today's bipolar meter: 6.79 Benefit of not getting paid at work: being able to see Lord of the Rings at 10:00am with an unemployed friend (I'm not a total geek, the other shows were sold out). Drawback to not getting paid at work: not having any money. But it was fun, the movie rocked! |
Joss Whedon is developing a new series. The way that Buffy and Angel have been sucking this season, here's hoping it's good. |

today's bipolar meter: 5 Drew Barrymore and Tom Green are getting divorced after only 5 months of marriage. I don't get it. Five months people! Poor Drew, she has had such a sucky life. |
Guinness has developed a rocket widget for their bottles to ensure a good head on every sip. Sounds intriguing--snob that I am, I've never had a good Guinness outside of Ireland or England. |

today's bipolar meter: 4 Is Osama a dope fiend? I didn't watch the latest tape, but this article puts an interesting perspective on his jolly little crew. |
Off to road trip in my new fast little car. (I hope I don't see any dead animals on the back of trucks this time, but you never know.) I don't yet feel the love for it but I'm hoping this trip will be a bonding experience for us. It took me awhile to love the Miata too. But the V6 engine kicks ass! |

today's bipolar meter: 2.01 You know the economy is in bad shape when you are promised pizza for your holiday intern lunch and all you get are some tiny, soggy sandwiches. Is pizza now a luxury item? Love the headline: "Embattled stripper-turned-mayor cited for disorderly conduct." She's also been accused of showing her breasts in public. (I guess after she was elected. I have nothing against strippers, but I'm not sure I would be shocked if I voted for one and she ended up flashing her boobs later.) |
Another wonderful warning from our friends at the F.B.I. Now I'm no mother, but if the F.B.I. said there was a possible terrorist threat against schools in Texas, I would not send my child to school. I love how they tell us this stuff and then say "but you should go on with your normal lives." Nice way to cover your ass. |

today's bipolar meter: 1.8 I am officially losing my shit. I am never going to finish my grad school apps, never going to find a job to pay the rent, never going to find a topic for my research paper, never going to finish Christmas shopping for my 10,000 relatives, never going to understand my insurance, financial, or tax stuff, never going to not feel the need to move every three months, never going to get the stupid "l" key on my computer to stop sticking. Three weeks to go until I self destruct! |
But it's almost time for Lord of the Rings! I know, I'm a geek, but it's going to rock. |

today's bipolar meter: 2 Well my chickadees, I'm sitting here procrastinating instead of working on my grad school stuff. Next Friday is my last interview and then I'm on the home stretch. Yay. Because this is what I always wanted, right? This will solve all, right? I should cheer up, maybe I will be in a fiery car crash tonight in our first snowfall of the season. This will be the last car trip for my beloved baby car. Next week I will have to say goodbye--I will miss it so very much. There's nothing like driving by the sea in the summer with the wind whipping through your hair...but it's time to be PRACTICAL. |
I went on a movie binge yesterday (complete with the perfect movie snack: Twizzlers). Saw Ocean's 11--it was pretty entertaining and had lots of hotties in it but wasn't as good as I expected.
Also rented Ron Howard's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas which was absolutely horrible and boring and The Golden Bowl, which is good if you like sheep-and-corset movies (as my brother calls them), even though there weren't any sheep or corsets in this one. Movies seem to suck overall lately. Go see Monsters, Inc., it will make you happy. |

today's bipolar meter: 4 I'm not trying to be all bloodthirsty, but why should I feel sorry for someone who is a traitor? |
I've been looking for jobs in my new field, and they all seem to be in weird places. I guess I would rather be in a remote place in New England, than a remote place in the Midwest. |
|
Sunday, December 2, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 3 Sorry for the lack of updates, I took a little road trip to visit Cornell. Enjoyed the views of rusty cars, gun shops, and deer carcasses strapped to the back of trucks. I'm not sure I can see myself living up there... Do you ever feel like everything you have been working for was for nothing? |
I'm so glad the Red Sox owners are considering selling the team to the man who almost "killed baseball" in San Diego. Because that's what the team really needs. God, can SOMEONE give me some good news? |
|
Wednesday, November 21, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 My wonderful friend Catherine sent me a site for us unemployed masses. Definitely entertaining. |
I don't know if I can watch BTVS anymore. I can't believe Buffy and Spike got it on, it made me feel physically ill. She can't love anyone but Angel!
