Jezebel: Vacation

The Art Of Being A Third Wheel

Sarah Hall — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:00:00 EDT

Let me paint a little picture for you. You have just slogged through the hot, crowded streets to get to your office, you are sweating profusely, and you have about thirty douchey emails to answer. The phone rings, it's your mother. She is calling to inform you that you are being forced to spend a week at a remote location with your parents, your sister and her boyfriend. And by "forced," I mean she says, "it would be great if you could join us," which we all know really means, "If you don't join us you are in the doghouse for life." More »

Programming note: Although today is a half day for everyone here at Gawker Media, both Fine Lines and Pot Psychology will make their regularly scheduled appearances after the rest of us stop posting later this afternoon. As for Monday, all of us will be enjoying a much-deserved day off... except for Megan, who will be touching down in the Twin Cities and weighing in on the Republican National Convention intermittently throughout the day.

I Can Haz Honeymoon?

Anna Holmes — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 10:30:00 EDT

Okay kids, I'm outta here starting tomorrow. (Honeymoon, Hawaiian Islands, Australia, and hopefully, hugs from my favorite animal ever, the wombat.) Dodai, naturally, will be running the site in my 2-week absence, and, in addition to our regular staffers, guest bloggers Megan Carpentier and Sadie Stein will be on hand to help out. But here's how you can help: Send these ladies tips. I am a neurotic, obsessive asshole when it comes to checking our news feeds and, as the other Jezebels will be busy writing, the worrywart in me is concerned that they will miss something extra-spectacular. (Not that I don't.). So please, keep your eyes peeled and your email outboxes well-oiled and send the stories you think we should do to tips@jezebel.com. I'll see all of you on the other side of the summer solstice. More »
