Jenn Martinelli Blogging in Boston

We are finishing our dinner at Au Bon Pain at the Copley Place mall. It's nice if we can meet somewhere in the city and have some cheap food for dinner before we go home... Then we can just get to doing whatever chores we have, etc. Without having to mess with cooking and dishes, etc. Of course back in our etravagent days in Brighton, we'd regularly get take-out from Bugaboo Creek and The Stockyard and just generally be ridiculous. I wish I had all that steak dinner money back right now! Oh, well. Live and learn I guess.

I cannot heap enough insults on this organization, so I won't even really try. Please watch the ridiculous video they have up on their site. It's ludicrous.

I can't help it, I'm not rational in the face of this stupidity. I hope all these people have horrible lives full of suffering. Maybe they will do us all a favor and not contribute to the gene pool, though based on their obsession with marriage producing children that's probably unlikely.

Isn't the sad thing that people who are awful and stupid seem to not only have kids but to have too many kids, while people who know better choose to have few or none? In a few generations this planet will be a total loss. Glad I won't be here to see it.

People are disgusting. I, for one, do not pee on the toilet seat when I go to the bathroom in a public restroom (or at home either, just for the record). Apparently many women do. And even better, they leave it behind for the next person to find, perhaps by sitting in it. Now I don't know about all you other women out there - maybe you DO like to sit in other people's pee. I would guess that this is not the case, however. So why do you think anybody wants to sit in yours? I cannot comprehend what people are thinking when they do this. I guess they're not thinking, and that's my answer.

Hey, maybe I'm missing something. Maybe 90% of the women in the world grew up with some kind of toilet maid that came in and hosed down the whole bathroom every time they used it, I don't know. But I for one did not grow up this way, and therefore, have learned to go to the bathroom without peeing on the seat. (Hint: it's pretty easy since girls can sit down to pee.)

Until the rest of the world can learn this great skill, I advocate that every public restroom should institute some version of a self-cleaning toilet. Either like the public coin-operated kind put up by Wall in Boston, or the kind with the plastic seat cover that is destroyed and replaced every time someone uses it like I saw in an airport somewhere... maybe Cincinnati... maybe Knoxville... or else hey, maybe someone wants to invent a disposable toilet. Or lastly, maybe Americans should learn to use the bathroom the Japanese way.
