I Really Should Have Moved That Tee-Shirt First

I Really Should Have Moved That Tee-Shirt First So I was exchanging Christmas decoration photos and video with my friends, and this is what I sent, you guys. I snapped the pic, sent it to our chat, and then I saw the tee-shirt Joey got from his friend at work, draped on the chair right there. Doh! 🎅🎄🤶 "Merry Christmas! Fuck off!"

HAPPY SAINT NICK'S FEAST DAY! Our Only Klingon Saint!

HAPPY SAINT NICK'S FEAST DAY! Our Only Klingon Saint! Y'all, it is the Feast Day of our only Klingon saint! Here's the deal...when I wrote the post titled "Smile When You Bless The Gagh!" in order to explain how I am sure that Santa is definitely a Klingon, I hadn't realized that many other me's agree! So here's an illustration by graphic artist Brandon Carr that pretty much nails it. Don't you just love it when you find your fellow travelers?

Allston Christmas (*actual)

Allston Christmas (*actual) The tree is up at Jackson Mann! I think it gets all gussied 'n lighted up this weekend. The school kids make ornaments, the city puts lights on and there's usually some kind of lighting ceremony. Me and Joey attended one year when Mayor Menino was still kicking around (I liked him). So this means the Harvard Ave lights are about to flick on for the season. I'll go picture-taking next week. I love Christmas in Rock City! 🎄 *Note. T hi…

Holiday Party Planning Tips

Holiday Party Planning Tips with Joan Crawford. "...I always add a splash of vodka to everything ."

"Lights please!"

🎅 Parents believe their kid believes  in Santa  approximately *3.7 years longer than the kid actually believes in Santa.  The kid keeps it going,  but only because they just can't bear  to ruin the fun for their parents.  This is not bad news, it's good news,  because it means they understand  the real joy of Christmas. 💟 *Not an actual statistic

The Star Wars Holiday Special : Merry Gen X'mas

The Star Wars Holiday Special : Merry Gen X'mas Long ago in a galaxy we 40-somethings refer to as "childhood," we built a cherry Kool-Aid world with rad high tech toys like Lite Brite, Etch-a-Sketch, and Slinky...a popular (*cheap*) birthday present. Imagine every one of us rug rats fighting over a toy you play with on the stairs . We made our own fun, too. Get a pair of tube socks and you could slide across the linoleum, or shuffle out some sweet static on the shag carpet. I'm …

It Was An "I Want Yule" Party

It Was An "I Want Yule" Party On Saturday afternoon, The I Want You opened for the Weisstronauts' annual holiday bash. Joe and I took the opportunity to host a lovely after party. An "after party" that starts around dinnertime? Perfect. These days, that is about my speed. That's not an "aging scenester" thing...yes, I'm aging but even when I was the right age to head out to someone's basement at 3am after band load-out, I didn't. I pr…

Santa Is A Klingon (Smile When You Bless The Gagh!)

Santa Is A Klingon (Smile When You Bless The Gagh!) Some are born dorks. Some achieve dorkness. Some have dorkness thrust upon them. Today on Deep Space Nine (Netflix), Worf told everyone that the legendary Klingon warrior Kahless had said "Great men do not seek power, they have power thrust upon them." I yelled, "That was Shakespeare, mofo!" Then I messaged Joe this outrage. He was at work. So he said, "I'm gonna go find some lunch." What he meant by that is, &q…

Cardullo's Has Torrones!

Cardullo's Has Torrones! Do you know this box? For the un-initiated, this is a box of Italian nougat candies. They come in lemon, orange and vanilla. In our house, mom placed them on the Christmas tree along with the candy canes and popcorn balls. Torrone is individually boxed. I used to wrap the individual boxes (after I ate the candy) in bits of wrapping paper because they were just the right size for the Barbie Dreamhouse.
