A warm day, forty
Pictures, and a viewing of
Tombstone. Excellent.

Oreo

Congratulations to my cousin, who is now free from the bindings of college.

And who is also the proud owner of Oreo, a ridiculously adorable puppy.

Haiku 253

Salvation very much
Was better than Rise. A late
Night well enjoyed. Whoo!

On a Plain

Here’s hoping Terminator: Salvation is better than Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

Of course, if it doesn’t have CGI blood, it’s already got a leg up.

Haiku 252

Sometimes I wonder
Why it’s so hard to get up
On such a nice day.

Cheers

It’s awesome to have a place where the cash register guy knows my name. I’m now well known at three different establishments, and I’m sure pretty well known at a fourth.

Haiku 251

The apartment is
Ours. All we had to do was
Hear two people screw.

Blurgh

I would love if realtors would call back in a reasonable time. I’m going to set them all on fire one of these days, I’m sure of it. The industry will burn.

Haiku 250

Angels & Demons
Is  a better movie than
DaVinci Code was.

Visions

Every time I go out dancing, I love it a little more. Now if only I could taze douchebags out of my way, it was all be perfect.

Haiku 249

Potatoes, lots of
Cheese, and some broccoli mix
Well into dinner.

Streamline

So apparently, the realty company manager bitched out the landlord for not letting them know about the apartments being taken. Then the girls backed out.

We may have a place.

Haiku 248

This whole “too much work”
Nonsense has to stop. Fires
Need more time to burn.

Your Love

An uneventful day, a regular hang-out evening. Excellent.

Haiku 247

Books, books, everywhere,
And I need something to drink.
Maybe some Drano.

Damnit, I’m a Doctor!

Dr. “Bones” McCoy is pretty much one of the greatest characters ever.

Haiku 246

Six months, eight days, and
Some hours after starting,
Divine is finished.

Live Long and Prosper

It’s always interesting how I can go from being just a tag-along to being the center of a night’s worth of plans. It’d bother me more if I didn’t enjoy the process.

Especially when those plans involve Star Trek.

Haiku 245

In Mother Russia,
Apartments hunt you! I love
Our realtor, Bear.

Black Widow

Hm, rain and laundry all in one day. This week is taking far too long to get to the good stuff.

Haiku 244

Four hours on the
Circ Desk, and then six places
To see and reject.

No Rest for the Weary

A long day at work, followed by a douche of a realtor. What a Monday.

Haiku 243

My family loves
To embarrass me; but I
Think my mom is proud.

Les Iris

Even the second time, Wolverine still isn’t good.

Haiku 242

Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
I need to rock out.

Bargain

You know what’s amazing? Seeing a person that you’ve known for years step up to a mic and blow you away.

Haiku 241

The broccoli wins
The boxing match with the pear.
The frog cries for pie.

Teen Spirit

Well shit. It’s in the 80s (around 29° C) today, I walked 3.5 miles to work (5.6 km), and I took a shit-ton of pictures on the way.

At this rate, I may actually begin to enjoy Tuesdays.

Haiku 240

Happy Birthday Chris.
Your present is to look at
Sub-par apartments!

It’s Not a Tumor

Any night that includes crackers, cheese, and Kindgergarten Cop is a good night by me.

In other news, my camera’s new name might have to be Lazarus.

Haiku 239

The Party Pope wants
Everyone to rock out, and
Have an awesome night.

Resolute

You should probably go watch this, and then thank me later.

Haiku 238

Ten apartments in
Two hours is a lot of
Looking to handle

Don’t Come Around Here No More

It felt good to write in Divine. Maybe I can finally finish that project…

Haiku 237

Everybody
Knows that a Tyrannosaur
Looks better in shoes.

Patriot’s Day

Man, a holiday on 4/20? Count me in.

By the by, sleeping late is magical.

Haiku 236

I had to buy a
Pair of sneakers that are size
15. My feet: HUGE.

Welcome

A long, long day. Fun fact: my feet are too big for City Sports.

Haiku 235

It is nice to see
That the sun is finally
Out, and the day warm.

Rockit

What’s that? A pile of awesome things for under $30? Sign me up.

Haiku 234

Beware the Ides of
April. They are sort of like
March, but fruitier.

Soul

The best thing to do after a day of insane work followed by a day of an ice cream party is, without a doubt, late night beer and pool.

Haiku 233

It has not been this
Cold since the end of the long
Stupid winter months.

Bunnies Come from Eggs

Happy Easter!

Haiku 232

Conversations, food,
Some mild writing, steak tips,
And huge beer: good times.

Inertiatic

Super chocolate yum!

Haiku 231

Holy fuck, the sun
Is out and bright today. This
Shit had better last.

