The top 50 scariest movies of all time…according to some douche rocket from The Boston Globe

October 29th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Boston.com, the militant online wing of the Globe, published their “50 Scariest Movies of all Time”, in the hit-grubbing tradition of Halloween. Being a sucker for lists, I had to click through each one of their picks and their comments, to get to their number one. I can only say that afterwards I felt roughly [...]

Halloween draws nigh, children anticipate sucrose, adults anticipate chicks in Daisy Dukes and such.

October 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Halloween. That magical time of year when all the little pagan rugrats come out and break your windows and steal your pets for sacrificial offerings. That special time of the year when a gang of knife-wielding mexicans might actually be less scary than a pack of 11-year olds.
And of course, adults grow up to the [...]

Sunday morning at the office.

October 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s the busy season here at work, and here I am with a large Dunkin’ Donuts pumpkin-flavored coffee, wishing it didn’t take me six attempts to type the word “coffee”, and prepared to put in at least a half day at the office on a Sunday.
That sucks, right?
Well, I’m playing “live on the bright side” [...]

World Series starts tonight, nation yawns.

October 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

This morning, as I was eating my bowl of whatever nutritious gerbil food my better half purchased this week, I watched some ill-advised SportsCenter, which I typically do only when there is time to be killed and I don’t feel like making the mental stretch to watch anything more taxing, like test patterns.
Of course, the [...]

Another 17-game series

Goodbye liver. Goodbye 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Goodbye productivity. Goodbye not smelling like a goat because I managed to take a shower in the morning.
Hello 125-cc IV of Dunkin’s. Hello visine. Hello three bags of empty beer bottles in the kitchen. Hello shaving with my eyes closed in the morning.
Hello Red Sox. It’s [...]

Everyone loves free tickets!

October 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Even me! I just scored a couple of tickets to the Bruins home opener against the Pittsburg Penguins, which should be a pretty fun game. I don’t really give a crap about hockey, but free tickets is free tickets, and it’s better than watching reruns of House on a monday night!
Speaking of free tickets, a [...]

Phases of your job….or school

October 14th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Okay, a co-worker just sent me an email that blew my mind. See, his girlfriend’s mother sent him this forward, and it’s mind boggling in a multitude of ways. But before I write my analysis of the forward, let me present to you the dumbest email forward in recorded history.

Phase 1

Blech - Boston sports take a dive, other notes.

October 13th, 2008 · No Comments

The Patriots looked like crap on Sunday night. Yecch. Matt Cassel is not great, but neither is the Patriots D. Nothing much about the Pats looked good. I went ahead and got plowed at our local sports bar ripoff and made my better half steer me home.
Game 2 of the ALCS…what’s the deal with Beckett!? [...]
