Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

Today I had my first Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee of the season. Pretty much the only thing I don’t like about summer is iced coffee. Not that I don’t like it…I just greatly prefer hot coffee. But when I’m out walking around under the hot sun, hot coffee just doesn’t seem to work really well. So I had to force myself to get iced.

I never understood how people could come to work at 9 a.m. in the dead of winter with an iced coffee. There’s something about getting a cup of scalding hot black coffee, cupping it in my hands, sipping it slowly, and waking up to the aroma. Iced coffee you just can’t do that with. Where’s the fresh coffee smell? And I never feel like I can drink iced coffee black. Other than the coffee issue, I’m so psyched it’s summery out. And I’m still hoping to bump into Rachel Ray in D&D one of these days…

On a side note, don’t you love when you go to a convenience store and the guy in front of you buys a 12 pack of beer, a pack of cigarettes, and 3 lottery tickets…have some vices, dude.

Pics from last week in lovely Brookline:

Pshhh as if we need Roger Clemens on the Red Sox. I’m sorry, but as far as I’m concerned, the Yankees can have him; they need plenty more help than we do right now. And I think they need a lot more help than Clemens can offer them. If we wanted him at all, I’m sure it was purely for historical reasons only.

Clemens gave up the chance to play on the Red Sox once again, and that is clearly his major loss.

Why why why would Tom Brady choose to go out in public wearing a New York Yankees hat?? I am extremely baffled by this. I saw the pictures on TV and almost threw up. I mean, come on dude, I realize you’re now living in New York in your multi-million dollar home with your supermodel girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean you have to become one of THEM. You’d think as a member of a Boston team, he’d be supporting other Boston teams. And if not, at least don’t be supporting Boston ENEMIES.

Yes Tom, you are an extremely attractive man. But NO man is attractive with a Yankees hat on his head.

I love that the Boston Herald “interviewed” team spokesguy Dr. Charles Steinberg and he said, “we know that Tom has an array of Red Sox caps from which to choose…But we fully respect that he needed to wear a suitable disguise for his own health and protection. We don’t doubt that he’s a card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation.” Ummm right. If you’re looking for a disguise, Tom, next time at least try a Mets hat.

If hell does exist, I’m pretty sure it’s the afternoon rush hour on the T during game days.

I don’t miss my commute.

School’s out for the summer! Why is it that whenever I finish anything major, instead of feeling a rush of relief and happiness, I feel horrible? I keep trying to tell myself I’m done and get myself psyched up, but it’s not really sinking in. I feel like all of the stress and pressure from the semester all cumulated into today and attacked me. Someone please tell me this is going to be an amazing summer…I need some friend time like whoa.

One more class and I’ll have my graduate degree.