(See, there are good ways to procrastinate planning the rest of your life. Anyone know how to write a personal statement for grad school? |
|
Friday, November 16, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 Depressed, out of work, and low on cash? Your worries are over. Now you can get free Prozac online. |
Um, hello officer, was I speeding? What do you mean why are there 136 lobsters in my backseat? |
|
Thursday, November 8, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 6 I'm incredibly bored. Met a fellow intern who told me he'd been out of work for 1 1/2 years. If that happens to me, I will be in the crazy house. Hopefully it will be a nice crazy house, like the ones Zelda Fitzgerald was in. |
Lots of Hannibal Lecter wanna-bes out there today (not for the squeamish). See, there are things to fear more than anthrax. |
|

today's bipolar meter: 6 |
Why are all these people attacking Greyhound bus drivers? I mean honestly, what do they think they are going to accomplish? |
|
Friday, November 2, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5
Today is "yay me!" day. I had to write two different documents about what a great person I am (which I just love to do). I say, this job market is no fun. Now the employers make you do evil things like write the top three reasons you are the best candidate for the job. If I could, here's what I would write back:
The third one isn't true at all but there is nothing wrong with batting your baby blues to get things done. That may be anti-feminist and all, but you gotta get the upper hand somehow. |
I went to my favorite entertainment web site today and it was just gone. Then to add insult to injury, I was redirected to another page and immediately served two pop-ups. The web is dead. |
|
Tuesday, October 30, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 There's nothing like talking to someone at your old company about a job possibility, only to find out later that your brother is interviewing for the position of your boss's boss without telling you. Is the job market so bad that my own brother has to screw me over? |
Sorry, there's nothing interesting to link to. I've searched all over. |
|
Wednesday, October 24, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 Last night I saw one of the greatest musicals ever. I know there are many people out there who don't like ABBA, but it was so much fun. Everyone in the theater, and I mean everyone was dancing at the end. It made me so happy. |
I started my internship today. It was great to be out doing something again instead of obsessing about my stupid self. Now if only I was getting paid... |
|
Tuesday, October 23, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5 I am in full existential crisis mode. Does anyone out there know the meaning of life? I used to think my purpose was to have kids, but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it's like my friend says, we are all just hamsters spinning on a wheel with some being up above laughing at us. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. |
TV is so bad this season. The three geeks on Buffy are such a blatant rip-off of the X-Files Lone Gunmen. Joss, why have you forsaken us? |
|
Saturday, October 20, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 3 Oh no, I think I have BNS, no doubt exacerbated by the ludicrous amount of bored time I have on my hands. I tried putting a positive spin on the whole thing by saying how great it was to have quality time alone, but at this point I am so hating myself that I have no desire to spend any time with me. Do you think tequila is the answer? Maybe my drunk self would be better company. |
Someone has already registered ihatemyself.com. Damn. |
|
Thursday, October 18, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 75% of college women in 1965 said they would marry a man they didn't love if he fit their other criteria (third paragraph). 75%! Now, 94% of us expect our spouses to be our soulmates (whatever that means). No wonder we are all so screwed up relationship-wise. |
Lately I find myself reading Dr. Phil's advice in times of extreme boredom. What kind of relationship poisoner are you? I'm a passive warmonger.