Robot Rock

Only got 4 out of the 7 script pages I needed to write done. On the other hand, now I have a Viking fighting an English knight, while a scientist and a Time Cop rush down to stop them.

Haiku 230

It is fun to work
On posts until the deadline.
Go check out this week’s!

Far Away

Here’s what you want to do. Go to Nick McLaren’s website, and listen to his song. Then, when you realize how awesome it is, pass it along to others.

Nick is a good friend and great musician. You won’t be disappointed.

Haiku 229

Why is it that I
Continually land in
Panera Bread shops?

Panera Fiends

I spent 4 hours talking more than writing, followed by pictures at the warf. And in between, a hundred or so people walked past the window carrying pillows.

Haiku 228

The cold and wet is
No place for the weather to
Be in the Spring Time

The American Way

It’s a good thing my chair isn’t actually too comfortable. Otherwise I’d be asleep.

Haiku 227

No coincidence
That the Frenzy starts on the
Same day as the Fools.

Thinking of You

There are a shit-ton of realtors near me.

Haiku 226

The rain can bring out
The worst in us all. Or, the
Best in just a few.

The Outsider

A day of relaxing, reading, and finding wedding tapes in thrift stores. A good day.

Haiku 225

Getting on the train,
There was warmth and sunshine. Then,
It became ugly.

Born of a Broken Man

The Month of Crazy begins tonight, innocently enough with Monsters vs Aliens.

Haiku 224

Somehow, I cannot
Be annoyed that my cheap-ass
Shirt has a burn mark.

Cascade

There is something wrong with society when it costs $50 to have a key made.

Haiku 223

I wish I had an
Infinite money stash, for
All of the awesome.

Long Hard Road

All car trips are made better by rocking out. Always.

Haiku 222

I find the hardest
Thing about skydiving is
The damn elephant.

Juicebox

Salesmen don’t like it when you let them measure you and give you advice, and then inform them that you don’t want to spend enough money to actually buy anything in that store.

Ah well.

Haiku 221

Much like the film, The
Big Lebowski
, I will be
Drinking and bowling.

Bloated

The only problem with walking three miles to work in the morning is being very sweaty at the end.

Haiku 220

Three miles - longer
Than you would think they are. But
A very nice walk.

Being Green

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! Hope you all stay green and full of liquor.

Actually, that sounds like it could be an issue…

Haiku 219

Sometimes, all it takes
Is some ingenuity,
Booze, and a puppy

Mambo

It’s going to hit nearly 60 today. The sun is out and bright.

It makes me oh so happy.

Haiku 218

A new hair cut, and
The day is gorgeous. But my
New toy won’t work right.

Inching

Well, today is clear and sunny, albeit cold. We’re getting closer!

Haiku 217

I wore a tie to
Work today. It confused all
The people I know.

Liquid Sun

Dear Weather:

What the fuck? Why do you stay cold when you’re relatively nice out, and then the second you start raining you get warmn? Only to get cold again when the sun returns?

Not cool, man. Not. Cool.

Haiku 216

Buffalo Chicken
Fingers are a novel way
To balance laundry.

Inside Your Head

Hey, weather, what the shit? You were 50 for two days, and then you switch back to snow & rain alternating while it’s around freezing?

What. The. Shit?

Haiku 215

Wake up at the start
Of the afternoon, relax
All day, and then write.

Ballad of the Couch

It’s fun waking up in the morning, and having my head tilt at a slightly odd angle for the better part of a half hour against my will.

Haiku 214

Who is the one that
Watches the Watchmen? Why, it
Is I! Thanks, Snyder!

Samba Pa Ti

This week totally has it out for me. I wake up and my ceiling light explodes. Stupid week.

Haiku 213

The B Line can suck
My balls. I think this week has
It out for me. Oy.

Mother’s Daughter

Well, returned to work and my laptop broke. Excellent.

Haiku 212

Snow days are the best
Days that a kid can have. So
It is with me, too.

Funky Shit

It’s snowing, I can’t focus, and there are no movies out that are particularly interesting me right now. Sort of a series of sucker punches.

Haiku 211

Still too early for
Spring cleaning, but a good time
For winter’s end stuff

Potatoes

Loaded Baked Bison Soup would be an interesting flavor experience.

Haiku 210

Everything is lost
Today, but luckily I
Got my fake plant back.

Pancakes

I got pancakes, the day after Pancake Day. Hellz yeah.

Haiku 209

My laundry was done
In record time tonight. But,
I was hungry too.

Sheets

Stupid rain stupid freezing in the stupid night and stupid turning into stupid sheets of stupid ice, stupidly endangering me in the stupid mornings.

