01/05/2005 Archived Entry: "Dream Job"

Well, not EXACTLY my dream job, but I wouldn't mind doing what Whitney Matheson does at USA Today's website. From what I can tell, she keeps a daily "entertainment blog", where she just links to pop culture items throughout the day while snarking at the obvious, and safe, targets (duff, lohan, et al.), writes a weekly column about some entertainment topic and has a daily chat with her readers.

Or, if I were in resume writing mode:

collect pop culture articles from various sources and disseminate them through USA Today's web portal, this drives continuing and continous reader interest

present weekly opinion and analysis on chosen entertainment industry topics

interact with USA Today's readers to better gauge reactions to content and provide a personality to relate to

But like...I DO ALL THAT ALREADY!! She gets paid to do it..how unfair. She also gets to do the whole socialite thing when she gets sent around to awards shows, she even gets to go to comicbook conventions as part of her work...damnit.

I don't think that it's necessarily called a job. More like spending money on someone who has no potential to benefit mankind.

I can talk about pop culture, yah britney spears, she sucks yah! And did you see that movie, with the guy... yah that movie rocks. Yah...

Now where's my F*** money.

Well, she does provide me with hours of entertainment. That's worth something.
