(OK, not today, but yesterday…)
I learned that Shady McS may not be that shady, and he may or may not be too hot for me. Regardless, I need to figure out a new nickname. He flew into town last night, and asked what my plans were. Then he met up with me and the bloggers [...]
I’m sure most of you with blogs realize how annoying it is when you spend a decent effort in creating a post (complete with links), only to have the computer crash — or worse, WordPress not save it — no matter how many times that “last saved/edited” time stamp comes up in the sidebar. *sigh* [...]
My favorite of holidays is passed, and I’m left to ponder another year of suicidal thoughts as result of turkey and holly berries. Kill me now, Christmas.
There were a few awesome highlights of the past week. Thursday was the Halloween bash and cover band concert at The Beachland with Addicted to Vinyl and CB. I [...]
Enough of being nice, right? Lucky for you, I have a few that I need to call out from my Halloween weekend. On with the hootchie Halloween pics and douchebags!
First, this night:
Bier Markt was quite fun. Until this random (undressed) douche came up and started talking to the three of us. I wandered away looking [...]
Wanted to remind everyone that Derek Hess & Kent Smith will be at Joseph Beth Booksellers at Legacy Village tonight to sign “Please God, Save Us.” Unfortunately, I will be on the wrong side of town today to say hello.
Go out and give some Cleveland love.
And pray for Esteban, for he has dead spots on [...]
FAIL.
My attempts to remember plans have failed (remember how I mentioned my brain has turned to mush by stress?). Good thing traffic didn’t hold me up after work on Friday, as I had to catch the limo in muther-truckin Brecksville at 7 (made it there by 7:20-ish). We started off at Boneyard, where I lusted [...]
Boss’ loft party. Loftworks is a cool fucking place. And I look hot, of course.
The Doctor is hot too, even with all that “blood” all over him. But I’m fairly certain he has a girlfriend. Why? Because some chick pulled him away just as our conversation warmed. And their costumes kind of matched. [...]
You know you’re from Cleveland when… Right? Fucking Sweetest Day. It annoys me. My favorite Sweetest Day night out was a couple of years ago, and consisted of me and three good friends having an awesome dinner at the now-closed Alfonso’s in Kamm’s Corner. The table beside us was another four-some of older women (senior [...]
I realized last night through a different set of conversations that I have had a lot of shit happening: tumor-like bug bites, dates, shots and scalpels, waiting rooms… another “Only Mel” run-down. The life is glamorous, no?
My desk calendar fucking hates me as much as my body. I wish I could post a picture of [...]
taurus (Apr. 21st-May 20th)
Don’t even think about staying home, curling up with a good book and going to sleep early. You’ll have enough time for rest when you’re dead. In the meantime, take a healthy bite out of the big juicy peach of life, turn it up to 11, party like it’s 1999, carpe diem, [...]
I was so happy that I had plans with my other M on Saturday to take my mind off otherwise awful events.
My afternoon was all about Cleveland! First stop was a trip to the West Side Market. I bought some tomato-basil hummus, cheese curds, chorizo, a beautiful eggplant, asparagus, baby tomatoes, fresh green onions, a [...]
While I’m left to my own devices attempting to figure out where in the world I gained a hangover through a glass of wine and a drink, here’s a brief hit into my whirlwind days of happy hours.
Apparently I needed to make up for being permanently attached to my couch (read: bathroom floor) all day [...]
Because I make the most awesome of decisions while intoxicated, I figure it would be perfect to do one or more of the following:
a) Give myself The Worst Ever Hangover, which prevented me from any and all tailgating activities ALL DAY long on Sunday.
b) Pass along my blog AND phone number to a Plain Dealer [...]
OK, now that I’m over feeling depressed over my current state of personal real estate, we can move on to more important things, like alcohol.
Before and after last Friday’s NIN concert, I paid my respects in bar tabs at Boneyard, Flannery’s pre-show. If I may mention living arrangements again, the Gateway District is still one [...]
The Nine Inch Nails concert at the Q Friday night definitely goes into my Top 5 List of All Time concert experiences. Just. absolutely. fucking. incredible.
Our seats were right of stage (thankfully, since I’m just too old to be moshing in general admission anymore) in the club level. Thinking that NIN would go on around [...]
I have great friends. Good times, bad times, drunk times, they always lend a warm heart, an open ear and sometimes, a tasty beverage. I get a text last night during my Toast to the Trail event with an offer of a FREE ticket to see Nine Inch Nails tonight at the Q. Words cannot [...]
I’m either too hungover or too tired for a full weekend recap, especially being that it’s already Wednesday, but here’s a little run-down of some of the shit I’ve been up to in Cleveland:
My friend came in from Columbus on Saturday. It was the perfect opportunity to eat at Luxe. I started off with a [...]
I was so excited this weekend for a beautiful Saturday morning for a long bike ride. I hate when a week or so passes, and I have no spare time to get out. Not unlike all my other trips, this was equally as adventurous. I had two main points of interest: Great Northern Mall [...]
I was uber-spasmatic after going to watch Monty Python’s Meaning of Life at Cinema at the Square last night. I laughed my ass off non-stop, that I was crying. Gosh, good fun. I will sing the Penis Song and the Milky Way bit all weekend.
I had a few more winds left in me after the [...]
I was really excited to meet a couple of my most-read Cleveland bloggers this weekend for dinner and fun at Bar Cento, courtesy of plum-lover Alexa. In attendance were Alexa, Allison, Todd and myself, of course.
Dinner, obviously was fantastic! I was probably overly salivating at the idea of either bleu cheese OR eggs on pizza [...]
