I read the first two lines of this quote on my Starbucks cup and thought immediately, “It’s diversity! The next thing on this cup — clearly diversity. I’m reading your mind, unchallengingly inoffensive corporate-pandering Starbucks cup!”

Yep. It’s diversity.

And this — this is the front window of an HSBC on fiftysomethingth street. It says “This vestibule cannot be used as a thoroughfare.” What percent of the people for whom this message is intended do you think actually understand it?

Aww, New York Times, You Shouldn’t Have!

February 28, 2009

The spelling bee is in the New York Times!  One thing I love about being in the paper of record is bobby’s and my being referred to as “Mr. Blue and Ms. Dziura.”

Thanks, Stephanie Goodman!

“How About a Quickie?”

February 24, 2009

Wow, I totally missed blogging about my appearance in this article when it was published in May, 2008.  Some people took the assignment seriously.  Me (and The Onion), not so much.

Fun Fact: I am Obsessed with Medical Curiosities

February 24, 2009

If you know me well, you know I really never tire of medical curiosities.  Fetus in fetu?  I’m there.  Conjoined twins?  I totally agree that photographers shouldn’t follow around private citizens … which is why I was so delighted that they made a documentary.  The two-foot-tall pregnant woman?  OMG!   So now … I would like you to enjoy kittens with facial duplication and cyclopia.

This is what I do all the time that I’m on the internet but not blogging.

From Socrates to Sartre, the greats of Western thought are empirically, profoundly, and unquestionably hilarious. Comedian (and Williamsburg Spelling Bee maven) Jennifer Dziura knows this is so, and now that she’s left the confines of Ivy League philosophy classrooms she wants to enlighten everyone!

Some Ways I’ve Thought of To Express My Genuine Dislike of Wire Hangers Without Sounding Like a Classic Film Harpy

Some Ways I’ve Thought of To Express My Genuine Dislike of Wire Hangers Without Sounding Like a Classic Film Harpy
by Jennifer Dziura

  • full.jpgCould you please not use any wire hangers? Thank you.

  • You know what I don’t like? Wire hangers.

  • I really enjoy hangers that are made out of any substance except wire.

  • If you have a hanger that is made out of wire, could you please leave it outside? Thanks.

  • Would you like to read my online dating profile? Right here, it says that I like croissants, reading, and long walks. It also says that I dislike stovepipe hats, pigeons, and wire hangers. Just saying.

  • You know what movie I really identify with? The one where that woman with the domineering eyebrows finds some wire hangers and beats her adopted daughter for using them. No, I’m not really sure why that scene works for me.
