The following will contain some gender stereotypes and some stereotypes in general. There aren't many folks on my friends list that are easily offended (the easily offended have already defriended me), but if you are offended by stereotypes, you can bite me and move on to the next LJ entry about the Watchmen movie or whatever else LJ entries are ( Read more... )

You know what kind of sucks? Licking the sugar off the side of your Dunkin Donuts cup only to realize that it wasn't sugar, but dirt ( Read more... )

So what's happened since my last post? Christmas has come and gone. New Year's has come and gone. MLK Day has come and gone. There's even a new president in office. There's a new Superbowl champion. The Jason Varitek era nearly came to an end...and then it didn't. New England has been hit with one of the coldest, snowiest winters in recent memory. ( Read more... )

Overheard in the punchin room at work - "When I see Santa, I'm gonna punch him in the fucking face". So, see...I'm not the only one that says that ( Read more... )

I don't feel like writing a real entry. I never do anymore. So here's a quick list of some of the things I've done in the month of November, in no particular order ( Read more... )

I was in Boston over the weekend. I finished off my vacation with a Halloween party on Friday night and a Bruins game on Saturday. The party was a bit blurry, but I do remember they didn't have any food other than a half eaten platter of crackers. I'm just used to the food being the star of any party I go to, because that's how my friends roll. The ( Read more... )

I haven't been annoyed with this election as I was with the last one. That probably has a lot to do with the company I keep these days and the lack of the "vote or die" ads this time around. Either way I am thrilled that today is finally hear. The campaigning, the ads, the idiots touting their candidate...it's all over today ( Read more... )

If I were some medieval guy who got zapped into the future by a wizard's spell (Hey...I saw it in a movie once...it can happen), there would be a lot of amazing things in our modern world. We have devices that can fit in your hand that play games, flash images, hold thousands of songs, and connect you to anyone in the world with a touch of a button ( Read more... )

I'm going to be a convict for Halloween. Why? Because it cost $23, there are no masks or annoying bits, and it took absolutely no work to put it together. I don't like dressing up for Halloween. I like the candy part, but the rest isn't all that much fun. So this costume is perfect. It doesn't get in the way and didn't require any work or thought. ( Read more... )

About a month ago I started to roll my coins. I knew I had at least $100 in my coin bucket so with that much free money I figured I could buy something decent. I rolled...and rolled...and rolled. And the change just wouldn't stop. $452 later my coin bin was finally empty. That's a lot of free money to play with! I'm about to do some Amazon shopping ( Read more... )
