Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.

Oh, Homer, if only people had taken your example and thought twice about getting Lasik eye surgery.

I'm glad I never did this.

What a big doggie smile!

This is apparently because they are all so happy to get something free at Dunkin Donuts after the game. I can't even follow the point of the commercial because I'm so distressed by the dumber than dirt look on Papelbon's face. He just looks so stupid. Like he's trying to figure out something really hard, not act in a Dunkin Donuts commercial.

We have a compactor at the back of our building which is awesome because you can throw out your garbage any time you want, not only certain days of the week, plus it's kind of excellent to activate it and watch it smash all the garbage.

Anyway, but almost every time I go down there, someone has thrown in too much garbage without running the compactor or lazily put their garbage somewhere in the general vicinity but definitely not inside the compactor, or something similar. It's really ridiculous.

And here's a new one. It's one thing, I suppose, if it's very full. But just now I took garbage down there and it barely had anything in it and everything was all crushed down to the bottom - plenty of room. But there was trash strewn all over the ground and other parts of the compacter, not in it. The reason?

From what I can tell, everyone was too lazy to lift the rubber doors to place their garbage inside. I mean really, how lazy are people? That's kind of like being too lazy to open your own door so you can leave your apartment. WTF?

He looks like he's really got something to say!

But, luckily it's also a good reason for a bunch of us to head back out to Northampton and catch up, which I'm looking forward to.

In any case, on that note, I thought I'd share a fun photo from the good old days. Here I am trying to force Clementine to be in a picture with me after, if I remember correctly, also forcing her to put on lipstick. Yeah, we were cool like that. Please notice the Dr. Pepper on my desk as well as the lovely collection of cassette tapes. Excellent. Also, my ghost-like complexion is from the flash - I kind of look like a vampire.

Then, I took Billy out and discovered the smell is much worse outside the building. However, do you think I could locate the source of said smell? No.

It kind of smells like it might be a road being paved somewhere but I saw nothing all up and down Boylston or within my view of Park Drive so whatever it is, it smells so bad that without even being in my sight it's smelling up the whole neighborhood and the inside of my apartment.

Awesome.

Thanks, Boston!
