I've been skulking around the offices for a couple days now, but it's about time to come out of the shadows. My name is Drew and I'm your new editor and deal with it, I'm not going to smile in pictures because I have sort of feral teeth (if you meet me in person you'll see what I mean).
Here's a list of things that everybody should be keeping track of:
1. My former office and all around hysterical site 236.
2. The new season of Venture Brothers on Adult Swim.
3. Manhattan Specials: the best drink in the world
4. Goodbye Blue Monday: my home away from home in Bushwick.
You can occasionally find me updating my other blogs with non-media gossip at Videodrew, and Dopplehaters, which I edit with my friend Alli.
Think of me as your new nosy best friend. And feel free to send any tips my way: drew@jossip.com.
xoxo,
Jossip Girl
The New York Times officially alerts TimesSelect subscribers to inform them that the elitist and wholly unnecessary service they were coaxed into overpaying for has officially been terminated, effective immediately, and the subscription fees fully refunded automatically reallocated to the even less utilitarian Google Reader.
The full letter, after the jump.
At this stage in our lives, we're still utterly terrified of small children and invariably relieved that the screaming, crying and incontinent little things (who poop on planes and "spit up" on Daddy's lap) aren't ours. But should we ever change our minds and decide to have our own little bundle of joy, remind us not to contact Page Six for the birth announcement.
"AT LAST, A BABY FOR KELLY AT 50!" barks Page Six. "KELLY Klein is finally about to become a mother. Childless through her 20-year marriage to fashion czar Calvin Klein, Kelly, at age 50, is having a baby."
Or, put more succinctly: AGING SPINSTER BLESSES SURROGATE UTERUS WITH FUTURE POWER-GAY.
Jossip wants you to have a great life. We really, really do. So we've decided that, starting Monday, we will be bringing you quotes and prose designed to to inspire and motivate you into complete fabulousness.
No, we didn't think them up ourselves — we don't want you OD-ing on klonopin and champagne! The quotes will be pulled from a book that personally brought to us joy, hope, and shed new light on this crazy media business. Yeah, you can probably guess what it is, but, we're not actually going to tell you the title until Monday.
What we will give you, is a sample of the Table of Contents from what will undoubtedly become our Torah for the next couple months, at least.
The chapter titles, which are inspiration in themselves, after the jump. We know you're ecstatic, but you'll just have to wait two more days to get your first inspirational quote. Try to hold on.
