So basically.... we decided that we needed to have one of these things so that we could empty our thoughts onto the computer. We have a lot of thoughts so... bare with us...we can be intense at times.

Sisters Are Nice
Jeanne Dunn, my mother (to the far right), has two sisters shown here.. Ellen in the middle, and Ann to the left. When they were little they lived in Arlington, MA on a steep hill called Quincy Street. They each learned how to ride a bike by pushing eachother down the hill with no training wheels. This was with or without the bikerider's consent. Have in mind this hill is at least at a 60 degree angle and narrow. Needless to say they hit alot of cars. Apparently, according to the three, there were alot of screaming, crying, cuts and scrapes during the process.

Hottest Reporter on Tv.. besides me of course..
Susan Hendricks is CNN's weekend news anchor and, I think, the hottest reporter on national tv. Every Saturday when I enter WAGM I am greeted by her lovely face on the LCD screen in the front entrance. She joined the network in 2002 as a fill-in anchor - but I mean, look at this face..its obvious why they promoted her full-time in '05. This woman is not only gorgeous but articulate and well-spoken - she puts the CBS people I have to deal with on the server every night (Sirgany, Mallika, EW AND D'AGATA, ..etc..) to shame! Hendricks is a graduate of ASU and has worked at two other stations before hitting CNN headquarters in Atlanta.

VH1's Christmas Trees: Behind the Pine Needles
You buy them, decorate them, and water them - but whats the real story behind the fragrant Christmas Tree standing in the corner of your living room... Here are some intersting facts -
* The first decorated Christmas Tree was in Riga, Latvia in 1510.
* Christmas trees have been sold commercially within the US since 1850.
* At one point the government banned a Christmas tree decoration- this was tinsel, because it contained lead. Now, it's made of plastic.
* 32.8 million Christmas trees were purchased in the US in 2005.
* Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states including Hawaii
* In 2002, 48% of all Americans had fake Christmas trees - ew.
* Thomas Edison's assistant, Edward Johnson, came up with the idea for electric lights on Xmas trees in 1882.
* Boston's Christmas tree at the Pru has been donated by Nova Scotia in gratitude for the city's help in offering supplies to them when a ship exploded follwing a collision in Halifax, Nova Scotia harbor, that leveled part of the city killing thousands.
A Thanksgiving at the Boudreau's - 1920's.
James Frederich Boudreau - this is my grandfather's name. He was born in 1918, just shy of the end of WWI. Living in Cambridge MA., he grew up with sixteen other siblings, eight of which were hockey-crazy brothers.. Although the Boudreau's were dirt poor, it didn't stop them from going all out for the holiday in there own "special" way. For Thanksgiving Mr. Boudreau would purchase a live turkey two to three weeks in advance and tie it to a pole in the basement. They would feed the bird to fatten it up and eat it on Thanksgiving Thursday. But.. this bird suffered serious abuse from my grandfather and his brothers. Dressing it in limited hockey goalie pads, they would place it in front of a net and shoot pucks at it for hours on end after school. My grandfather said they'd also wrestle it to the ground and beat it up. Now.. I think this is fucking hilarious, but I'm sure whoever reading this is appaulled and now thinks I'm a sick moron. Haha does it make you feel any better that I don't care? Anyways, my grandfather told us this entertaining story at the dinner table one Thanksgiving years ago, and so I thought I'd share it with our bloggers, if we have any anymore since Christina has dropped off the face of the Earth.

I'm sure everyone remembers this classic episode! My Little Pony Land is under threat of Catrina, the horrible storm-brewing withc that hates the ponies and is going to wreak havoc down on their utopia. She planned on producing flash floods and high winds of over 150 mph to level the pony castle and of course, to kill all the ponies, grundels, and those lousy kids that keep jumping through dimensions from Earth and hanging out with the ponies. Catrina was sure to make some huge ocean waves as well that could reach high enough to catch the flying ponies as well. Unfortunately, Catrina wasn't able to follow-thru with her plan - the ponies offered up the head of their dragon friend, Spike, as a peace offering.

