Erin Dailey is a freelance writer and Web designer who also happens to have the best damn day job in the world. She moved to New York City last year and would like you to know that she’s already becoming one of those insufferable New Yorkers who thinks that no place else in the world compares to the Big Apple. Yes, she’s already totally annoying. When she’s not pretending that she’s super cool, she covers the TV show “Heroes” on Television Without Pity (www.televisionwithoutpity.com). She’s not fond of doctors, but if her internist looked even remotely like McDreamy, she’d start exhibiting signs of hypochondria and FAST.
