Q: What do a pen, a nail, a drill bit, a bobby pin, two screws, a random plastic thing, 20 cents in change, and a used lollypop stick have in common? A: They are all items I found in between my floorboards while cleaning last night. The items in question, and the floorboards. Another fun [...]

John Lennon slept here
And Yoko Ono, too. Turns out my landlady was friends with them, and at one point, they stayed at the farm, in the house attached to my cottage. I have been told this fact at least 15 times by various people. I was told it while I was signing my lease, when I came to [...]

Wednesday
All day yesterday, I could have sworn it was Wednesday. At any point from the time I woke up in the morning until I was corrected that evening, if you asked me I would have told you it was Wednesday. Wanting to get the work in my cottage done before the weekend, this time was [...]

Burning the Midnight Oil
I sacrificed my steadfast 8 hours of sleep rule tonight to get some heavy duty work done in the cottage tonight. So I will post, and post quick. One of the nifty quirks of my cottage is that the walls in my closet are either paper thin or not insulated properly, and leaking some major [...]

First post from the cottage!
Yeay! My internet works! It’s just slightly faster than Jonathan’s connection, and any other slowness is probably due to my 3 year old iBook. These things have shorter lives than mayflies. Speaking of, I should go check on my iPod, it’s been sitting idle since the move, and in the past week has probably become [...]

The cable guy is coming to hook me up to the world wide web of bloggers, homemade encyclopedia writers, pornographers, and people looking to make their own bomb. I no longer will have to rely on the good graces of Jonathan, the guy with free [...]

Prenup, prenup, we want prenup!
Money is the thing foremost on my mind right now. It feels like it’s always going out without going in especially in recent days since I’ve moved. New York City has taken its half of my money in our recent divorce, mostly in the guise of Con Ed, Verizon, and that security deposit which is [...]

Romance and shoe spray in the air
What’s more romantic than going bowling on Valentine’s day? Nothing, I tell you! That’s why Birmingham, two of his friends and I spent our evening at Hoe Bowl, some of the best entertainment po-town has to offer. (The guys standing outside the Holiday Lanes sign) The first game, I scored 89 points, which would be [...]

Who are you?
There are some of you who read this blog who are wondering what the deal is with the names all of a sudden. Taking a cue from my blogging inspiration, Madge, I have decided to make my blog anonymous. Even though most of my readers are family and friends (at this time…) I realize that [...]

Just like dinner at my family’s house
Those of you familiar with my old blog know that last week I had a craving for Olive Garden, a departure for my love of all things local and non-corporate. However, when we got there the wait was an hour and a half. No craving or compromising of moral values is worth that, so we [...]
