yeah!

Oh, man. I can't believe this kind of language is posted on a school bus! Further yet, I can't believe this is what a school bus looks like these days! What happened to the golden yellow embarrassment with the sticky green vinyl seats all torn up with springs sticking out? Kids get to ride in a van these days? A van with swear words on it?? Damn. Kids these days have it so good. When I was their age...

ain't that the truth

I don't want to get into where I've been for the last month. Lets just say I've spent a lot of time at Cantab Lounge on Mass Ave, hanging with Mr. Cook and throwing back cans of lukewarm LaBatts. Which reminds me- remember the Cambridgeport Saloon? Anyway, the Cantab is not where I've been. But like I said, lets just say it was, okay?

ipod: I currently cannot locate my ipod, but I think it might be in my green bag under the bed.

moving on up

I'm catching up on some photos I've taken but haven't posted about. Here's one from last week as the last of the Harvard kids followed the piper out of town. I believe the technique being implemented here was the mattress being used as a buffer so as not to scratch the roof of the minivan with the bike. I can't read the plates exactly, but they're not MA.
Good luck kids. See you on the news when you crash under the low bridge on Storrow!

bottled up

First off, this post is for yesterday.
Okay, this summer will officially be known as "The Summer of Meetings". I have never met with so many people in my life. I swear, I am not that important. There is no need to meet with me. I will only yell at you. That's what I do in all these meetings. Yell at people- and yet they keep coming back for more.
Here's a picture from the Cambridge exit of the Mass Pike at the stop light. The light is long and gives one ample time to untie ones shoes and switch from work boots to flip flops, as I did, or rid your car of all those empty juice bottles, water bottles, coffee cups, and granola bar wrappers, as I think every person at the light before me did.
(ps. this post counts as me going to work, because I took the photo on my way to the office coming back from a meeting)

climate: freakin' hot. like 97 and sunny
shoes: leather doc martin work boots, and then flip flops
ipod: Bonnie Tyler on the car radio

car fire

I spent the past few days in Houston, Texas, so I haven't been walking to work. Besides, no one walks anywhere in Houston. The hotel offered to call me a cab to go to the CVS a block away! But on my cab ride from the airport to the hotel, I did see this very exciting car fire. It started as a small puff of smoke and I watched as the thing was totally engulfed with flames in seconds. A local told me that car fires happen all the time there, and they call them carbeques. That's Texas for you, I guess! I'm glad to be back in the east coast, where the coffee is strong and no one calls me ma'am.

climate: overcast, mid 30's
shoes: brown flats
ipod: i had headphones on for pretty much 5 hours straight on the plane yesterday, so I decided to give it a rest

pink cadillac

here's the pink cadillac that I always see in the morning. people, this is a REAL LIVE MARY KAY CADDY! I want to know what it takes to get one of these. How many compacts and tubes of lipstick does it take to get a pink mary kay caddy? If anyone knows, let me know becuase I'm sure its some kind of honor. A gas guzzling honor from the late 70's.

climate: low 40's, overcast
shoes: burgundy sneakers with sweet pink racing stripes
ipod: forgot to put in on, actually


*EDIT- I just found out that you can choose from a convertible, a caddy, or an SUV for your prestigious mary kay career car. just thought you should all know the options available.
