I was totally ok with being single until I met this super adorable couple at Starbucks, the kind where they are best friends and just really enjoy each others company. That, paired with the fact that it gets dark at 4 now, has made me mopey. It also doesn’t help that I tried contacting my two closest guy friends and my brother and no one is responding. I will be glad when this moodiness goes...

I am going to add “Asking for a friend” after every question I ask from now on.
“Where is the restroom? Asking for a friend.”
“Can I get a large coffee? Asking a for a friend.”
“Where do you want to go for dinner? Asking for a friend.”
“You’re cute. Wanna go out? Asking for a friend.”
“Why are you so annoying? Asking for...

Dream
I had a dream last night that I was on Hell’s Kitchen, and to get to the finals they split us into two groups and then we had to go into an elevator to get to the next stage, except that once we got in the elevator we couldn’t continue until we eliminated 3 of the people so that there were only 3 left. I ended up continuing, along with a blonde chick (who apparently I was besties with)...
Book #3 Finished!!
Yes, I finished The Know-It-All by AJ Jacobs and I feel like I know it all! Actually no, I feel like I might know a little more, but definitely not all. It was a really good read though, and I find myself thinking of the book every once in a while (like, when Georgetown Cupcake kept RTing everyone who mentioned their Lacoste themed cupcakes, I thought of how it’s unclear whether it’s...
Reading Update
Finished The Sherlockian in three days! It was really good and I enjoyed it immensely. I started readingA Visit From The Goon Squad but after the first three chapters it’s kind of depressing, which led to a mini-rant in my head about why modern literature has to be so sad all the time. I might go back and finish it, we’ll see. So instead I started readingThe Know-It-All by A.J. Jacobs,...
Saturday was a lot of fun. My roommate & I decided to go out and have some fun in Cambridge. We started at one bar, and then moved on to another (where she had met this guy once and wanted to see if he was there that night). We spot this guy sitting in the corner, and my roommate thinks it’s him but it turns out not to be, but it’s too late because I’m tipsy and I think...
Sometimes,
the thought that my roommate & I could potentially be the same person (a laFight Club)
is more comforting than thinking my friends are inconsiderate buttfaces for inviting my roommate to a social event, assuming that by texting her they were also somehow inviting me.
We are not the same person (I think). We are not married (although my roommate would like otherwise). We are two...

Small Talk
I was at Trader Joe’s today, and the cashier asked me if I had any plans for tonight. They must have been trained to ask that, because this is not the first time a TJ employee has asked me if I had any plans for that night/the weekend. I think it’s strange to ask a complete stranger what their plans are because 1) why would they care? and 2) Isn’t that kind of personal? Both...
A: Are you going to go outside?
B: Why, what's outside?
Me (in my head, in the voice of Bob Belcher): YOUR HOME IS OUTSIDE. GO HOME. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD PLEASE GO HOME!!!!

I was a dream of mine to be proposed to in front of the Alien Queen prop that was at the Sci-Fi Museum in Seattle. When I found out the SFM no longer existed, I kind of took it as a sign that maybe I am destined to be single for the rest of my life (melodramatic, I know). So now Aliens: Colonial Marines is being released on February 12, 2013, and I’m taking it as a small affirmation that...
My worlds are colliding in the most interesting way!
Collision #1: I was at my roommate’s mother’s house for a bbq. We start talking to this guy, and it turns out he’s friends with one of my friends from law school!
Collision #2: I’m at V’s house for pho, and I meet this lady there. She sees me texting my roommate, and comments on the name (which is fairly...
Mini-Rant
Person X: Does anyone want to hang out?
Person Y: What did you have in mind?
Person X: Nevermind, everyone’s busy.
WHAT. WHATTTT. Not only do I find this extremely rude, but also a little hurtful. I want to hang out with you! Apparently our friendship is only defined by the other people in our circle of friends? At least lie and say that you’ve found something to do or you need to...
This weekend was full of good memories:
- Bought my first expensive pair of sunglasses (Ray-Ban New Wayfarers), and the guys at Sunglasses Hut were super cute and really nice and complimented me on my backpack :)
- Got to spend Friday afternoon hanging out with Zack and Pork, which included going to a local diner (Charlie’s) for lunch and then hanging out at Faneuil Hall and then at...

This is super emo and maybe it’s because I just finished The Hunger Games which is making me feel emotions, but I still miss my ex. In a really dumb way, I feel like. Today was the first time we hung out on a group and because it was a movie night he ended up sitting on the other side of the room and we didn’t really talk. It really sucks and I wished I could have sat next to him...
Kind of want to start a blog titled “The James Cameron Curmudgeon” and talk about how much I loved Aliens and the Terminator and how, if he could make movies like that, did Avatar manage to suck so bad???
Ok maybe I don’t need to start a blog, I pretty much said what I wanted in this post :D
I heart the South End
I love the South End, and feel so fortunate to be able to live here. Today I was craving pizza, so my roommate & I went to a local pizza place where they had my favorite as the slice of the day - basil, tomato and mozzarella. Then, we didn’t feel like going home quite yet because the weather was so nice. We wanted to go to The Beehive for dessert but unfortunately they were closed for a...
WatchI love Bob’s Burgers so much! This is one of my favorite scenes this past season ^__^
[Watching Dr. Who - Season 6, Episode 2]
Roomie: Why does [Matt Smith] still have a beard?
Me: He didn't have time to shave.
Roomie: He's a time lord! He always has time to shave!
My PAX East Recap is here! →
I should probably do a PAX East writeup, huh.
Well, if I do it won’t be here but on my Wordpress. I should probably get on that, now that I’ve done all the grown-up things I had planned for today. Yeah…

Celebrity Apprentice, Episode 3
Gonna try to live-blog Celebrity Apprentice! Especially since Pork isn’t here for me to do running commentary. :]
I will add here that of course there are spoilers ahead!
9:01 Watching last week’s recap, I don’t think Lisa is going to make it far. She’s too abrasive, and eventually all the women are going to turn on her.
9:03 Just realized I don’t know...
OK I need to blog this before I forget it, because it is a good memory! Last Sunday a bunch of us were hanging out and Derek said some things that made me laugh. The first was we were at dim sum, and he goes, “Jen wants to go to Pandy [a gaming/comic book store, super nerdy] but I don’t want to.” I love dry sarcasm <3 The second was that he was so excited when I taught him how...
Today Was A Good Day
Today Was A Good Day for The Following Reasons:
1) I saw Phil (my one and only ex) for the first time since we broke up. And it was nice! We talked for hours (and probably would have kept going except that we were sitting at the handicapped table at Sbux and a guy with a cane asked to sit and there was nowhere else to sit at the Sbux). And I did not get upset or cry like I thought I would!...
