Kitty cuddle season continues. 🐱

While sorting through old papers, I found a copy of the first cover letter I wrote out of collage.

I was trying to score a writing gig, and knew absolutely nothing about anything. I walked around NYC in a suit and handed out this cover letter and a resume with can’t-not-hire credits like, “wrote for my collage paper” to doormen at The Daily Show and Late Night and places like that. I tried to mask my inexperience with a funny cover letter, which, like Carmex on a blister, only servered to highlight it.

The whole thing was, of course, phenomenally ineffective. On the plus side, only several people openly laughed in my face.

The cover letter did give me a chuckle now almost twenty years later, so I’ll take that as a personal win.

Here’s the letter transcribed in its entirety.

To Whom It May Concern:

Please give me a job. I have recently graduated college with an English Degree, and am currently living in a cardboard box. I would like to purchase some duct tape to waterproof said cardboard box, but in today’s unstable economy it runs as high as $4.00, which is well outside my budget. If you could give me a position paying between twenty and thirty dollars a year, it would really help me out. Obviously, I would prefer a job paying at least $100,000.00 a tear, as I could by a lifetime supply of duct tape. Please respond as soon as possible, as the box is getting rather mushy.

Enclosed is my resume. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Christopher DeLuca

Sunning butt to butt. 🐈🐈‍⬛

I may like my code editor a lot. #neovim

Got these dope foil local magic the gathering stickers. Now, where to put them…

Good evening, it’s Kitty o’clock. 🐈

Podcast wrapped.

Fun little wrapped project for Github.

Saw TV on the Radio yesterday night at Webster Hall. Great, great show. 🎵

I continue to live that #1 slanket life.

I’m getting into a new look.

My shitty photo of improv legends I saw the other night. They’re mostly in LA so felt special. All killer no filler.

Saw my roommate’s band Faith/Void play a fundraiser for Astoria Food Pantry. Great turnout and raised a lot of money. Give if you’re feeling it! 🎸

Reminder that Yakety Sax is over four minutes.

Got this the other day. Is it…Santa?

Capturing the mood.

Astoria Park was really nice yesterday.

Yeah, I’m just peeping bridges.

This one almost feels abstract with the geometric symmetry.

Friday was Cat’s Cradle’s last show of the year at Player’s Theatre. Thanks to everyone who came out show after show to see us, we had an amazing run. Looking forward to next year!

It’s the first day of early voting in New York City, and the turnout was healthy. I waited in line about a half hour, which I was happy to do.

If you haven’t noticed, our democracy is on the ballot. Proud to have voted for Kamala Harris. 🇺🇸

Lower Manhattan.

I kind of like how this looks vibrant and interesting, but as you look closer you see all these gasoline-spill digital artifacts in the shadows.