Here Ye Here Ye!
Today I am celebrating because tomorrow I will be reunited with Julia after what seems to have been a lifetime but was probably more like 2 or 3 weeks. I have been in a state of incomprehensible depression as the gaping hole in my heart continues to grow as Julia becomes more and more distant. But alas, she returns to save me from the end. We will, once again, haunt the streets of Boston with evil laughter and horrific shrieks. We will gallivant around like royalty and raise holy hell among those who question our authority. Step down, Boston, cuz Julia and Christina are coming out tomorrrrrrrowwwwww.

Killing a bunch of Amish kids...how low can you go?
I mean...seriously. Some crazy milkman dude comes flying into an Amish community, storms into a school, kicks all the boys and teachers out and then starts shooting the girls. What the hell was wrong with that man? Amish people are about the most non-violent and least attention-seeking crowd in the USA. They don't even want their pictures taken. Yea, it's a little weird, the way they dress and the strange old school English speak but hey, that's no need to get pissy. What kind of a grudge can you hold with a little Amish girl? What kind of mental case psycho does something like that? It's so lame.
And what about the tough-guy milkman career? Couldn't he have picked a different profession...something a little more heart wrenching. There go the stereotypes of happy-go-lucky milkmen delivering delicious farm-fresh milk in those nice glass containers.
I'm so happy that dude killed himself because that crime deserves nothing less than the death penalty. Killing those little girls was like taking a bunch of puppies, putting them in a box and shooting them. How wrong.
So all I can say about mr. milkman is good riddance. I hope he's pushing a 50 ton boulder up an endless mountain in hell.

Accidental Killers - did you know these celebs have been repsonsible for someone's death?
Matthew Broderick - We all love Ferrish Bueller, but did you know that soon after filming the movie Broderick and co-star Jennifer Grey (Jeanine - Bueller's sister) were driving in a rented BMW in Northern Ireland while on holiday when Broderick's car slid across the middle lane head-on into another car driven by a 60 year old woman and her 30 year old daughter? Grey escaped with minor injuries, however Broderick had to be cut-out of his car and suffer head lacertations, broken leg, and collapsed lung. Less lucky were the two victims in the other car that were killed instantly. How much did Broderick get fined? $175 for "careless driving." Wow.
Laura Bush - She smiles, decorates the White House for Christmas, and wears outfits that match so well it makes you want to vomit. But, did you know that shortly after Laura's 17th birthday she ran a stop sign and collided with another vehicle, ironically driven by a highschool friend of hers? Bush, then Laura Welch, and her passenger were taken to a nearby hospital and treated for minor injuries. The passenger in the other car was killed upon impact. Bush wasn't charged with anything for some reason, and according to sources all the paper work pertaining to the case has dissapeared. Hmm.

Cecelia Cichan - Remember her?
Don't ask me why plane crashes fascinate me. Maybe its because they are so rare.. Today I was researching Northwest Airlines Flight 255 that crashed in April of 1987 shortly after take-off from a Detriot, MI airport on-route to Phoenix, AZ. There were 157 people on board, and 156 of them were killed when the plane crashed due to electrical problems. The ONLY survivor of this horrific plane crash was a 4 year old girl name Cecelia, whom rescuers found still in her seat at the crash site. As the story is said to go, Cecelia's mother wrapped herself around her daughter in the chair to protect her from the post-crash fire. The girl survived, however her mother, father, and 6-year old brother didn't. Sent to live with grandparents after the accident in Brimingham, AL, Cecelia (aggressively protected from the media by family) grew up a devout Catholic, and just graduated from UAL with a degree in psychology in spring, 2006. Imagine being the only survivor of a plane crash claiming the lives of everyone else on board? I couldn't believe this story. I wonder what she remembers from that morning in 1987, if anything at all? Does it have a continuing effect on her life? This case is a textbook example of someone who is blessed.

