    By mysterylectric on August 31, 2009, at 12:35PM PST i can't say the first couple of lines of this aren't incredibly enticing (the wingman for wain and the hair stylist for grace), but 2000 miles, no place to live in nyc, and bills keep me from applying at present...

    but i'll keep working on everything in the "general responsibilities" and "about you" section in preparation for when that day will come. oh, and it will come my friend, it will come. oh to dream, the impossible dream...
