the a.r.w. recommends and Other Musings
There is a new phrase that has been buzzing around like a mad, honey-crazed bee…..”Quarterlife Crisis.” Being that I am literally in the midst of my own “Quarterlife Crisis,” I feel particularly adept at writing about it. Although I wonder, every day, if I am actually just suffering from my own conditioning. I am not depressed. In fact, I may not even be in need of medication. And so, I begin to consider the possibility that this is, indeed, a 
“Quarterlife Crisis.” The rumors are true, dear reader, it exists.
So, what do we actually do in a Quarterlife Crisis? Do we turn to our blog, determined to “make something?” Do we enroll in classes and pursue a master’s degree? Do we get a good-paying-job-that-isn’t-all-that-enjoyable until we figure out what we really want?
I have no idea what i really want.
On that note, the a.r.w. recommends a semi-new web-series, from the guys that brought you My So-Called Life (Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick): Quarterlife. Originally, the “show” was released in thirty-six “episodes” — each episode was anywhere from seven to ten minutes long. There was even a regular “time slot” — new episodes aired once a week. Eventually, the show got picked up by NBC. It was canceled after one episode. Now I’m not saying that you can compare Quarterlife to My So-Called Life, but I watched all thrity-six episodes. Go figure.

so did i…and i got addicted. and now im sad theres no more episodes.
ok i can’t wait to watch this!
I think I’ve had three quarterlife crises in the past four years. I like to think I’m inbetween meltdowns right now.
Well at least withholding from the next
Also, I think quarterlife was originally an internet show. I think. It might still be in production for online shows if so.
I haven’t watched Quarterlife yet, but I really want to find the episodes. I LOVED My So Called Life.
I went through (am going through?) my quarterlife crisis as well. I read the book of the same name which didn’t help. Reading stories of other people going through the same thing is comforting, however it doesn’t give you any answers. Maybe there aren’t any answers. Maybe a blog really is the best thing!