Well.. okay ONE more Lookalike..
Remember that movie The Secret of Nimh? With all the rats and the rosebush and stuff? I know, I was confused by the storyline too - but as we can see here by the visual aid that one, Christina Jeffrey, was actually used as inspiration for the creation of the main female protagonist of the movie, Mrs. Whatsherface the mouse that saves the day or some shit. For days, artists carefully rendered the drawings for this character - trying to create as close of a resemblence as possible to their human model.. Their creation? A masterful example of accuracy and art!

Since we're doing look-alike's....
Ok so....... if you don't see it at first... look harder.... now do you see it? Julia's 2nd cousin, Jason Mewes, more commonly known as Jay of "Jay and Silent Bob" certainly has her striking looks. They may as well be brother and sister given their similar facial features as well as their wonderfully entertaining senses of humor. Don't ask me why Julia hasn't called her cuz for free tickets to his new movie. I hear it's quite comical.

Bloke of the Month - August 2006
Whose the hottest guy on Mount Olympus? It has to be Ares, God of War, who was played by Kiwi-born actor, Kevin Smith. He may have been a bad boy at times, sending hopeless soldiers into wars and screwing their wives at home while they were away - but we all loved Ares because he was good-guy at heart. Kevin Smith, primarily known for his role playing on Xena WP, ALSO played several supporting roles in television shows throughout his life, including a reoccurring role in Hercules where he was also Ares. Look at how hot this guy is - and he is 38 years old in all these pictures! Sadley, Smith was killed in 2003 due to head injuries suffered from a fall on set in Beijing for a new movie he was filming. Although gone, Kevin maintains some sense of "immortality" like his character Ares, as he is seen every week in thousands of homes across the world through their television sets.
Presenting... LOOKALIKES! There could be someone out there that looks just like you!!
Subject A: My bestfriend Sara's boyfriend Aron Hoenig and Red Sox back-up catcher Doug Mirabelli. Although Aron no longer plays baseball, he and Doug still share striking resemblances.. Subject B: My dear dear friend Jordan Ward and the infamous Tanya Turner from the UK's tv-show, 'Footballers' Wives'. Thankfully, Jordan doesn't inhbit Tanyas bad habits of smoking fags, doing coke, and plotting to murder ppl...
And they continue...

Timberlake Schmimberlake
So.... who knew that Justin Timberlake wants to be a movie star? Did he realllllly think he could buy his way into a 5-star cast (Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman) and automatically go from pop star to movie star? Um....I got news for you, Justin...no matter who you have in your movies...Spacey...Freeman....I don't care if you dig up Shakespeare and defrost Walt Disney to co-write a movie for you....YOU WILL NEVER BE AN ACTOR. You are a sell-out pop singer and YES I do admit I shake my bon-bon in the car when that song Sign or whatever it's called comes on the radio....but you're done. YOU ARE DONE. HAHAHAHA It's so funny that so many of these divas think they can dance their way onto the big screen. Like...what the hell was that American Idol movie "From Justin to Kelly"???????? All I have to say is.....???????? WHAT??????????
Ok... I'll let J. Lo slide because she did a good job playing Selena but then she decided to be Jenny from the Block and only play maids and blue collar types....what was that all about? You want us to think she is humble? Good old Jenny from the block..... whatever I have nothing to say about that.
Britney Spears tried her luck with Crossroads... what a SMASH HIT THAT WAS! A TOTAL BOX OFFICE SENSATION! Whattttttt were you thinking Brit? Stick to making babies and walking around public shithole restrooms. You're good at those things.
Oh...in case you're wondering what movie Justin is in....it's called Edison Force. It was made in 2004 and the release date kept being pushed back until now. It's coming out tomorrow. Wondering why you haven't seen any previews for it?
Well... it's because it's going straight to the shelves of Blockbuster. Hah....
Bloke of the Month
Okay, I know Christina and I skipped a few months... many many months.. but thats okay, because the time is now, and NOW we have Johnny Wilkinson as our bloke of the month. I became infatuated with him while spending time in Glasgow. His pictures were all over my walls! Better known as the "David Beckham" of England's rugby union, Wilkinson is not only gorgeous himself, but has an amazing right foot that delivers gorgeous kicks of power and accuracy for the Lions. The 27 year old plays one of the roughest sports in the world, meaning rugby - I mean, where are the pads on these gents? Despite the fact that Wilko is up against guys twice his size who want to crush him in a match, this 5' 10" star continues to shine as one of England's model players.
Ooooos that in Return of the Black Stallion
Some of you may have watched Return of the Black Stallion when you were younger - short-lived syndicated min-series based upon the book and later Francis Ford Coppolla's film, The Black Stallion. Quick synopsis - black horse (well not really black, no horse is black, just a bay folks sorry) - kid - old man trainer - racing - blah.. Anyways - I thought it was funny that Lucy Lawless was in one of the episodes in 1992, way way back before Ms. Xena Warrior Princess. She was in some episode about a volanco. ? I know - you shouldn't ride horses on a volcano. But hey, Lucy looks great as always.

