A sense of recession

[aliwilliams]

I try to explain to my parents, non-New Yorkers, etc. just how bad the economic downturn has hit the media world. But to get an idea, I just had my tenth friend get laid off from a newspaper/magazine editorial job. And I do have lots of friends, but not that many. Counting folding publications, that number goes up to almost 20 (although that goes back a couple years).

Suuuuuucks.

But on a happier note, everyone seems to want to go skiing of late. Yay skiing! Everyone should!
