In my haste to post my weekend photos yesterday I neglected to mention that I finally got to see Shortbus this weekend! This is the movie written and directed by James Cameron Mitchell – the brilliant fellow behind Hedwig and the Angry Inch. I wasn’t sure what to expect…though I was fairly confident I would […]
This past weekend was chock full of meeting new people and going to new places. On Friday night, I got together with Randy and my friends, Jason, Bryan and Marin to play that card game I learned last week: Hands and Feet. We soon discovered, thanks to Marin, that this game is a derivation of […]
OK – I want anybody who reads this (whether you know me or not) to pipe in with your opinion in the comments section below. I’m completely frazzled. I looked at a condo in Somerville yesterday (my first time seeing it): Positives: walking distance to Porter Square subway, countless restaurants/shops in immediate area, 10-minute walk […]
I seem to be inflicting unnecessary stress upon myself lately. I’m not seeking sympathy at all because, generally speaking, the stressors are all good things. I just don’t have the ability to handle stress very well so I got overwhelmed quite easily. Obviously the biggest stressor is the condo search. It’s such a distraction – and we all […]
Walking to work this morning I saw a jeep coming my way (I was at a crosswalk so it’s ok). It had a sticker on the front window that went across the top. It was also upside down so I stared at it a bit trying to decipher what it said. Once I read it, […]
I had a very full weekend, looking back. On Friday night I got together with Randy and he prepared a home-made pizza for dinner and then we watched Party Monster on DVD. Oh! And he DVR’d Ugly Betty which is freakin’ hilarious! On Saturday, Randy and I went to the storage facility I’ve rented for […]
I’ve always pissed and moaned about how hyper-sensitive Americans are these days about things compared to when I was a kid. I mean, by today’s standards, I shouldn’t even be alive (no seat belts, mom smoked during pregnancy, rode bike without helmets). Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for seatbelts and safety. Despite (or because […]
No, I didn’t remove my swimsuit. But according to Dictionary.com, one of the definitions of au naturel is “in the natural state.” Yesterday, I took half of a personal day to take advantage of what could be the last sunny and warm day of the year. Randy was able to get the afternoon off so […]
She had some lists the other day, and now it’s my turn to be lazy and copy her…but with my own answers, obviously (if you’re interested in her responses, check out her blog: Vexed in the City). Seven Songs I love Right Now (meaning, not necessarily my favorite songs of all time…but stuff I can’t […]
I’m back to work today after a long weekend on the Cape. I had such a great time, too (the photo above is the view from our room)! My friend, Bobby, picked me up around 1PM on Friday (1/2 day from work…woo hoo) and we headed straight to the Cape. The rain/drizzle in Boston […]
