Arrested Development NFL Style
Am I the only one sees Rob Ryan and automatically thinks about how he looks like Rex with a wig…maybe like Oscar and George Bluth

Off The Grid
10 years ago, when someone was said to be “living off the grid” you would immediately think of something like this:
Now, when people say “I’m off the grid” it usually means they left their smartphone at their home and would be without it for 10 hours…while they work at a computer all day.

Lessons from Maury
Meet Angie:
Angie got knocked up by Sam (which was proven on Maury on a previous episode):
Now they are dating again. Which would be good…except for the fact that Angie has a lisp and can’t actually pronounce “Sam”. It’s awkward.
Lesson learned: make sure you can enunciate the names of your sexual partners. You may have a life long connection with them.

Friday just got better
I woke up pretty pumped for today. This week has been a drag, and I have fun plans for post-work. Immediately after 5, I am heading out with coworkers for beer and half priced apps and then onto an end-of-season kickball party.
The morning was a bit a of struggle as I felt that I should doll myself up a little since I seem to have saved my social life for one night this week, but for the life of...

Back story:
Yesterday, I noticed my tires were looking a little sad, so I figured I should stop at the gas station and fill up on air as I was driving to and from Gilette Stadium for a work conference. When I got there, I threw in the 3 quarters and went to remove the tire cap...

Narragansett Beer by BloombergTV
Bloomberg TV put together a great video that covers the history of Narragansett Beer. It came out really well. I think viewers get a chance to see what this brand means to New England and specifically RI.

I think I prefer non-sexy Halloween
Halloween 2011 -Sexy Batman
Halloween 2012 - Luigi with Kart
I definitely had more fun as a Italian male video game character. Not once did I have to worry about how tight my costume was :)

Jack Could Have Survived!
My middle school self is now really REALLY angry at James Cameron. While his response is pretty amazing in this clip, I feel like he needed to do his homework and requested a smaller board.

I can’t tell you how excited I was to read this email just as I walked into my home at midnight last night. Even though the replacement refs gave me serious heartburn, heart attacks, and may have caused small bouts of depression, I have to admit they inspired some creative...

Hey Eric,
I’m feel heavy. Do you know something easy I can do to help strengthen my core? Think super beginner - right now I am working on going to the gym twice a week for cardio….baby steps.

Nerd....?
My coworker has been telling me about how lately her heart will occasionally go into overdrive, giving her heart palpitations. Her doctors haven’t yet found the cause to this physical reaction. This week I started reading The Nerdest Way and there is a whole section on dealing with panic attacks.
I, being a self-diagnosed nerd, suffer from panic/anxiety attacks from time to time. My...

Bacon is for lovers
I’m sure you have heard of Fab.com. If you aren’t a member and want to be, I’ll invite you, just click here. It was through this site that I had found the rocking bed. And well, it was at Fab that I was able to find the perfect companion product for those adventurous enough to try a Mood Rocking Bed.

I’m not kidding. Here is a blurb from the product...
SSP vs Schweaty Balls
Tick tick tick tick tick….
We are racing the clock people!!!!
For some reason, this week, more than any other I have ever played, was there serious concern as to the game fitting within the 45 minute allotment. I felt like we were disarming a bomb or something the way the remaining time was constantly referenced…. it didn’t help that Noll shouted out BOOM when people went up...

(Yes, I was able to find my waist without having to bend to the side. Thank you very much)
Rocking the Bed
I saw these beds on Fab.com a while ago and immediately sent out links to to the sale to a number of my friends. Everyone had the same initial response as I did, “wtf?”. Stupid me, I neglected to write down the Fab.com price, but I went to Google and found the Queen size bed on sale on Amazon. Yay, for Amazon. Now, you too, can rock yourself to sleep for the low low price of...

Bourbon me
This summer I decided that I needed to take on a new project. This project was the kind of project that would make me a better person.
I was going to get into bourbon
It turns out that I was not alone. Back in March, there were a number of articles released about how “bourbon was new vodka”. MSNBC discussed the recent surge of interest in the liquor, pointing out what was once...
“Yeah, you don’t seem like a “hugger”.”

Game 1: SSP vs Bootleggers
What do we do?
Win
Why?
Because we’re sexy
Yep, the cheer that started the evening, pretty much summed up how the game and bar went last night. Stewies was the “away” team and started the night off with some big kicks and somewhat aggressive base running. I can attest to this as I was in charge of the line-up score sheet for part of...

While I understand that horoscopes are often extremely vague so that the sentiment can be twisted to fit into the n-users world, today’s horoscope was spot on for me. I had a wonderful time at the bar after kickball today. I laughed so hard that I came uncomfortably...

You ARE (NOT) the father!
Recently, I came up with the GENIUS idea of DVRing the Maury Show. This allows for me to enjoy some spectacular DNA drama while I clean up my house. The only thing more fun than watching an episode of baby mamma/daddy drama is providing a friend with the play by play of the episode while also discussing that friend’s current vacation. For an example see below…

The biggest divide in this country isn’t left and right. It’s the divide between people watching the convention and people watching the VMAs

VMAs vs DNC
This morning on the radio I heard that MTV moved up the VMAs an hour so that the broadcast would not conflict with Obama’s speech tonight at the DNC. (Crossed checked this online, found confirmation on the HuffPost) At first I thought, oh man, that’s pretty smart. The last thing you want is to have your viewers to cut out half way through your biggest production of the year.

My friends when I go on a date
myfriendsaremarried:
My friend Teddy just sent me this Tumblr. It is hysterical. I totally get that after #whatshouldwecallme came out, tons of others mimicked the style by using gifs to explain life events. But as a single 28 year old woman (soon to be 29) this tumblr totally hits home.

Living Social Deal for Starbucks →
My friend just sent me the link (click above) for the $5 for $10 Starbucks Living Social Deal. Personally, I don’t care for their coffee, but I do love their seasonal Pumpkin Spiced Lattes.
Let’s think, if I get the $10 gift card, I think I can now get …. hmmm… two lattes before I spend it all….?
