Why You Frownin’, Baby?

After her boyfriend left her for their bike mechanic Atticus, and her trust fund ran out while in the middle of an impetuous pilgrimage to India, Yvette finally understand ten years after her 10th grade English class what being under the bell jar really meant.

Jamie figured that a day at Coney Island dressed as Hunter S. Thompson was just the creative stimulus he needed to finish his roman a clef.


During the company Christmas party, Sammy thought it would be funny to end his staff motivational speech with, “The guy wearing the $4,000 suit is holding the elevator for the guy who doesn’t make that in four months!
