Sarah Lacy has a twitter, and it is slowly becoming the repository of all her whinging. What does she complain about? HER CHOSEN CAREER.

To be fair, she hasn’t been too annoying about it this week (maybe because she finally went to the doctor and got herself some dang drugs) but there are still the random wah wah writing is hard work moments:

bad news: chapter sucks. good news: i think i know how to fix it. #authorpain 4:34 PM Jan 22nd from web

techcrunch post i’m working on is making my head hurt. 🙁 3:56 PM Jan 23rd from web

time for my second pot of coffee and some book writing about 16 hours ago from web

I  mean…yawn, right? Golly writing is hard, my head hurts! I’m not saying writing isn’t hard. I listen to writer friends complain all day long about how they are blocked, or their last piece bombed, or how they’d rather being playing baseball with a raccoon than deal with their editor. It’s part of being friends with writers. But these people don’t post wah wah on their twitters nonstop – they don’t complain to their audience about how much work they do for THEM.

It might be because at the end of the day, most writers feel extremely lucky to be doing something they love while getting paid for it, even if it is sometimes tougher than other times. Most writers don’t act like they are doing their readers a favour by deigning to emerge from bed and pound out words that week. They don’t expect sympathy because they have to write when they are sick, and they don’t demand respect because they are a paid writer muas and you’re not. They just write and get paid and feel grateful for any modicum of success they get.

I’m sick of new media writers. Get off my internets and go back to your local free zine where you belong.

Another month, another chance to group egowank!

I know most of you attend the Obliterati pahty, because you are young, urban, new media superstars and OP is THE place to be. How could you want to miss this?!

Well I’m not going to let you. Get your vintage chucks and your american apparel hoodie with the ironic PBR stains, and head over to OP’s new location:

As most of you who have come to previous events know, we have outgrown the rather small capacity at Destination…We are happy to announce that the NEW LOCATION for the event is going to be “R BAR” located at 218 Bowery Street (Btwn. Prince & Spring)

So fkn popular, you don’t even KNOW! So many people want to join Peter Feld at a bar to get swag bags full of Geritol and Icy Hot and season 4 of “Murder She Wrote” on dvd that they had to find a new venue. And if you think that’s the only exciting news, wooboy hang on to your ass!

Thrillist will be raffling some awesome giveaways as well as providing a red carpet step and repeat, so great ready to have your photo taken!

Yes, randomtumblrwhores, you can show up and get your photo taken on a red carpet!OMFGWTFBBQTIONS!

I don’t understand why they don’t just put some bouncers at the door and turn away all the random tumblr tots and scenewhores that show up. Why are they not embarrassed that once a month they get together to celebrate themselves and fb invite the lower class wannabes in to validate them with their cooing and fawning? It would be an actual EVENT if they were selective about who they invited and let in. As it stands it’s basically like a tumblr meetup with more self-important swaggering.

Robert Scoble, arbiter of all things durrrr, covers his slips about as well as Meghan McCain on Jeopardy.  While we all respect and admire Scobie for his on-target insights into the tech world, we must remember that we all make mistakes and must sometimes correct them. With twitter!

Watching all the late night TV show issues with Conan and Leno. That would never happen on the web. Why? Unlimited supply. TV is dead. about 9 hours ago from web

The oracle speaks! TV IS DEAD! Throw out your tv and get on hulu! DEAD do you hear? Dead…oh ooops.

Whenever someone says something is “dead” it never really dies. It just means it is boring. Radio didn’t kill newspapers. TV didn’t kill rdo about 9 hours ago from web

Of course, on the web what’s really dead are TV-company executives. Here you don’t “program” media. No need for that. Less need for execs. about 8 hours ago from web

Ah, ok, back to our regularly scheduled Scoble! That’s not what he meant except he meant that but not what you think he meant, let him clarify!

thatgirlallison has finally broken her two week silence. In a post that embodies the sadness that is her blog, she talks about some guy she met at a halloween party and began dating. It apparently started off hot and fast:

From right off the bat, he told me how much he liked me and there was no question of whether or not I thought he was being honest.  He told me all the time that I was gorgeous and sweet, and I often baked for him.

The gentleman even left a toothbrush at her house, and after three weeks informed her that he wasn’t seeing anyone else, which is basically spanish fly to a girl like Allison. In an image you can store away for a later nightmare:

We didn’t sleep together until we were dating for a month and a half, and ended up only sleeping together once.

Well, after that the  guy detached and drifted off. Allison invited him to see Wicked – the offer every straight man in NYC is secretly hoping for from random blogger chicks – but she says, “he was going into work after that to catch up on some stuff and the mentioned that he was going to a party after.  He didn’t invite me.  That irked me.”

He then started ignoring her, and Allison spent a few weeks moping about her pink Craphole before writing him off. Who saw this coming???

Now it’s time for you to throw your bets in as to who the mystery man from the Halloween party was. What kind of man would strike strong and fast, and fade away after banging his latest tumblr triumph? What a mystery!

Are you looking for a job? Do you enjoy wearing tshirts from Goodwill, reciting Beastie Boys lyrics, and drinking beer, and can you do these things ironically? Then does Rachel’s Boyfriend David Karp have a job for you: Tumblr is hiring a webdev!

You will need the following hard to find sk1llz: PHP/HTML, SQL, js, CSS, command of lolcat language, and be a tumblr user.

If you are one of the 900 million high school students with this complicated skillset, apply here now!

@nicknotned Dentonnnn! I just told Gabriel, not leaving, just paring back. I am in LA for a few reasons, one hopefully for Geekosystem. So! about 3 hours ago from UberTwitter in reply to nicknotned

Continuing to be on the total pulse of Crap I don’t care about, that Gawker site that is basically a way to keep Blakeley on payroll has launched some “late night wars” section or something.

I reaize I am the only person in America who does not have any idea what all this is about beyond people tweeting TEAM COCO for the last week. Seriously I have no clue why we are talking about Jay Leno and Conan or what is going on, and I don’t care. I have a tv to play dvds on and thats it. So maybe this is a brilliant, internet changing tagsite and I just don’t see it, because I could give a Crap about NBC or Jay Leno a kangaroo while Conan saves children from an alien invasion or wtfever. Maybe to the rest of the world of completely invested in their late night crap people this is a wonderful development.

Maybe I’m just bortchy today and need to go to sleep already.