Is England Really Full Of Mingers?
Fifa 2006 World Cup is underway and England is on to the quarter finals this Sunday! Why do all people say that people from England are ugly? I obviously do not agree, and Britians football team is nothing less that gorgeous - check out these blokes! If everyone in England looked like these guys I'd be moving there tomorrow. Good luck on the pitch! (Becks, Cole, Owen, Lampard)
Sisters?
I miss old cars :(
You know what I really like? Old cars. Why aren't there more on the road? Its seems to me, and some may agree - that cars today all seem to look like one another. No variety really. Examples... Lexus E300 and the Toyota Camery. Ford Explorer and the Mercury Mountaineer. Granted they are both own by the same motor companies, but do they all have to look the same. Why can't a new car be made that runs with the engine of a new car, yet carries the body of an old car? Like a '57 Chevy hardtop? Or maybe a '56 Ford Thunderbird convertible like the one Elvis used to have? Or what about those old cadillacs with the fins? Wouldn't you like some fins on your car? Hell yes I would. Anyways, I rarely see old cars on the road anymore - only once in a while... and you know what people say, styles go around in cycles... so when are old car designs going to come back? Hopefully sooner rather than later. And just for the record, if I could have a classic auto to drive around Beantown, its be a Dodge Super Sport hardtop, dark green with two white racing stripes down the hood. SaaaaaWWeeet!
Movie Review - SUPERMAN RETURNS
Superman Returns! Well - not really. Mr. Reeves is dead and not coming back, but the fictional hero "superman", otherwise known as Clarke Kent has returned from planet Kryptonite and is back to serve as savior to the world in this new high-budget blockbuster movie that is sure to take the weekend box office by storm. All your faves are back - Lois Lane, Lex Luther, the Daily Planet staff, and the hords of useless stupid NYC citizens (only in the move folks, I love new yorkers) that enjoy looking at the sky and refusing to move as a giant billboard/car/rock/or meteor hurtles towards them from the sky, and wait for our man in tights to show up and save the fucking day. Aside of being 2 1/2 hours, I enjoyed the movie.. of course hoping the whole time that he'll fuck Lane, but alas the film is a bit slow. Spacey is clutch. Sorry for Superman fans but I always root for the villan and the fact that both his yatch, helicopter, and plans for world armaggedon are ruined makes me upset. Why can't a villan win once and a while? Lets think of all the Cruellas, Ursellas, Wicked Witches of the North, and Jason Vorhees? Why can't these dudes get a break? I mean really... lets give them a bit of slack.
And YES it was my birthday - what did I do?
A birthday is just another day - right? Only your a year older. Eeeesh if your 29 and YES if your 20. For me it was so-so cause I'm 22 now. Just wanted to fill you in on what I did on my birthday... hmm your british boyfriend is in town and you have alot of alcohol and a HUGE house to yourself... hmmm... what did I do all day? Don't mean to gloat, but use your imagination! Gooooood day!