It’s stupid.

Haiku 208

A relaxing day
Inside writing, while outside
The sky weeps for us.

Adult Learner

Fanboys is awesome. That’s all you need to know.

Haiku 207

Three bars, eight beers, a
Whole bunch of people, and my
Gloves that got ruined

Liberty

Today went from gray and rainy to warm and sunny back to rain. If I hadn’t grown up in New England, this sort of shit would blow my mind.

Haiku 206

It was warmish for
A week, but then it turned cold
And fuck, then it snowed

Turn the Other Way

Another day, another morning spent in a haze.

Shaimus, you know me all too well.

Haiku 205

A full day driving
Around Massachusetts, and
I still need to build.

Chick Flick

He’s Just Not That Into You is excellent if you are the sappy kind of girl that likes unrealistic and pointless stories with endings that absolutely defeat the purpose of the message of the movie.

Otherwise, go watch Friday the 13th or something instead.

Haiku 204

Happy Day of love,
Chocolates, presents, greeting
Cards, and plenty sex.

Friday the 13th

It would probably be a scarier thing if it weren’t for the movie coming out tonight.

Haiku 203

Fifty degrees and
It looks like it will get cold.
I can’t wait for Spring.

Overworld

Today is amazing weather. It’s already got me excited for Spring.

Haiku 202

Standing on a green
Blanket to use as a green
Screen, I feel a fool.

Alpha Dog

I need so much more music on vinyl, I could spit.

But not right now. Because that would be gross.

Haiku 201

Three feet of hot dogs
Are on fire and laying
All over the floor

How Can I Hold On

The film marches on, closer and closer to completetion. This one will have flying vegetables.

Haiku 200

I am a movie
Geek, through and through. And I love
Every moment.

Milestone

This is my 200th rumination. In honor, I finished eating a giant chocolate bar.

Life is good.

Haiku 199

When Aquaman yells
“Outrageous!” we all win. Long
Live Batman cartoons.

Seven’s Travels

2 hours on a bus is much more bearable when you’re reading a book that you can get into really easily.

Haiku 198

One year with my gal,
And she is going to hate
Me haiku-ing it.

History

2 hours on a bus is a really long time to wait when you’re really excited to get to the end of the trip.

Haiku 197

Frost/Nixon is an
Interesting look at a
Historic event

Aqualung

I bet I can take a nap in my cubicle without anybody noticing. I’ll turn my music off and put up a sign that I’m not there. No one will know the difference.

Haiku 196

Lasagna followed
By The Duchess makes for an
Interesting night

Anger Rising

Dear Weather,

What the shit? Snow, and then rain? And freezing temperatures? The lakes in the street were so deep the water actually got above the sealed parts of my boots, meaning that although they’re waterproof, my feet still got wet.

So, ah…stop it. And maybe warm up a little or something. Ice is lame.

Love,

Tom

Haiku 195

The bearded gnome walks
Through the Garden of Dreams, and
Poops just everywhere.

Jailbreak

I fell asleep at my desk today.

Clearly, my job is a mile-a-minute adrenaline ride.

Haiku 194

Some days, a shower
Is the most fantastic thing
You can imagine.

Same Ol’ Situation (S.O.S.)

Liquor + bowling + cake = genius.

Haiku 193

Recorded voices
Are the worst phone menus in
The entire world

Welcome Home

Trapeze artists and people that toss other people around with just their feet is an awesome way to spend a Wednesday night.

Haiku 192

The only cooking
Show you will ever need is
Here on ZSN

Hail to the Chief

Dear Barack Obama,

Welcome to office. Now don’t fuck it up.

Love,

Haiku 191

The snow blankets the
Ground, covering cars, turning
Them into snow mounds

Song for the Deaf

Turns out my little brother is going down a similar music path that I’ve gone down, starting at the same age, with the same bands. I wish I had someone like me to mooch all my music off of, the lucky punk.

Haiku 190

The triceratops
At the museum goes by
The epic name: Cliff.

Dr. Feelgood

Cake ordered, candles and ice cream bought, dinner eaten. Now: zombies.

In the meantime, go watch this trailer.

Haiku 189

Two Mag-Lites, two packs
Of batteries, and a single
Awesome looking knife

Arctic Invasion

This weather is beginning to take a turn for the worse. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out.

Haiku 188

The next time I see
That silly purposeful young
Pup, I will kiss sky

Ambrosia

Mac & Cheese is of the gods, once restaurants get their hands on it.

Haiku 187

No sleep, frozen feet
And I was one third of the
Snoring Room. But, fun!

No Turing

Tubing is, simply, the shit. The only thing better than flying down a hill on a tube in the snow, is doing it in a huge group of 7 people.

