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

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.
Salvation very much
Was better than Rise. A late
Night well enjoyed. Whoo!
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.
Sometimes I wonder
Why it’s so hard to get up
On such a nice day.
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.
The apartment is
Ours. All we had to do was
Hear two people screw.
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.
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.
Potatoes, lots of
Cheese, and some broccoli mix
Well into dinner.
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.
This whole “too much work”
Nonsense has to stop. Fires
Need more time to burn.
Books, books, everywhere,
And I need something to drink.
Maybe some Drano.
Dr. “Bones” McCoy is pretty much one of the greatest characters ever.
Six months, eight days, and
Some hours after starting,
Divine is finished.
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.
In Mother Russia,
Apartments hunt you! I love
Our realtor, Bear.
Hm, rain and laundry all in one day. This week is taking far too long to get to the good stuff.
Four hours on the
Circ Desk, and then six places
To see and reject.
A long day at work, followed by a douche of a realtor. What a Monday.
My family loves
To embarrass me; but I
Think my mom is proud.
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
I need to rock out.
You know what’s amazing? Seeing a person that you’ve known for years step up to a mic and blow you away.
The broccoli wins
The boxing match with the pear.
The frog cries for pie.
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.
Happy Birthday Chris.
Your present is to look at
Sub-par apartments!
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.
The Party Pope wants
Everyone to rock out, and
Have an awesome night.
You should probably go watch this, and then thank me later.
Ten apartments in
Two hours is a lot of
Looking to handle
It felt good to write in Divine. Maybe I can finally finish that project…
Everybody
Knows that a Tyrannosaur
Looks better in shoes.
Man, a holiday on 4/20? Count me in.
By the by, sleeping late is magical.
I had to buy a
Pair of sneakers that are size
15. My feet: HUGE.
A long, long day. Fun fact: my feet are too big for City Sports.
It is nice to see
That the sun is finally
Out, and the day warm.
What’s that? A pile of awesome things for under $30? Sign me up.
Beware the Ides of
April. They are sort of like
March, but fruitier.
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.
It has not been this
Cold since the end of the long
Stupid winter months.
Conversations, food,
Some mild writing, steak tips,
And huge beer: good times.
Holy fuck, the sun
Is out and bright today. This
Shit had better last.
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.
It is fun to work
On posts until the deadline.
Go check out this week’s!
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.
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.
The cold and wet is
No place for the weather to
Be in the Spring Time
It’s a good thing my chair isn’t actually too comfortable. Otherwise I’d be asleep.
No coincidence
That the Frenzy starts on the
Same day as the Fools.
The rain can bring out
The worst in us all. Or, the
Best in just a few.
A day of relaxing, reading, and finding wedding tapes in thrift stores. A good day.
Getting on the train,
There was warmth and sunshine. Then,
It became ugly.
The Month of Crazy begins tonight, innocently enough with Monsters vs Aliens.
Somehow, I cannot
Be annoyed that my cheap-ass
Shirt has a burn mark.
There is something wrong with society when it costs $50 to have a key made.
I wish I had an
Infinite money stash, for
All of the awesome.
All car trips are made better by rocking out. Always.
I find the hardest
Thing about skydiving is
The damn elephant.
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.
Much like the film, The
Big Lebowski, I will be
Drinking and bowling.
The only problem with walking three miles to work in the morning is being very sweaty at the end.
Three miles - longer
Than you would think they are. But
A very nice walk.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! Hope you all stay green and full of liquor.
Actually, that sounds like it could be an issue…
Sometimes, all it takes
Is some ingenuity,
Booze, and a puppy
It’s going to hit nearly 60 today. The sun is out and bright.
It makes me oh so happy.
A new hair cut, and
The day is gorgeous. But my
New toy won’t work right.
Well, today is clear and sunny, albeit cold. We’re getting closer!
I wore a tie to
Work today. It confused all
The people I know.
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.
Buffalo Chicken
Fingers are a novel way
To balance laundry.
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?
Wake up at the start
Of the afternoon, relax
All day, and then write.
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.
Who is the one that
Watches the Watchmen? Why, it
Is I! Thanks, Snyder!
This week totally has it out for me. I wake up and my ceiling light explodes. Stupid week.
The B Line can suck
My balls. I think this week has
It out for me. Oy.
Well, returned to work and my laptop broke. Excellent.
Snow days are the best
Days that a kid can have. So
It is with me, too.
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.
Still too early for
Spring cleaning, but a good time
For winter’s end stuff
Loaded Baked Bison Soup would be an interesting flavor experience.
Everything is lost
Today, but luckily I
Got my fake plant back.
I got pancakes, the day after Pancake Day. Hellz yeah.
My laundry was done
In record time tonight. But,
I was hungry too.
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.
A relaxing day
Inside writing, while outside
The sky weeps for us.
Three bars, eight beers, a
Whole bunch of people, and my
Gloves that got ruined
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.
It was warmish for
A week, but then it turned cold
And fuck, then it snowed
Another day, another morning spent in a haze.
Shaimus, you know me all too well.