I desperately need a job. It is so scary that I am linking to Oprah when she irritates the hell out of me. |
|
Tuesday, October 16, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 6 Every time I go outside I see the chemical response unit go by with sirens wailing. This anthrax scare has totally unhinged people. The terrorists are winning. |
I may be part of the failed dot-com world, but at least I never spent money on a Web degree. That would be even more depressing. |
|
Thursday, October 11, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 Finally broke down and bought the Old 97's CD. It is quite enjoyable. Also got the latest from Macy Gray which is good, but not as memorable as her first one. |
I had vowed to not watch Survivor this time around but then my friends invited me over for pizza and beer so I have succumbed. I guess if I drink enough beer it won't torture me too much. |
|
Wednesday, October 10, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 Pro-Taliban protestors in Bangladesh are carrying posters that show Bert from the Muppets with Bin Laden. They apparently pulled the pictures from the "Bert Is Evil" website--which I've always loved--without knowing who he was. It's sad to see a Muppet up there with Bin Laden, but oddly hilarious at the same time. |
Found another job possibility if the CIA and grad school don't work out: Geekcorps. (Thanks Catherine.) Going to Ghana to help set up websites sounds pretty good right now. |
|
Thursday, October 5, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5 The odds of me finding employment anytime soon aren't looking so good. Leaving my cushy job and jetting off to Europe suddenly seems stupid. Hindsight is 20/20. |
Went to Newport yesterday, very pretty town. Can't believe the money those people spent on houses they only lived in for 6 weeks a year. Imagine building a house entirely of marble--inside and out. |
|
Monday, October 1, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 2 Maybe the Navy will give me the direction I need in life. Plus, there's always the possibility that I will get to take part in WWIII. |
Just found out that one of my dad's friends is missing in the WTC, plus someone I went to high school with. I feel like the world is ending. Kind of glad that my dad isn't around to see this. |
|
Thursday, September 27, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5 After two people told me separately that I should join the CIA (not sure if this is a compliment or not), I've decided to apply to the CIA and grad school at the same time. The question is, do I have the "potential to be coerced?" |
If you are sick of getting urban legend emails about the WTC attacks, find out the truth here. |
|
Wednesday, August 29, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 3 I'm back in the States after a four-week trip to Europe. Saw lots of sights, ate lots of good (if weird) food, spent lots of money. But it was a good time. |
Now I am suffering from post-trip depression and also not-so-happy about the job opportunities out there. Why is it when I look for management jobs, all I get are postings for funeral directors? Is that really what it has come down to? |
|
Thursday, June 28, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 Had a good time on Tuesday at Brother Jimmy's. Haven't been there for years but it is always makes for an interesting night. Nothing beats a drink that comes in a fishbowl with a plastic alligator full of grenadine floating on top. Last night I went to my favorite Cajun restaurant in NYC, Great Jones Cafe. Once I found out that they make Dark 'n Stormys I knew I had to make one last trip there before my departure. Okay, now I sound like an alcoholic. My whole life does not revolve around alcohol, really. |
Fun at work - find your apartment building or house on these cool aerial maps. |
|
Tuesday, June 26, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 3 1/2 more days until I leave my job and this hot, sticky place called New York City. I will actually miss old N.Y.C. but I'm so excited to head up to the green hills of Vermont and the sandy beaches of Cape Cod. |
North Dakota wants to change its name to attract more tourists. Last time the state proposed this, people made so much fun of them that they had to drop it. Does the state not realize that history repeats itself? How could you not make fun of this proposal? |
|
Wednesday, June 20, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 In the midst of economic turmoil and an uncertain job market, I have decided to quit my job and leap out into the great black void. You can only be young and stupid once (although I seem to be a lot). |
There is an alligator in Central Park. |
|
Friday, June 15, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 It is so hot in the city. There is nothing like standing on the subway platform and thinking you are going to faint. The subway stations in D.C. are air-conditioned. Why is that the so-called greatest city in the world can't air-condition their subway platforms? |
Shocking news: Americans in their 20s have an overly romantic view of marriage. I knew I was onto something. |
|
Monday, June 11, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 So sad. Suck is probably gone for good. The web is dead. The monkeyfishing story might be a fake. I must have been smoking gullible drugs last week. |
