Hot Chocolate Tour

Some may predict the future by the gathering of tea leaves in the bottom of a cup, but I’m planning by means of marshmallow constellations bopping around a cup of steaming hot chocolate. The following is my evil plan to attempt any feelings of warmth for the holiday season.  For a cozy romantic holiday weekend, start with a hot mug in an old suite at The Glidden House. (I mentioned their Tour de...

The Pumpkin Coma

Oooh, I’m back, bitches! With an early dismissal Wednesday and a no-go-to-the-office Friday, this has been quite a fun mini-weekender. Now that I have to play catch-up on all that fun work I missed, here’s a Thanksgiving break run-down: a) I was able to spend majority of my time away with my man (serious kudos to my nervous cigarette habit that kicked back into high gear during the...

Cat maaaaaan…

I do declare it is time for another installment of EX-ploitation.  I recently relayed this story to my man in all its hilarity, so I felt it needed some internet sharing. My loves, I introduce you to Sean*, aka the Cat Man. In my early 20s, I returned to live with my mother for a couple months awaiting a new apartment opportunity back  on the west side o’ town. After enduring a horrendous case of...

Mouth? Meet the ground!

OK, for all you “Criminal Minds” fans out there reading — and those that have nothing better to do at work right now — did you see the ending of last night’s episode? Holy. Crap. My mouth seriously stayed open for a full three minutes until next week’s preview reminded me of what I just saw. This was the first in a LOOOONG time I was completely in shock by a television...

Is it because I smell pretty?

In an ever-entertaining world of even mundane activities, I have a fun blurb about my oil change experience this a.m. I brought my sweet O.C. (affectionally-named, save only for the irony), to Mr. John Lance this morning (where the hell was the coffee??). Well, 45-minutes into a quickie/cheapie well-over-5,000-miles-since-the-last-one (and after glaring eyes from the many wide-eyed female patrons, wtf, yo?...

Baltimore 2007

While driving into Baltimore, I realized how awesome it would have been, had I remembered to pack my “Muck Fodell” t-shirt and pose for some fancy photos near the Ravens stadium. Ready folks? Mel’s first trip to Baltimore. Baltimore is oddly familiar to Cleveland in many senses – I.M. Pei-esque building (think Rock Hall), but Cambridge Seven-designed Baltimore aquarium. (without...

O.C. via e-mail

Ohio City in an email Folks, my Friday tip off to you. Recently, someone sent an email requesting info for an out-of-town damn Bostonian. Wanting something different to do in the city and unfamiliar with much of “What to DO?!” being an ex-Philly-Chicago-an, I replied with some email suggestions when she asked about Touch and Ohio City. Yeah, Touch is tons of fun — especially if they...
