A post in which I say “masshole” a lot

Anyone who has ever spent any time in New England knows about the “Boston” accent.  If you’ve spent any time around people who were raised here or who spent the greater portions of their lives in proximity to certain parts of Massachusetts, you know about the Law of R Conservation.

I’m not sure I have words for this

“Obsessed with guns much?”

That was about all Geoff and I had to say when this arrived in my inbox today.  Courtesy of Etsy, naturally, I had to click through to the seller and see if this was for real.

It is.

Closed due to… snow?

As you probably have heard by now, most of the eastern seaboard is dealing with a little storm.  There are a lot of closures and various emergencies being declared including right here in MA.  Tonight I was at a party after work for a retiring colleague when my boss, at the request of another coworker, pulled up the MFA website on her phone to see if they were closed tomorrow.  This is what she saw.

My life, explained in photos

Lately things have been a little crazy around here.  I have been running at full tilt to get a lot of work done for a lot of different places, getting less sleep than I should, while generally getting very frustrated with the world.  And recovering from pneumonia.  As there have been a plethora of oddly appropriate animal macros floating around on the web (most from ICHC), I’m going to use them to help explain my story.

26 posters

Don’t worry, they’re not all in this post.

Today I got my daily email from Fab.com.  One of the featured shops was for artist John Keddie, a San Francisco based artist who is a multimedia computer savvy type guy.  He also very clearly has an appreciation for pop culture and, well, twisted humor.  That’s why we’ve put up 7 of his posters.  The rest are probably too, um, gritty for our parents.  As they read this blog regularly and may pass out from too much grit, we’ve erred on the side of caution with our choices.

My great white green whale

Geoff and I don’t have a lot of money.  This means that when we need something I tend to spend a lot of time looking to find the right item at the right price and the right quality.  That way we don’t have to replace it in 10 minutes and we end up with what we need.  Sometimes this is harder to do than other times.

The things you learn on the internet

I was reading through the most recent post by The Bloggess.  This post was her announcement of the third leg of her book tour and there was much celebration in the comments from people who will get to see her at a reading.  As usual, I scrolled on down and read through the comments because they’re often hilarious.  Then I came to this one.
