Hey, everybody! I’m in Boston… for like seven hours.

Friday, August 31st, 2007

I purposely didn’t get a lot of sleep the last two nights in hope that I would be able to sleep a bit on my overnight flight. Unfortunately, the early morning flight from Cleve to Boston is barely over an hour. Anyways, I’m tired, I’m sober and now I have to wait until noon for [...]

First Day Antics and Anxiety

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

Remember the first week of spring semester? You know, where I sat in the wrong classroom for 15 minutes until realizing I was not in organizational communication? First days, for me and for whatever reason, can never go off without a hitch… or a major fuck-up on my part. After sketching my schedule on my [...]

We’ll just categorize this as “More Stupid Things Mel Could Do on Campus”

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

My classes went pretty smoothly. I already skipped one upon discovering there was an “online version” only to get online to register and find it’s full. First big M-Fing yeah. Sorry, teach and see you Thursday, I guess. Dammit. The good thing is when I left, there was still signs of daylight and it didn’t [...]

School days, school days, breakin’ all the rules days… that’s how it goes, right?

Monday, August 27th, 2007

While my head wants to remain firmly planted up my ass and tries to dispel the vision of  (still, un-purchased) textbooks, reality has once again caught up. School is back-in-session today and my fall schedule is certainly not for the happy hour regular! I surely antagonize with the white-winged creature to my left shoulder, where [...]

PRG stands for “Pretty Rad & Great” right?

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Never mind those nasty rumors you may have heard about one certain Clevelander named Mel traipsing through the streets of downtown Boston on a jolly holiday.

The final airline code of the day is PRG — translation: Prague. Booked, confirmed (only after minor “Fraud Alert” complications with my bank).  BTW, the following was the BEST part [...]

East side vs. West side

Monday, August 20th, 2007

While you were being bitten by a cat named Curtis, I was enjoying what’s left of this sad, sad summer. Nowhere to really go Friday night, other than stay in and enjoy my Netflix selection o’ the week (”Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” — yes, only the 18th time I’ve seen it), seeing as how [...]

Knock, knock. Who’s There? Jehovahs… I forgot the punchline.

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Today, I’m going to blab about a few things from  my mailbox. First, to Victoria’s Secret. Thank you for all the fantastic sales catalogs you bombard me with on a weekly basis. No thanks to the HUGE tittied women in FULL COVERAGE brasiers on your latest edition. When you start making bra sizes for women [...]

Why don’t you do it, like some other men do?

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

While you were still in your closet trying to figure out what wedges match perfectly to your undergarments, I was once again out-and-about finding some newbies to corrupt.

The powerhouse restaurant has re-emerged for only, like, the eighth-millionith time since TGIFriday’s shut its doors, to a new outdoor hotspot, Cyrus. While no particular fan in Shooters [...]
