I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Compassionately intolerant

Sheesh.

As a non-cell phone haver, I'm simultaneously appalled and fascinated by the filter-killer that is the modern communication device.

Speaking about your gyno exam in a loud voice on the Metro? Sure. No problem.

Walk down the street, laden with expensive looking handbags, being stalked by muggers and still NO EVEN GETTING OFF THE PHONE when you are saved by a passerby (me)? Of course!

Roll through stoplights because you can't be bothered to look up while texting through an intersection? It's your Divine RIGHT, afterall.

Glergle. My ire is high on this issue.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Boston FTW!!!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Thanks, Jesse! We have a TB in my building. The pizza place is in another building, but there are tunnels connecting them. There's also spaghetti in the cafeteria downstairs.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Jesse, there are TB's in Worcester. You should visit.

I vote Taco Bell, because I had to look them up last night, only to learn there is apparently no Taco Bell in the city of Boston! So if you could bring me some, too, that would be great.

I think there's one in Cambridge near Inman Square (it's a combo TB/KFC).

I KNOW there used to be one on the first floor of Warren Towers at BU (Comm Ave just past Kenmore) but there also used to be a BK accross the street and that's gone, so maybe the TB closed as well.

In the future ALL restaurants will be Taco Bell!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Cooking with Pooh.

We have this book! Emeline and Joe made ginger cookies from the recipe. They were really good and had no pooh.

There are a few in Cambridge! Lucky, lucky Cambridge.

Now I'm thinking about stopping at the corner taquiera for dinner on my way home tonight.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am currently formatting and checking a reference list for a paper. The author, when adding in a reference, consistently remembered to add the quotes at the beginning of the article name. Not ONCE has he managed to close the quotes at the end.

What is your current stupid pet peeve about your job?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

People deciding for themselves when requests will be handled instead of coming to the damn meeting so everyone can discuss it.
