Raising money for a 20 mile walk. Which I am beginning to feel really really stupid I signed up for. As it is in 2 weeks and I'm not sure I am physically capable of walking for 20 miles! Thus, the panic. I'm going to bring Zeppo. Which will be interesting... Aron isn't going to come, so he can always pick Zeppo (and me? Hope not!) up along ( Read more... )

OK OK FINE, BOSTON. YOU WIN ( Read more... )

Boston is such an utterly absurd place. Last year around this time we had a snow storm that started a little earlier than predicted. When every single person was leaving work early so they could get home before the snow. In the 6 hours I spent in the car driving 28 miles I counted 19 cars just abandoned in the road. And 4 snow plows. It was ( Read more... )

I am SO COLD. I don't want to move off the couch or put my laptop aside (it is like a little electric blanket, but way more fun). I need to go grocery shopping (this is the 5th day of really really needing to grocery shop) and Zeppo could probably take a turn outdoors. I have SO MUCH to get done today and I'm not looking forward to it. I do ( Read more... )

It is cold enough to finally get out the dance pads and play some DDR (seriously, after one round you're stripping down!). It has been close to a year but I still have it! YAY! My stamina needs some work though. Zeppo hasn't seen DDR before and went sort of crazy barking and yelping after he got underfoot (one does not break eye contact with ( Read more... )

So. Today my father is taking our beloved cat of 17 years to the vet to enter the land of eternal slumber. Kumo is pretty much the best cat EVER. We used to joke that he spoke Japanese. He is, in fact, a Japanese cat - we got him the last year we lived in Hiroshima and took him home with us. He meowed all the time at a very loud volume and ( Read more... )

I am being such a total procrastinator. I'm sitting on the couch watching a Sabrina the Teenage Witch rerun instead of sitting at the desk writing my take home midterm. This is my last class. Ever. And I have total senioritis. In a way, I think I'm celebrating one of my final opportunities to wait until the last minute and see if I can still ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to return to posting for a little while now, but in-person prompting from Allison and the return of the delightful choc_bunnyhead, here I am! Also, because I feel others should know that it has been raining the Boston area for what feels like 100 days, it is gross and dark, the dog woke me up 5 hours into sleeping (give me a ( Read more... )

Go Sox!!!