Yes, I have done that now. We called it the Magnificent Seven.

Haiku 186

The cold air is sharp,
As if a thousand needles
Were dipped in some cold.

I’ll Be

Edwin McCain throws a pretty good show. If you’re into his type of rock, go check him out when he’s in town.

Haiku 185

The sidewalk is made
Entirely of ice and
Dangerous sloping

The Edge

We’ve been brainstorming video ideas. When they’re done, there’s only one part of your seat that you’ll need.

Haiku 184

I am drowning in
Literature, from Dickens
To Danielle Steele

Jump off a Ledge

And fall out of the fridge. The only way to travel.

Haiku 183

We are getting a
New oven. But my heater
Will never work right.

Carry On

Left 4 Dead is a ridiculously intense zombie game. Bio-Zombie is a ridiculously retarded zombie movie from Asia. They make an interesting pair.

Haiku 182

It does not feel like
2009. Therefore, it
Is ‘08 Part 2

So Long Farewell

What’s that? A New Year’s Eve gathering with just a few friends, and a Trick Shot Beer Pong game? Count me in!

Haiku 181

Steph comes home tonight!
After so many days, I
Am super happy!

Blending With Chicken

Everything that happened with a video camera today was excellent.

Even better? Steph comes back tomorrow!

Haiku 180

I want to wish my
Wonderful little Peep a
Quite  Happy Birthday!

Hooligan Spirit

The Spirit was hilarious. It also didn’t make a whole lot of sense at times, but I still found it quite amusing none the less. Make sure to see it some time!

Haiku 179

A shirt was too small,
So I exchanged it and got
Two more for 4 bucks!

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Haiku 178

Today is Christmas
Eve, and now I’m excited
For tomorrow morn’.

Music: Response

I don’t know why I was at work today. It was rather pointless. On the bright side, I bought some new wool socks. Yay for warm feet!

Haiku 177

I don’t see why I
Have to go to work today.
No one will be there.

Theme to a Fake Revolution

Holy crap, it is snowing hard. And I’m running on 4 hours of restless sleep. Blah.

On the bright side, Steph made it home safely. :)

Haiku 176

Post Office closed at
1. I got there at 3. I
Don’t have good timing.

The Walls of Babylon

Looks like the snow storm they predicted actually happened. Left work at 3 and got a home-cooked dinner. I love Fridays.

Haiku 175

Books, books everywhere
And my sugar levels are
Way too freakin’ low

Lazer Sheep Dip Funk

The Snickerdoodles were a hit! 49 of ‘em baked, 45 ish eaten today (I had a few last night). Awesome.

Haiku 174

My Snickerdoodles
Taste really good. That sounds more
Dirty than it should.

The Air Near My Fingers

Know what’s fun? Watching a leak slowly grow in a ceiling, waiting for the tile to collapse onto books.

I love my job.

Haiku 173

I have seen many
Christmas movies today. I
Don’t need any more.

Fortuna

All of our Christmas lights are up now. Far as I’m concerned, that renders the living room’s ceiling light obselete.

Haiku 172

The key to keeping
College kids happy: candy,
Crayons and paper

Movement of the Odyssey

All presents bought, three presents wrapped, and it is raining like crazy out there.

One day closer to the Christmas Movie Marathon.

Haiku 171

Today at work is
The most boring day that I
Have lived through lately

You Got No Right

Today, I returned the space heater that kept shutting off my apartment, and instead got 3 strings of Christmas lights. My room won’t necessarily be warmer, but our living room will be festive!

Oh, right, and the Sociodome is now decorated for Christmas.

Haiku 170

I now have most of
My Christmas shopping done. I
Hate Christmas shopping.

Kids With Guns

Today at the Nano TGIO party, I won the “Boston Fashionista Award” for my signature Thinking Hard Hat. My prize included a fake poseable mustache and a pink feather boa. Hellz yeah.

Haiku 169

Three bars, two beers, one
Kamikaze, two whiskey
And Cokes later: sleep.

Moving in Stereo

Know what makes a good night? A great girlfriend, good pizza, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Muppets from Space.

Haiku 168

Feeling tired from
A long week and an even
Longer November

History

Wearing new jeans. They feel weird, probably because they’re not ridiculously worn out yet.

Still, though. Got my $5 worth out of those other ones.

Haiku 167

Do you like my new
Scarf? It is nice and quite warm,
And is real Cashme.

Still Raining, Still Dreaming

The novel’s not done yet, but I will be taking care of that shortly. The story needs to be finished. On the bright side, I can write for ZSN again.

I’ve been told my blue jeans are publically innapropriate by Steph. Guess I’ll have to break in a new pair now.