It's a certain special someone's special day!
Yes, that's right... 22 years ago today (8pm, to be exact) a certain special girl was pushed into this world. 8 lbs 4 ounces of pure joy....Julia Marie Dunn. Rumor has it that she was born holding a chainsaw but I want to tell all the readers that this, unfortunately, is just a rumor. She was actually born holding a crossbow and a bottle of lighter fluid. I'm not sure what the little tyke did with these necessities, but I'm sure it was something great.
22 years ago today, I was already shoving food into my fat face with my fat hands and making stupid noises. Julia is just a wee baby compared to me... but now that's a good thing because no matter how old Julia gets, I will always be older. That means I'll be the first to hit the dreaded 30. Ugh.
Julia, you youthful, lucky bitch... I salute you on this wonderful day. Too bad there is a tropical storm blowing through the area. But who needs the real sun when they can have Julia? She radiates like the sun...she actually gave me some first degree burns with a death glare one time. Dangerous.
Only messing, dear.
Julia doesn't know what I got her for her birthday but she will find out on Sunday. And no, silly, it's not a giant hamburger though that sounds kinda nice.

Things to ponder: A glance inside the mind of an insomniac.
I haven't slept for more than 5 hours since about April 10th...or maybe even before that. I was just throwing that date out there so I could attempt to solidify my claim.
So... I was sitting in bed...which, by the way, is exactly 5 strides from my little couch where I smoosh myself to write or type... depending on how motivated I'm feeling. If I have something REALLY good to say, I write it. If not, I just type because it's a helluva lot faster and I can't stand the fact that my handwriting changes every 5 minutes...
Oh..right... back to my story. I was sitting in bed and realized, wow... I wish that a little typwriting thumbelina-style man or woman or whatever was sitting in my brain recording my train of thought because I was reallllly thinking about some extremely MANIACAL things.
Like...
Why the hell don't airplanes have parachutes for everyone on board? I mean, how much space can a parachute actually take up. I'm not like, a pro skydiver or anything but I can't imagine a few hundred little parachute backpacks could weigh that much. Throw a couple of the bottles of Gin out the window to make room. No one drinks that pinetree scented shit anyways.
Or... going off on someone...
it's a fairly common phrase, correct? Well... if you "go off" on someone you tend to turn up the volume rather than turn it off... shouldn't the phrase be go on to someone? It sounds stupid but the thought actually crossed my mind. I'd probably use the phrase "freakin flipped the fuck out" but where is the sense in that alliteration?
Ok soooo that's really all I wanted to share with whoever is dumb enough to read what I (or we, for that matter) have to say.

tuesday schmoozeday
today alex asked me how to spell the word "maniacal" except she had some weird whacked out spelljob going on. Now she knows the correct spelling so I feel like my life is complete. I also feel like my life is complete because I have successfully unpacked 1 out of the 6 boxes that are piled on my front porch. I move at a very slow pace unless I'm doing something I actually want to do... So for all of you crazies out there that ever thought I was a slow walker, slow talker or any of that nonsense...now you know, I probably didn't like you to move quickly in your presence.
I have no idea where I am going with today's chat. Who named blogs blogs? I wanna meet whoever it was because I think that's a wonderful name....random and weird. But I might be digging myself a hole right now saying that because there is probably some weird computer geek reason behind it or maybe its just a pneumonic device.
By the way... I used a psychology term in a sentence yesterday. I'm still trying to get over it. My self esteem level has fallen directly through the earth and is now seeping into outer space from somewhere in Asia. Sweet.

This guy has the right idea...
This swan baby caught my attention the other day while I was sitting on my dock. I've lived on a lake for my entire life... I've seen a helluvalotta swans and their kiddies but I've never seen anything like this... What a smart little guy, catching a ride across the pond for some free food. Actually, two of them were riding on this mom's back but I only caught one on camera. Damn.
Ok that's all for now. If I were a cignet, AKA baby swan for all you non-animal planet-watching fools...I'd definitely get free rides from the rents...after all, their feet are bigger and can cover more ground in a smaller amount of time. This baby is the shit.

