I wanted to watch the Red Sox - Yankees game last night, but most of my friends aren't really into baseball, so we ended up going to a sports bar that has karaoke on Wednesday nights. Perfect. I was all for multi-tasking, but they didn't start karaoke until after the game, which is understandable. But by that time, I was tired and ready to go to ( Read more... )

I won $40 again last night in a karaoke contest. Devora was awesome with "Magic Man," and I thought she should have at least been in second place, but the runner-up was a potato-esque regular.

I was going to have to go to the ATM before this weekend, but then I won a karaoke contest. It's not often that you go out drinking and actually make a profit.

Friday was a banner day for me. At work, I had the genius idea that since this weekend is shorter than most (damn you, Springing Forward), I should be allowed to leave early. My boss didn't protest when I bounced at 4:45. Then I went out to awesome Tibetan food with Michelle (who was visiting from NY, yay!), Ethan, Andrew, and Stephanie. We went ( Read more... )

I volunteered to help out at this wine expo that's going on in Boston right now because I figured I could get some free stuff and there would be the possibility to meet men. On top of that, I got two free tickets to the expo, which I didn't feel were worth keeping since they have a $70 face value ($85 at the door), so I sold them to some dude on ( Read more... )
