BlogCrush – Jen Kucsak
Every week I’ll be updating The Webb with a little ditty about my most recent blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them? These are most definitely folks on my blog roll, and if you are reading and subscribing to The Webb they should be on yours, too.
I learned about this week’s #blogcrush when a post of hers was featured on the front page of Brazen Careerist last April. The post, All My Friends Are Getting Married, And I’m Just Getting Drunk, seriously made me LOL at my computer. And not enough moves me to actually do thing in computer speak outside the screen, let alone type it. But Jen Kucsak’s blog “The Dating Jungle” has always provided me at least a chuckle if not a full on laugh-out-loud giggle that makes people look at me like I’m a crazy person.
Jen is sorta like a Carrie Bradshaw-esque writer, bringing the shenanigans of her own life alive for the world to enjoy. I gotta say, that’s one of the most endearing and entirely amusing things about her blog. Reading through some of the stories, you feel like you are watching your favorite girl-powered comedy unfolding. Laid off from her job as an associate producer at a pretty prestigious daytime talk show, Jen picked up and hauled on out to LALa-land (as my friend the musician who lives out there calls it) to pursue a career as a writer/executive producer/world-famous-star of what I’m sure will be a hilarious movie or sitcom based in part on her life*. In the meantime, if I’m reading things correctly, she might be the Broom in the upcoming The Sorcerer’s Apprentice?!
I love the stride Jen seems to take her life in. She has some of the strangest stuff happen to her (seriously, she has an entire tagged category called “Weird Shit That Only Happens To Me“) but her good nature and sense of humor overcome even the least funny of situations. For a site originally intended to tell stories of her dating adventures, it has grown into so much more. Anything that involves her well meaning Jewish New York City mother are pretty hilarious as well. Regardless, I devour her new posts in my Reader, they are amazing!
So if you are looking for a hilarious blog about a “starving” screenwriter/actress/producer/hilarious New York City refugee and Hollywood trendsetter on a site where life & love are anything but ordinary, check out The Dating Jungle.
* Jen – When you write about this in your movie, could you please find some super hot actress to play my character? I’m thinking Salma Hayek, even though I am the furthest from a gorgeous Latin woman that exists. But you know, it could happen…in Maine…yeah…just find a pasty white Irish chick and we’ll call it a day. *sigh*