Home Depot=Drug Depot
Massachusetts Home Depots are really taking a turn for the best. Their new marketing campaign has made front page news all over the country. Although the two reports of finding large quantities of cannabis hidden inside Home Depot merchandise is supposed to be a bad thing, I can't imagine sales will drop. In fact, I am thinking about marching my little ass right down to Home Depot in Hingham right now to purchase as many bathroom vanities as possible in hopes of scoring one of these 50-pound bricks of greenery.
But I do have some beef with this story.... who are the two extreme toolbags that decided it would be a good idea to turn in these bails of goodness? I mean, come on... if you buy a bathroom vanity for your house you're not thinking "hmmmm maybe if I buy this one it will have a bail of weed inside and I can sell it and make some extra cash for some beer and pizza.." It's not your fault if you happen to buy one that is chock full of ganja... you should just think of it as a "someone loves me today" bonus! And don't try to give me the excuse that you are a non-smoker and you frown upon the stuff because in all reality, if you don't smoke, you probably know someone that does and would highly appreciate a BAIL of it. So, whoever you are...
what the hell were you doing turning it in?
And whoever it was that had the bright idea to store their goods inside purchaseable pieces of furniture...way to go, smartie. WAY TO GO. My theory is that Home Depot did it on purpose, to boost sales.

ROAD TRIP EAST COAST USA 2006
So we made it...
Savannah, GA to Statesville NC (w/ one stop in Brattensville, SC)....
Statesville NC to Skyline Drive through the Shenandoah Mountains in VA....
Skland to Washington DC to be AMERICANS and drink a lot of alcohol....
DC to NYC to do the exact same...
NYC to Northampton MA to take tequila shots with Mr. Chuck Jeffrey (dad)....
Northampton to Scituate MA to go to the movies (Cars...good flick...) and then... we split up. Weird. Now I am still in Scituate and Julia is in Belmont and the road trip was quite eventful... we had a wonderful time, met wonderful people and reunited with wonderful friends. It's a pity it had to end.
We kinda miss florida... how strange. it's 4:50 we should be heading to happy hour trivia w/ curtis but nooooooooo im stuck in scituate ... thats ok... i'll be moving out soon enough to start the next chapter.

adios winter park, florida
We've dragged it out long enough....
We are finally saying goodbye to Winter Park, Florida. We have been hanging around for the past couple of weeks for no particular reason. It's funny, because for the past few years I've bitched and moaned about this place but when it comes down to it, I'm actually pretty sad to be leaving....
We were joking around about just living in different houses around here all summer...not doing much of anything... partying.. sort of looking for jobs...etc etc etc... I think both of us were actually half serious but neither one of us has the balls to rebel like that. I'm not sure how I'm going to take having to temporarily live at home again. Scituate, Massachusetts is about 45 minutes away from Boston soooooo that pretty much kills my crazy party habits that I've adopted in the past few months.. not to mention there is no Fiddlers nearby so forget happy hour trivia...ouch. thats a big let down.
But I guess it's time to get moving... turn the page. Who knows when I'll find my way back here. I don't think either of us has any intention of ever living here again but... we'll certainly come back for a visit every now and again...

Introducing: Aria Broughton...Kiwi of the Year
This chick is unbelievable....she's a Maori...native New Zealander from the south island...Christchurch... I met her in ireland bopping around the country in her converse sneakers and worn out black pin stripe blazer...we were buddies immediately. I don't think we spent a day apart after we met...well we worked together and that's a whole different story but we partied pretty much every night too... I don't think we spent much time just staying in.... if she were to attempt to sleep late on Sundays... I'd let myself in her apartment and run right up to her bedroom. Then I'd force her into the sunny irish air and make her sit and drink cans with me while all the crazies juggled and did weird circus things around us.
Aria is now back in New Zealand after a year in Ireland and we are getting back in touch by writing little novels to eachother by e-mail.... a couple of "Aria" quotes from her last e-mail will further my efforts to try and make all of you understand how priceless she is....
(remember to do a new zealand accent in ur head when reading this..)
"Its so funny reading ur e-mails....i can hear ur wee cheesy American accent in my head...is good cheese though, don't get offended....like brie or feta.....mmmmmmmmmm."
"She is working with her "best friend" in top shop making the jewellery stands look pretty for like 50 cents an hour. Shes still fat in fact she is now considered her own free state.
