Waiting for the bus in Harvard Square last evening, I was getting more and more aggravated until I started talking to a middle-aged Irish woman who put it all in perspective. She said that sometimes bad things happen to prevent even worse things from happening (or something along those lines). So maybe if my car hadn't gotten towed, I would have ( Read more... )

My Celtics tickets are $30 each, which is reasonable. I have every team in the East once and every team in the West every other season. For some reason, I decided at the beginning of the year to purchase the second Cavs game because LeBron James is, well, King James. But when you buy tickets for individual games, the same seats as mine are $96.50, ( Read more... )

So, Blender magazine was on my list of addresses to change when I moved, but I went to their web site and couldn't find any phone numbers or anything. When I went back to my old apartment to take the last of my stuff and meet the guy whose girlfriend is going to sublet my room, I discovered that Blender has gone out of business and they had sent me ( Read more... )

If you ever get a mortgage, don't get it through Bank of America. They are morons, and they are fucking up my life. I have been so angry for the past three days that I can barely function. I feel like my head is going to explode ( Read more... )

So, I had my inspectin on my condo last night, and it seemed to go pretty well. I have to go over the report with my realtor since I don't entirely understand everything in it, but the inspector said it was in good shape. He was hilarious and entertaining, so I didn't pay as much attention to the nuts and bolts as I should have. He was this Irish ( Read more... )

I seem to be missing the shopping gene. Maybe it's just that I hate spending money. Or maybe it's that I'm impatient. Being 40 pounds lighter would certainly make clothes look better on me, too... Anyway, I was looking for a new interview suit for weeks without success. I tried Macy's, Lord and Taylor, and even *shudder* Frugal Fannie's. It's like ( Read more... )

2008 was a pretty crappy year. Besides my softball team winning the city championship and Barack Obama being elected president (neither of which I could have predicted) and being a part of E+A's awesome wedding, there weren't too many good things about 2008. I guess the only other positive thing about 2008 that I can think of is my blog. I've ( Read more... )

I got a check yesterday from BlogHer for the ads I run on my blog. Woo! I am officially a professional blogger! So, yes, in case you were wondering, BlogHer actually pays you. Hooray!

I <3 Obama, but I was not impressed with his performance last night. It's not good if a die-hard Democrat like me thinks the debate was a tie. I'm not saying that McCain did well, though. Neither of them impressed me. They both said the same words that they said in the first debate. The format is partly to blame. The organizers should have chosen ( Read more... )

There is a seriously hot fireman outside my building on a detail. I did not want to come back inside after lunch ( Read more... )
