Where I've Been

Wanna see where I've been? Check it out! I'll clean it up when I've got a few minutes. If you can remember any places I've been, send me a note so I can add it!

Bore Re Me

Yet again another Friday. And yet again, NOTHING TO DO! Ok, fine. I can do some stuff, but that's boring. I've talked to 2 Chris' and a Cris today on IM. I've called Megan & Farah and left messages. I've emailed back and forth with Erin, Sonia & Dawn. My weekend is all up in the air when originally I thought it was all planned out. The bagpipers are downstairs.

So...hmmm...I have Thursday and next Saturday planned. Tuesday...eh, IDK, we'll see. Alright, we'll I'm gonna pretend to do some more work, email some more, maybe make another call or two, we'll see.

Erin go BRAUGH

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY (and Evacuation Day too - Mass. residents)

The Subways...ROCK

I am addicted to all things The Subways. I bought their album as soon as it hit stateside. On Wednesday, I went to Newbury Comics on Newbury Street and saw them play acoustically three of their songs and then did some signing. I'll take some pics of what they signed of mine. You want to know? Ok, they signed my cd (not the booklet like every other wanker) and my discman. Yes, my discman. Charlotte liked the fact that I had to take my disc out of my discman, which showed that I actually have been listening to it.

After Newbury Comics, I headed to The Paradise on Comm. Ave to see them play. Both of these shows were free! The opening bands were really good. The Subways, however, were pure ROCK! See Billy at the left? That's how I felt that I should be, jumpin' like that 'cause they were awesome. Great stage presence, great music, great singing. Even though Billy was a little hoarse, he sang wonderfully.

Let me see if I can do what I read I could do. That would be great if I could. I don't have speakers so I wouldn't know if it actually worked. Let's see. If not, go out now...NOW and buy "Young for Eternity" by The Subways. I said NOW.

Sorry about your Sorry

I hafta mention this: Hershey’s Kissables candy coated mini Kisses look like pieces from the game Sorry. And don't have that plastic taste to them.

Yodel

Mmm. Forgot all about those tasty things until I just typed that. Mmm, yodels.

So, I'm a pretty lucky girl. Karma is my pal. "Earl", I believe in ya. I went to craigslist.org to post up some free Harpoon tix I had but didn't want to go and didn't want to waste them. I got a few responses but one intrigued me. And I took it. I gave away 3 Harpoon St. Patrick's Festival tix (valued $12 each), and will receive 2 Club seat tickets to a Celtics game (valued $110 - $192 each). Uh yea! Awesome, right? I've never been to a Celtics game. Or a basketball game. Or the old Garden. So, this is a real treat. And free, which is my favorite price for things.

Don't envy me. Be good. Karma. Pay it forward.

Best Day

Today's like the best day. I'm gonna see Lizzie. I'm gonna see Megan. I talked to my friend Adrienne in Philadelphia today. My coworker John was not in due to a doc appt. My boss Brian is in Barbados. My boss Bobby is not in today (unfortunately very ill). No one has really bothered me. I didn't hafta get all my work done by 2:00p like I thought I did, which is good 'cause at the moment, it's not but 'tis ok, 'cause I will still get the checks done and then we'll see what I end up doin' for the rest of the work day. Maybe sneak out a few minutes late so I can rush home and pretend to tidy up my room for Lizzie and Megan. We're ordering Pini's pizza, yum! And I might even be nice enough to share one of my prized possessions: coconut ice cream pops! Shhh...don't tell them about my coconut and pineapple ice cream though. I may share that with Megan if we hang out Saturday though.

Oh, and I found this cute quote from Jenna Fischer of "The Office". Interject "Ed" for all the "Roys" and "he" and you'll understand my old problem.

"Roy is a good guy; he's a provider, he's stable, he's reliable, but he isn't very thoughtful and he just does the bare minimum," Fischer says. "He's the guy who buys you the rose at the 7-Eleven on Valentine's Day. Whereas look what Jim gave her [for Christmas]: a teapot filled with inside jokes. That is the way to a woman's heart.

7-Eleven roses...got them so someone wouldn't be upset that he was at the strip club drinkin' all night.

Smile, frown, smile, frown (work those muscles)

Tonight I get to see my Lizzie! Lickin' Legs! Juniper Julep! Aaahhh, porno names are fun to make up. Ok, let's do the one with your pet's name and the street you live on. Ready?

Rusty Hume.

That just sounds wrong. Hume sounds like a euphemism. Ok, wait, it's "a" not "an", right? 'Cause "an" sounds wrong there. Anyways...

I'm all alone at my office. I have massive amounts of work to do that I need to get done in 4hrs, which of course will not get done to perfection but done to an agreeable result.

Was just checkin' up on my Megan's blog. Need to update my television one. People, does anyone read it? I hope so. I also will find time to maybe update the OC newsreel.

Anyone that reads this (Bueller? Bueller?) and is signed up for an 'FNX card want to go see The Subways for free at The Paradise next Thursday? Oh, gotta remind Megan about Nada Surf next Friday. Hmmm...anything else goin' on in my life? Well, planning another Girls' Night In, would should be lots of fun. March 25th, girlies. Gotta remember to tell Megan I had Brian read her entry about Zinc.

Alrighty. I'm gonna do some work. LOL, seriously...LOL.

Registered Gift Offenders

I don’t understand gift registries. Ok, I mildly get them, but I don’t like them. To me, they scream, “selfish, gimme gimme”. They don’t allow you to be creative and original. It does let you in on the couple’s (or really, soon-to-be wife’s) style and greediness. The atrocious things they think they need immediately after the ceremony. Who really needs olive picks? You can’t just go out and buy them yourself? Honestly?! If I want something, I just go out and buy it. I’m a horrible giftee for Christmas, birthdays, any time I should receive a gift because if I want something, I’ll just go get it myself. I’m picky. So, yea, to the untrained person, a gift registry would be perfect for me. But, you also hafta know that although I like things as much as the next person, I’m not a charity case that needs you to buy me things. Ok, that’s an extreme note. Do these people not own regular dishware? Or do they really think they should use the nice china every day?

Me? Give me gift certificates. Give me cash. Or checks. Hey, if I can figure it out, I’ll accept credit cards in one orifice or another. So, what will I be doin’ regarding an impending bridal shower and wedding? Most likely, not from the registry. I already have a few ideas. I’m clever. I don’t need to know the couple, since, well, since one of them was 18 but I damn know sure how to give gifts. Considerate gifts. Original gifts. Perfect gifts specific for the receiver.

Plus, I’m surprised they are not registered for a big screen HDTV and surround sound system. Come on, if you’re gonna go for it, go for the gusto. GUSTO…not pesto. And, in this rant, really…really! Who actually uses a waffle maker more than once? Just another item to collect dust.

And while you are at it, pick up a bread machine for the couple. I can sure use a great hand-me-down, never-been-used personal bakery in the near future.
