Hey guys. Sorry it’s been a while since we’ve blogged. I was busy studying for a big exam, and meanwhile Nick, who was going to keep up the MC during my hiatus, has been preoccupied trying to salvage his trust fund, after he found out that his family put their bottled water industry fortune into the hands of Bernie Madoff (a scandal that hit Jewish-faced people especially hard).
Tough times for everyone. Especially for bloggers who get most of their material from fetishizing the obscenely wealthy (not pointing any fingers -- except at you, Arts & Letters Daily. If that even is your name.) But the MC is back on its feet, and I think we’ve both emerged from this year a little stronger. Nick even wrote a cover song about it:
So in the spirit of the new year, the MC has made a few resolutions:
1) Go print! Now seems like the moment.
2) Spread a hot new slang word, or revive an old slang word. Last year’s campaign to bring back “crazy/beautiful” was such a success that it will be appearing in a New York Times “trends” piece any day now. (If any of you have a mom or dad that writes those pieces, give them a tip. I’m sure somebody’s mom or dad writes those.)
3) Use our status as citizen journalists to hold our more established peer publications to a higher standard of journalism, shine a light on corruption and increase the transparency of the political process, and incite the American reading public to participate more actively in this crazy/beautiful experiment we call democracy.
4) Join an all-women’s gym so we can feel comfortable with our bodies and workout the way we want to workout. (Exclusively groin thrusts and sidebody toning.)
2009 is the MC’s year! I can feel it.