Went to D.C. for the weekend. I like that city but it is too damn hot for me. Kind of puts a dent in my dreams to live in New Orleans. |
|
Friday, June 8, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 9 Okay, first Ironminds decided to take the summer off and now Suck. Is the big man upstairs trying to tell me that I should take the summer off too? I need something to read to pass the time. |
People in Florida used to fish for monkeys. This disturbes me on so many levels. |
|

today's bipolar meter: 9
|
This is the best deal I've heard of yet: laid off Guinness workers get free beer as part of their severance. |
|
Thursday, May 31, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 6 Those wacky Australians are calling themselves members of the Jedi religion on their census forms. I love Star Wars as much as the next person but not that much. They are almost as bad as the Trekkies. |
If I see one more of the X10's Amazing X-Cam2 pop-up ads I'm going to lose it. Who are these people anyway, and how can they afford to buy advertising on every damn site I like to read? Is it a secret porn site? |
|
Tuesday, May 29, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 4 Now you can E-ZPass your McDonald's. |
Finally saw Rhett Miller in concert. He was very good and very, very cute. The kid who opened the show--Ben Kweller--was incredible. I would marry him if he wasn't barely legal. |
|
Tuesday, May 22, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 2 I shouldn't complain ever again, this woman's newborn baby was eaten by a python. |
I'm starting to believe there is no such thing as "The One." Not in a negative way, but there are probably many people out there who can make you happy at different times in your life. It's more comforting to think that fate leads us all to the right path but it's time to seize the bull by the horns and take responsibility. Yeah. |
|
Monday, May 21, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 2 Entertaining article about banned words at top magazines. |
Life can be so so so sucky sometimes. |
|
Thursday, May 17, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5 I'm so ridiculously bored that I wasted 3 minutes doing this. |
My employers have stopped the free-Snapple-and-juice gravy train. What next? They take away our mousepads? Just lay people off already! I can't take the suspense anymore! |
|
Monday, May 14, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 Being afraid of math can cause you to make dumb math mistakes. Yeah, that's the reason. |
Sooooo, on Friday I got a new title at work but no more money. (All money is frozen right now--no promotions, no hires. I say if you are going to lay people off, just do it already!) My mom said that when she was first working they called this a TILOP--Title In Lieu Of Promotion. I love it. |
|
Tuesday, May 8, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 The Cape was wonderful, Catherine has posted some interesting pictures (I am too damn lazy). |
If all the layoffs aren't enough to get you down, check out how much money you could save by not living in New York. |
|
Friday, May 4, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 3 |
The only redeeming quality about today is that I will soon be heading to my favorite place on earth. |
|
Tuesday, May 1, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 London is kicking out the bird feeders in Trafalgar Square. Haven't they ever seen Mary Poppins? |
Remember when I said that going dancing on Friday was worth setting back my knee's recovery? Well, today they put me in a brace. |
|
Monday, April 30, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 6 A baby white squirrel was following me around my Mom's yard yesterday. It was obviously lost--kept crying and came up really close to me. I felt so bad for it. Who knew that there were albino squirrels? Or that people could do such odd things with them? I swear, I fear the midwest. |
Went dancing at Pyramid on Friday night. It was tremendously fun, even naysayer Catherine had a good time. Only drawback: I may have set back the rehabilitation of my injured knee. But it was worth it! (Probably.) |
|
Wednesday, April 25, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 The Red Sox are kicking ass. That makes me so happy. |
My former employers sure put out interesting memos (see bottom of article). So much for free thought. |
|
Monday, April 23, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5 It is wonderful when the weather is nice but not so much when you are stuck in a cubicle with no view of the outside world. |
Buffy is moving to UPN. I don't even know which channel that is. But my new favorite show has got to be BattleBots. (I knew I should never have gotten cable.) |
|
Tuesday, April 10, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 I have been very remiss in updating my pita. Sorry. |
I am really sick of all the TV repeats. It has been over a month since Buffy and Angel had new episodes. There's not much to see at the movies either, except I might have to go see Johnny in Blow. |
|
Friday, March 30, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5 The weather couldn't be much worse. Plus I'm going to be old in a few days. I really don't want to be old. |
Bermuda tonight! I'm so ready to settle down with a tall, cool Dark 'n Stormy.
