Attaboy, Luther!

The Upper Crust....always entertaining!

Forget Robert Pattinson or whatever his name is...these are the sexy vampires I want hanging over my bed!

 

(Crappy camera phone shot of this week's Boston Phoenix...hilarious!) All joking aside, I adore The Raveonettes and am really looking forward to their upcoming new CD next month.

"Uh, it's kind of like a seed..."

 

Odd decor at the Friendly Toast in Cambridge, MA...an awesome breakfast joint.

There's a person that I only know through the book site GoodReads. I have never actually had a conversation with this person. She randomly sent me a friend request one day and I accepted it, noticing she had an interesting (to me) reading list and that our tastes in books were remarkably similar. I regularly see her reading updates and always marvel at how a stranger I've never met or talked to can be on the same wavelength, and quite literally on the same page as me. I find cool books from scanning her list, and I've noticed from time to time she's added some of my books to her "to read" list as well.

Recently her booklist has changed a little in tone...books on coping with divorce suddenly started appearing. And today, I received an e-mail update from GoodReads saying she had added a book on cooking for one. I couldn't help but feel saddened. It isn't really my place to say anything to her, it isn't my business and we have never exchanged a word, only book lists. But I wish I could say, whoever you are, wherever you are...I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I suppose there is the possibility that she was looking at/finding books for someone else, perhaps a close friend or relative, but somehow, I just know. And I feel bad.

Of course, life goes on and I imagine her list will probably change again sooner or later. Life has more than one chapter, after all...I can only wish her well, and hope her story has a happy ending.

I am feeling frustrated that every time I try to do a regular post here, I get an error message.

 

This laptop bag is a little expensive for what it is, but I love the thought. The illustration of the old school manual typewriter is awesome.

Hate to say it, but I think I've seen every one of these offenses at my gym!

 

I almost don't dare ask...but what's the worst offense you've ever seen at yours?
