you like your agent?” Maybe these shirts would help figure out who’s who?
For what it’s worth, I bet your next draft will by dy-no-mite!
