2010: My God! It’s Full of Stars!
I am of the opinion that there are three days of the year when one can wear whatever the fuck one wants without being harangued for it: Halloween, your birthday, and New Year’s Eve.

The Great Cat Shit Roundup
So I brought a cat home from the Standish Humane Society this weekend. She’s a tiny wisp of a thing, a one-year-old Russian Blue mix (a great breed for folks with cat allergies, if I may add) with a teeny-tiny meow but a big job to do – my apartment has a mouse problem.

On Dressing For the Frozen Wastelands
Boston was just treated to its first snowfall of the season, and it has frozen over everything. This is my favorite time of year in terms of the view; this town was made to have an icy layer over it. Unfortunately, it also means pulling on my boots and attempting to half-slide, half-walk down the hill where I live whenever I want to leave the house. ♠ Continue reading…