I remember being obsessed with the Bermuda Triangle mystique when I was little, hope I don't get sucked in (unless that means spending the rest of my life on a semi-tropical island). Plus, I love that Barry Manilow song! |
|
Wednesday, March 28, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 Have you noticed that web sites have more and more annoying ads lately? I know everyone is desperate to make money, but if I see one more pop-up..... |
Find out what song was #1 on your birthday. Mine was John Denver's Sunshine on My Shoulders. Now I love John Denver and all, but that seems wrong. At least it could have been Take Me Home Country Roads or Leaving on a Jet Plane. |
|
Friday, March 23, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8.5 People are bidding thousands of dollars on supposed MIR wreckage. The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. |
Going back to Boston tonight, looking forward to being in a place where it's okay to wear fleece . |
|
Thursday, March 22, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 7 Interesting fact: The woman who gave Gumby and Casper a voice is the mom of Nellie from Little House on the Prairie. |
Wasn't too far off on my knee diagnosis, luckily I don't need surgery. But I do get to sign up for more physical therapy fun! |
|
Monday, March 19, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 6 Wiped out while skiing on Saturday and now I can't bend my knee, turn it, or straighten it all the way. I kept skiing after the fall but once I took my skis off, I couldn't walk. I can't see the doctor until Wednesday, so in the meantime I'm freaking myself out with my self-diagnosis: a medial collateral ligament tear. The web isn't always a good thing. |
Weird story about Russell Crowe's kidnappers. They apparently intended to chop off his fingers, one by one, until they got their ransom. There are some sick puppies out there. |
|
Friday, March 16, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 Spring seems to finally be here. Just finished reading Enemy at the Gates. Don't know if the movie will be any good but the book is fascinating if you are a history geeko like me. You may want to skip the cannibalism section--it's pretty graphic. |
McDonald's is opening a diner-style restaurant where they will serve meatloaf. I find this to be very odd. Do we really need another TGIF, Denny's, Hearth & Kettle, Applebee's, or my personal favorite, Bennigan's? |
|
Thursday, March 8, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 8 Going on vacation tomorrow! I can't wait for the beach. |
Cool article about a Buffy/Angel panel hosted by Joss Whedon and the "Angel" cast. Whedon talks about why he killed off Buffy's mommy. |
|
Friday, March 2, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 3 Sloooooooow week.
|
I can't believe they are canceling St. Patrick's Day celebrations in Dublin. Is nothing sacred? |
|
Monday, February 26, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 5 I finally got around seeing Star Wars: Episode 1 and I couldn't believe how bad it was. Not one of the characters was remotely likeable or interesting. And Queen what's her name had nothing on Princess Leia. What, are girls going to dress up in some giant kimono and start putting their hair up in those hideous wing thingys? Not that Leia's side buns/earmuffs were that attractive, but my Mom could still manage to put my hair up so I would look like her. |
Anyways, after that disappointment I had to go back and visit one of my favorite sites: Star Wars Asciimation. |
|
Thursday, February 22, 2001
today's bipolar meter: 4 I'm ready for winter to be over. I was trying to get on the subway today and I said "excuse me" to this guy on the platform who was in the way, he didn't move, I said it again and then pushed past him because the doors were about to close. He wouldn't let me by, pushed back and I had to shove him to get on. The platform wasn't crowded at all, I don't know what his problem was. The subway is such a microcosm of everything that's depressing about New York. |
So scary, this man is dressed like Peter Pan and he wants to find Tinkerbell. |
|
Tuesday, February 20, 2001
Today's bipolar meter: 5 Saw that Crouching Tiger movie and I don't really see what all the fuss is about. Sure, the fighting scenes were cool, but the flying stuff was over-the-top. People in the theater were laughing about it. And I didn't get the motivation for the younger woman at all, why she was all evil/good/evil. But at least it was better than the truly horrific Castaway. |
It's really depressing when you are all excited to go somewhere and then you don't. Especially when you are in a plane flying over the Atlantic, and the pilot comes on to tell you that you have to turn back because the plane isn't pressurizing. So then you are depressed and terrified. Needless to say, I never made it to London.