A full day driving
Around Massachusetts, and
I still need to build.
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.
Happy Day of love,
Chocolates, presents, greeting
Cards, and plenty sex.
It would probably be a scarier thing if it weren’t for the movie coming out tonight.
Fifty degrees and
It looks like it will get cold.
I can’t wait for Spring.
Today is amazing weather. It’s already got me excited for Spring.
Standing on a green
Blanket to use as a green
Screen, I feel a fool.
I need so much more music on vinyl, I could spit.
But not right now. Because that would be gross.
Three feet of hot dogs
Are on fire and laying
All over the floor
The film marches on, closer and closer to completetion. This one will have flying vegetables.
I am a movie
Geek, through and through. And I love
Every moment.
This is my 200th rumination. In honor, I finished eating a giant chocolate bar.
Life is good.
When Aquaman yells
“Outrageous!” we all win. Long
Live Batman cartoons.
2 hours on a bus is much more bearable when you’re reading a book that you can get into really easily.
One year with my gal,
And she is going to hate
Me haiku-ing it.
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.
Frost/Nixon is an
Interesting look at a
Historic event
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.
Lasagna followed
By The Duchess makes for an
Interesting night
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
The bearded gnome walks
Through the Garden of Dreams, and
Poops just everywhere.
I fell asleep at my desk today.
Clearly, my job is a mile-a-minute adrenaline ride.
Some days, a shower
Is the most fantastic thing
You can imagine.
Recorded voices
Are the worst phone menus in
The entire world
Trapeze artists and people that toss other people around with just their feet is an awesome way to spend a Wednesday night.
The only cooking
Show you will ever need is
Here on ZSN
Dear Barack Obama,
Welcome to office. Now don’t fuck it up.
Love,
America
The snow blankets the
Ground, covering cars, turning
Them into snow mounds
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.
The triceratops
At the museum goes by
The epic name: Cliff.
Cake ordered, candles and ice cream bought, dinner eaten. Now: zombies.
In the meantime, go watch this trailer.
Two Mag-Lites, two packs
Of batteries, and a single
Awesome looking knife
This weather is beginning to take a turn for the worse. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
The next time I see
That silly purposeful young
Pup, I will kiss sky
Mac & Cheese is of the gods, once restaurants get their hands on it.
No sleep, frozen feet
And I was one third of the
Snoring Room. But, fun!
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.
The cold air is sharp,
As if a thousand needles
Were dipped in some cold.
Edwin McCain throws a pretty good show. If you’re into his type of rock, go check him out when he’s in town.
The sidewalk is made
Entirely of ice and
Dangerous sloping
We’ve been brainstorming video ideas. When they’re done, there’s only one part of your seat that you’ll need.
I am drowning in
Literature, from Dickens
To Danielle Steele
And fall out of the fridge. The only way to travel.
We are getting a
New oven. But my heater
Will never work right.
Left 4 Dead is a ridiculously intense zombie game. Bio-Zombie is a ridiculously retarded zombie movie from Asia. They make an interesting pair.
It does not feel like
2009. Therefore, it
Is ‘08 Part 2
What’s that? A New Year’s Eve gathering with just a few friends, and a Trick Shot Beer Pong game? Count me in!
Steph comes home tonight!
After so many days, I
Am super happy!
Everything that happened with a video camera today was excellent.
Even better? Steph comes back tomorrow!
I want to wish my
Wonderful little Peep a
Quite Happy Birthday!
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!
A shirt was too small,
So I exchanged it and got
Two more for 4 bucks!
Today is Christmas
Eve, and now I’m excited
For tomorrow morn’.
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!
I don’t see why I
Have to go to work today.
No one will be there.
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. ![]()
Post Office closed at
1. I got there at 3. I
Don’t have good timing.
Looks like the snow storm they predicted actually happened. Left work at 3 and got a home-cooked dinner. I love Fridays.
Books, books everywhere
And my sugar levels are
Way too freakin’ low
The Snickerdoodles were a hit! 49 of ‘em baked, 45 ish eaten today (I had a few last night). Awesome.
My Snickerdoodles
Taste really good. That sounds more
Dirty than it should.
Know what’s fun? Watching a leak slowly grow in a ceiling, waiting for the tile to collapse onto books.
I love my job.
I have seen many
Christmas movies today. I
Don’t need any more.
All of our Christmas lights are up now. Far as I’m concerned, that renders the living room’s ceiling light obselete.
The key to keeping
College kids happy: candy,
Crayons and paper
All presents bought, three presents wrapped, and it is raining like crazy out there.
One day closer to the Christmas Movie Marathon.
Today at work is
The most boring day that I
Have lived through lately
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.
I now have most of
My Christmas shopping done. I
Hate Christmas shopping.
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.
Three bars, two beers, one
Kamikaze, two whiskey
And Cokes later: sleep.
Know what makes a good night? A great girlfriend, good pizza, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Muppets from Space.
Feeling tired from
A long week and an even
Longer November
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.
Do you like my new
Scarf? It is nice and quite warm,
And is real Cashme.
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.
