I got a fucking bike. And I RODE it. I've learned that this fact is impressive to no one save me, but shit. I am impressed. I started small-- riding down quiet tree-lined one-way streets in Central Square-- until I said to myself "FUCK. My irrational fear of riding a bike in the city is kind of...irrational. If I so desire, I can, right now, ( Read more... )

I had a birthday! 24 in an ongoing sequence. And then the next day America had a birthday, and that was pretty fun too. On both days I ate myself stupid and drank many bottles of beer. I also came to the conclusion that Addis Red Sea is my favorite restaurant in the Boston metropolitan area and that Hakim Stout is one of the most delicious ( Read more... )

I have a friend named Andy. Andy is unemployed. Andy also came up with a pretty great idea for a t-shirt that if you are from or have ever lived in Massachusetts you are sure to love. Go here, buy a shirt, save Andy from the brink of ruin and formally declare your hatred for those MASSPIRG fuckers.

Essentially, Julianne Moore plays a wealthy suburban housewife who becomes increasingly "allergic" to, basically, the 20th century. She gets a nose bleed while having her hair permed, vomits after smelling her husband's (ably played by ( Read more... )

I came to a realization the other day that for me, at this particular time and stage of my life, it's kind of worth it to buy expensive shoes. Now, when I say shoes, I am not including heels or otherwise coquettish fancy-dress things, which I wear maybe once every eight months for a maximum of five hours a shot. I mean shoes, real shoes, that I ( Read more... )

I think that today I ate one of the most perfect sandwiches I've had in several months. It brought me back to how joyful an experience it can be to eat a simple sandwich, made with simple but wonderful ingredients. I feel like the official stance on sandwiches these days is that more crazy, herb-infused crap = superior. Not so! I myself have ( Read more... )