But life isn't all bleak. There is true entertainment available at Guess the Dictator/TV Sitcom Character. You pick a dictator/character, it asks you some questions, and guesses the person's name. Try one of the Smurfs. |
|
Friday, February 16, 2001
Today's bipolar meter: 8 Going to London tonight! |
Saw the Barenaked Ladies last night. They put on an incredibly entertaining show. I did feel about 95 years old but it was hilarious to watch all the younguns take their shirts off (the boys) and make out with each other. |
|
Thursday, February 15, 2001
Today's bipolar meter: 6 This man married his TV. He married a TV. No priest I've ever known would marry someone to a TV. If you want to keep up on the happenings on a TV show you rarely watch, Mighty Big TV has some decent episode recaps. (I never watch Dawson's Creek anymore but I wanted to find out what happened on the Joey-loses-her-virginity episode.) I know, I have a WB problem. |
50% of the longest airport delays in the country occurred with flights going in or out of LaGuardia. That's just embarrassing. |
|

Today's bipolar meter: 5 Happy hell day. I hate this stupid day. I don't know why, just something about seeing grown women dressed up in pink ankle socks and sweaters with big hearts on them. Even when you have a boyfriend it sucks because there's all this pressure and expectation. And in grade school you are expected to give Valentines to everyone in the class, even if they are your arch enemy or the nasty boy who used to trap you in that cement pipe thing and try to kiss you. I have to say my second worst Valentine's Day occurred when I was working for New Woman magazine (I won't even get into the worst one ever). Imagine an office of all women, all happily coupled, who spent 4 hours a day--every day for two weeks--talking about what they were going to do for the big night. Calling to make dinner reservations, giggling in their cubes. And then on hell day they all ran around screaming as they compared their monstrous, 1-800-FLOWERS Timeless Love bouquets. But I wasn't bitter or anything. Honest. |
Play with the Google heart. Mindless, but I found it entertaining.
Amy Fisher is pregnant by a so-called Joey Buttafuoco look-alike. That poor child. If you are feeling bitter today, read this if you are a woman, and this if you are a man. Principal bans V-day deliveries. Yay! One for the little people! |
|
Monday, February 12, 2001
Today's bipolar meter: 6 According to this Icelandic study, blondes earn less. |
Imagine walking to work and seeing a giant plastic Furby sitting in wait outside your office building's door, its staring, lifeless eyes watching you as you scurry past. As you turn away from the spooky giant, you see a yellow VW bug with a tail, ears, and fins pull up next to you.
No, I did not eat funny brownies this morning. It's just the damn Toy Fair. But I mean, is that really what I needed to see first thing on a Monday morning? |
|
Friday, February 9, 2001
Today's bipolar meter: 8 Thanks to Catherine for linking to my page. I know, it still needs a lot of work, but I'm hoping that it will be insane enough for everyone eventually. Read about this moronic couple who moved into a house renovated by This Old House. The best part is reading all the angry Bostonites ripping on the richies from Seattle. |
Just as an explanation, the whole bipolar meter came about when I was working at the killed-by-Rodale publication known as New Woman. I can't even begin to go into the story of that ordeal, but needless to say, it wasn't the happiness time of my life. So I read in some schlocky women's magazine that you should chart your moods everyday to see what patterns emerged blah blah blah--I have no idea, just that I was really moody and bored so I started doing it. Back then the bipolar meter was between 1-5, and it never got above 3. But one day, I came in and held up my hand with all my fingers out and Holly and Catherine were so amazed that I was at a 5 that they printed me out this giant #5 to hang on my cubicle wall. I know nobody really cares about the story but it made me happy to tell it. |
|
Thursday, February 8, 2001
Today's bipolar meter: 7 It's Survivor night. The show makes me so agitated that I'm determined never to watch it again, but I always do. Plus, it's a good reason to avoid studying for the GREs. |
OH NO, they are cancelling Baywatch! I know, it was a terrible show, but I used to watch it all the time when I was in college. Some thing to do with a leftover David Hasselhoff/Knight Rider fascination.
Speaking of which, when I went to Finland in high school, the family I was staying with had this huge collection of David Hasselhoff records. That's when I started to believe that "he's big in Europe" thing. |
|
Tuesday, February 6, 2001
Today's bipolar meter: 6 They are putting public bathrooms in Boston. Not sure how I feel about them. Sure, it sucks having nowhere to go, but makes me think of nasty port-a-potties at the Harpoon Brewfest. |
(Aside from that, the Harpoon Brewfest is incredibly fun. Last time I went I ended up eating this enormous bratwurst--or some sort of whitish wurst-type sausage--with sauerkraut and onions.) |
|
