Or perhaps Ms. Kardashian is some kind of fame-blackhole, and she sucks up the images of those around her. Instead of the camera stealing her soul, she steals the soul of those who try to capture her. It would explain a great deal, actually... Read more

Sometime in the early 90's, I was living in Jamaica Plain in Boston and hung out at a place called the Brenden Behan. (The Behan for short.)I opened and closed the bar. It's mostly a blur. Read more
Woke up at 5 am, got to school (this was early in my grad school career) around 6. Popped open a beer, helped set up for my lab's yearly St. Paddy's Day breakfast. Drank from 6-9. Took a nap on the hammock in our storage closet (yes, we have a hammock) from 9-11. Got to the bar when it opened at 11, snagged a booth,… Read more
St Patricks Day is me and my husband's sex-iversary! Probably won't be celebrating this year because I gave birth 8 days ago but it's still a special day. Read more
It isn't actually that sloppy but it's still something that would make my mother frown. The night before St. Pat's last year, I went out with a bunch of friends from my old university. I hadn't wanted to leave my old school, so when I arrived there after a year of being away, I was compelled to get REALLY wasted at… Read more

Two years ago, when the 17th was a Saturday and coincided with the parade (and Saint Patrick's Day is one of the few things Dallas does right), things rather expectedly went to hell. I decided it was a grand idea to stick a full bottle of Jack Daniels in my… Read more

Hook up with a cousin of the boyfriend—cute, late 20's, has a real job and a fancy car. He offers to give me a ride home—all the way… Read more
Well of course mine is about peeing. I went to the Southie Boston parade with a friend, because we are both female gingers and I figured we should be with our ilk. All the bars were charging like $20 to get in, so we decided to take turns peeing in an alley. She went first, I was on lookout, and made sure to block the… Read more
