the one where I write some random stuff and then you read some random stuff

so…Happy Chanukah!!
——–
the MBTA just spent something retardly stupid, like $450K to redesign and launch their new website, and it hasn’t worked all day!
Shit! I would’ve whored myself out for a year’s worth of commuter rail passes, AND actually gave them something that worked!
Glad to see those fare increases going to good use!

the one where I’m closer to sleep than not

Friday, December 15th, 2006

so…there’s a new watering hole in town that claims to be the “newest sports pub, restaurant and martini bar…with a TV at each table.”
I think having a TV at each table automatically means that you’re NOT a martini bar…

the train smells like ass this morning

The Daisuke Matsuzaka era has begun in Red Sox Nation.
Yesterday, I […]

the one where I say hi to my friends

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

so…have I said how much I *love* MyBlogLog?
I love being able to see who is coming to my site. Putting a face to a name (or a referrer).
Hi!
…and to my inquisitive visitor in Maine, searching for “fillorburst.com,” I hope you found what you were looking for in the 27 minutes that you spent here.

the one where I save your job

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

so…note to self (the global self, not just the selfish self):
When typing up a report to send to the head of the department, always spell check to make sure “internal departments” is not “interanal departments.”

the one where I couldn’t come up with a title

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

so…I noticed on my way in today that the Wang Center is now called the Citi Performing Arts Center.
That’s sad.
When I think of the arts I don’t usually think of high interest rates and credit card debt.
Although, I don’t know if the opposite is true either: When I think of the arts I think about […]

the one where I realize I’m the anti-mechanic

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

so…do you remember my small, only slightly annoying serpentine belt problem? Well, it’s fixed.
And it was wicked simple.
And I overlooked it, and feel stupid.
My dad and step-mom came up for a visit this past weekend. My dad is a master mechanic. He’s forgetten more about cars than I’ve even pretended to know. I’ve explained the […]

the one where I sleep on the couch

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

so…I slept on the couch last night. No, I wasn’t in the dog house. I just love my wife. And, no, I don’t snore. Really. (pay no attention to what my wife might say on the subject)
Sammy has been having a bitch of a time sleeping for the last few weeks. It’s advanced from the […]

the one where someone gets hearburn

so…
peanut butter: Good!
mixed-berry cream cheese: Good!
peanut butter and mixed-berry cream cheese on an everything bagel: Not exactly the best mix of savory, sweet and salty flavors!

the one where things do not happen in the office early in the morning

Monday, December 11th, 2006

so…you know you’re special when you walk into the bathroom work and the motion sensitive lights are off: First person in the bathroom!
Yes, I’m slightly excited about this. The first person in the men’s room, on a Monday, means a completely clean, smell-free experience*: a weekend’s worth of air freshener unfouled by the common man.
*Even […]
