Although there were definitely some pigs next door to us on Beacon Hill, the trend continues in our new neighborhood.
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?
Important notices
Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.

Many of you knew or knew of Billy. We miss him a lot but his memory lives on, especially thanks to this blog.
