Week of 11/27: Further into the Abyss
Yeah, so on Tuesday I was supposed to have full writeups for each story. It's now Friday at 5:30 and I'm wondering where the fuck the week went.
*sigh*
First up: Modern Love. Raya Kuzyk's entry this week is a doozy. Breaking up with him via Powerpoint?!?! Dumb move. Read for the educational value.
Meet Market? Hah. Alan picked Alison, and they weren't compatible. Not much more to say there. So, maybe next week we can pick things up with some success? Don't bet too heavily on it. Katie, the lovely Columbia junior who's "sick of the college dating scene" (only halfway through it, mind you... maybe it's time she got that fake ID like all the other cool girls), has a selection of three guys who have no distinguishing charatcteristics, aren't very handsome, and seem to be kinda cheesy. Like an episode of Average Joe. Ah, young Katie, every college grad must spend a semester in Disappointment 101! But don't worry... I'm the TA, and I'll go easy on your grading!
Speaking of the Average Joes... Aaron plays games, acts aloof, and looks drunk already. Daniel is the Asian Jack Noseworthy (I've been waiting to use that joke all week! woot!) and seems to be the only person I've ever seen to recommend South Street Seaport for its dining. Gene? *yawn*
My money's on a cold date with Katie and Gene next week. Speaking of cold dates, notice how things always get worse for Meet Market over the fall and winter seasons? Maybe the Post won't take the winter off (not even as a service to journalism), but perhaps that's a hint to the rest of us that blind dates are like white: never after Labor Day! It seems even a bad date seems better in the summer, right? It's just wise not to go free range grazing until things thaw up a bit. Even so, remember that guiltless hookups are always in season.
