On Why Won't Anyone Hire Me?

@clairapluie I'm not necessarily looking for a new job now, but I'm curious to see what's out there/comparable in the LA area. If you don't mind, could you send me a link to the job posting, if available? Sorry, don't know how to PM here! My email is pearljchoi at gmail. Thanks!

On How to Stop Going into Credit Card Debt for the Sake of "Points"

I've had a lot of success with points cards, paying for a lot of trips for myself and an upcoming Thanksgiving trip for me and my parents. I think what's necessary is to really gauge your own spending ability before getting a card (especially for initial rewards). There is also a thing called MANUFACTURED SPEND, which is a big deal in like, the Flyertalk community, in that you rack up a lot of "purchase" on your card, but monetize that purchase.. it could be something to look into if you wanted to keep the points going.

On Area Man Goes to Drugstore

The one that recently opened in Hollywood has a sushi bar and a fresh juice bar, on top of everything mentioned in this article (except maybe not that women's beauty nook). NOT IMPRESSED

On Paper Luxury Goods

This is my kind of thread. LA people!: Pulp on La Brea and Lundeens in Culver City are very nice. I'm in love with Rifle Paper Co. stationery. I'm looking at a Ciak planner for the future. Paper so nice.

On Wait You Don't Watch Hulu for the Commercials

I don't have Hulu Plus because i can't stand the idea of there being commercials for something I pay for, especially movies and British shows. I couldn't abide watching Wild Strawberries or something and having it interrupted by a 5 Hour Energy ad.

On Someone Design These Women Some Clothes

Once, while browsing Opening Ceremony's fashionably sparse racks in LA, I heard a salesperson say to another, "Do you think the sizes we put out are too aspirational"? Many chuckles were had by my friend and me.

On I Thought Socialized Medicine Was Soooo Great, But Now I'm Like, "No Thanks"

It's incredibly unfair to make sweeping generalizations about not only the NHS, but socialized medicine in general, (both of which have helped millions of people), based on your anecdotal evidence of its use as a foreigner.
