Stuff In My House

Guess what?  I got a digital camera for Christmas.  This is good news for you. 
So here is where I admit that I grew up in the mother of all Suburbia’s.  I am at my parent’s house now and I was just looking around and realized that a lot of the things my parents own are… [...]

How is it bad for my heart if I’m in love with it?

1) In case you haven’t heard:  it’s snowing in New England.  Like, a lot.  I had a sweet snowed-in weekend that involved several movies, lots of hot chocolate (with generous shots of Baileys dumped in) and the entire first season of Dexter.
2) I just had a harrowing day that involved waking up at seven, driving [...]

Black Pete

Little known fact about me: I lived in The Netherlands for four months in college.  It was awesome.  I backpacked around Europe.  I studied art.  I smoked pot.  Drank a lot.  Had a great time.
OK back to the present.  At Not-My-Real-Mom’s (NMRM) Ugly Sweater party on Saturday, there were two Dutchmen in town on business [...]

TF wins a prize

I have exactly two minutes left in the day to post this:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TF!!!!!!
Seriously, blogland, how much do we love TF? 
Alltogethernow:  SOOOO MUCH.
Here is the best drunken statement I have ever witnessed anyone speak and it just happened an hour ago:
[Scene: Leaving the second bar from TF's birthday celebration night and we are hugging Shorty [...]

I currently have no soul

Sorry I can’t update right now.  I have spent the last 8 hours applying for every job under the sun/writing emails to all my contacts telling them I am on the market/rewriting my resume/writing an article that I am going to try to freelance out.  The level of decent writing involved with all of that [...]

But I only want to kiss one

Unless you want to read over my resume that I’ve been working on all afternoon (snore), I don’t have very much to update.  Here are some things:
1) The Ugly Sweater Party was a ball o’ fun, but NotMyRealMom wasn’t feeling well (sad) and when I am left to entertain myself apparently I think it is [...]

Holy Crap I’m Sorry!

So I’m just sitting here at Mom’s getting ready for The Ugly Sweater Party when she admonishes me, “You didn’t post any Rugbyism’s like you promised… not even the best one of all.”
… CRAP!!  I’m sorry!  How neglectful.  I mean, I had a pretty good excuse to forget, being unemployed and all, but this was [...]

It’s a start

Hi kids!  Uncle Beth is back… did you miss me?
OK, I know I only checked out for like a day, but it felt like longer.  I had to have this requisite period of drinking too much, eating fatty fat foods and sleeping a lot.  Yesterday I actually went to bed, woke up, took a nap, [...]

Official Press Release

I just sent this e-mail to all my peeps.  It should tell you all you need to know.
Friends and Family,
I just wanted to let you know that I was laid-off from my job today.  I know a lot of you had me in your thoughts and I wanted to let you know as soon as [...]

Any minute now

1) Rugbyism of the day: Sitting on the couch talking to Mom after the bar/before bed.
Rugby: Oh, you live in Cambridge?  Oh man I hate that place.  Cambridge Center sucks.
Mom:  There is no place called “Cambridge Center”.
Rugby: Oh, I mean Cambridge Square.
Mom:  That place doesn’t exist either.
Rugby:  Oh, I mean Cambridge Square Center.
Mom:  …
Rugby: ::blank [...]
