I have too much fun doing it.

I’m presuming it’s still this deep-seated neurosis that the British are going to come back. I get that you have bears and things, but I don’t think you need assault rifles or rocket launchers to scare them off.

Hey Everybody! An Update! On My Life!

It’s been a while since I posted anything substantive on here and this post will barely count.

I went to Grand Cayman for work in December. It was a lot of fun, mostly because I got to stay over the weekend and got to actually enjoy the island.

Christmas was a blast. We made almost 200 peirogi and I’m learning more and more about how to make them and the rest of our Christmas Eve menu. Sadly, my great uncle, Uncs, was taken to the hospital on Christmas Day after running himself ragged getting ready for Christmas Eve. He’s back home now, but I felt bad for him. He’s a tough old Polack so he’ll rally.

New Years was fun. I got drunk.

I’ve been near Allentown, PA all week for work. It’s been a motherfucker driving back and forth from the City, but I’ll be damned if I’m staying over in this one horse town.

I finished watching The Wire last night. It was very well written and very well executed, but it didn’t blow my skirt up the way it does for many others.

What’s up with you guys?

I have no idea why I waited so long to put these up. I may be a lawyer but I’ll be damned if I’m a grownup.

Buds!

Buds!

Oh the man got promoted and you didnt? It’s not because of your gender, it’s because you are a fucking insufferable cunt and no one likes you.

Greetings from Grand Cayman!

Greetings from Grand Cayman!

(via thebluthcompany) I’m at a deposition at a HoJo in the middle of Queens. Shockingly, the lobby smells like the Marlboro Man’s living room. The basement, where this deposition is being held, smells like the factory where they make the fake lemon smell for cleaning products. This place is an assault on my senses, including my sense of propriety. In discussing these conditions, I channeled by inner Lucille and said that “I want to die.”

Disappointed Dennis - We Cut Ourselves For This Blood (Outtake)

Here’s a little gem from 2002. It’s me at band practice with two of my buddies when they got “The Sillies”

When The Sillies struck, both of my friends were rendered useless by laughter for minutes on end and I was rendered pissed off because I wanted to play.

Here are the results.
