the one where I would start drinking if this train had a bar car

Friday, January 12th, 2007

so…Friday. Finally.
Sammy has been sick this week which means that Erika has been getting up with him, all night, every night. I think they got up at 1:15 am, and I found them both downstairs, half asleep at 4:30 am.
So…Friday. Finally. Erika can get some sleep and I can take the night watch.

the one with a little spam in my space

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

so…I’ve received no less than 33 MySpace spam notifications this morning.
I’m glad all of these ladies want to be my friend, and I don’t find it odd at all that they all found my profile at 4:57 am.
oh yeah…that’s what I would say if I was an 18-to-26-year-old, living in my mom’s basement, thinking only […]

the one with all the catching up

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

so…no catching up right now.
Too tired.
For no reason.
Shouldn’t complain.
So I won’t.
The train is oddly full today.
Have a nice day.

the where we mix a little pine with a hefty helping of police

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

so…’tis the season to take down all of the Christmas decoration, lest ye be known on the block as “that house.”
Erika is truly amazing! In addition to taking care of a ten-and-a-half month old that might be teething, might have a cold, definately has as much energy as his three-year-old cousins, yesterday she painted the […]

the one with a little bit of censorship?

Monday, January 8th, 2007

so…this a call to all MBTA Green Line riders: have you seen the Kinki signs lately?
I’ve been trying to get a good picture of the “Kinki” label that is usually attached to the conductor’s cabin, but every train I’ve been on this year has had them removed!
is Charlie offended by the kink?

the one where I’m still rubbing the sleep from my eyes

Monday, January 8th, 2007

so…I like to read the local paper on the train in the morning. Well, “like” might be an overstatement. I don’t really “like” our local paper, but I also don’t like that we can’t get any other source of news from the Boston outlets even though we are the 4th largest metro area in the […]

the one where I’ve got you in a stranglehold

Friday, January 5th, 2007

so…I am not a violent person.
That being said, I’d love to see “Stranglehold”-era Ted Nugent kick Damn Yankees-”High Enough”-era Ted Nugent’s ass.

the one where sometimes when we touch the honesty is too much

Friday, January 5th, 2007

so…this morning I was putting my contacts in and I took a quick glance at the bottle of saline solution (in my blinder than the wall state). I saw the phrase “replacement schdule” on one line and the phrase “rubbing your contact lens” on the line immediately below.
Well, my brain thought it said something about […]

the one where I bitch about the train again

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

so…this will be the last time (today) I complain about the latest commuter rail fare hike.
You would think that with the extra money they’re bringing in they could manage to keep the lights on for an entire train ride — the light might have been on for 10-15 minutes out of the 50 minute ride.

the one where hell froze over

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

so…I have a problem with the ever-sliding definition of “classic rock” — more on this at a later date and time.
I just want to state, for the record, that at no time will Extreme’s “Hole Hearted” be classic rock!
A classic piece of crap, maybe, but classic rock? No.
