Texts from this Week

So we all are very aware of Texts from Last Night, the greatest website ever to bring us random text messages from drunk (hopefully) 20-somethings up to no good on hilarious trajectories through life. Here are some examples:

(774):

just had to sit in the middle of an aisle in stop and shop because we’re too hungover and needed to take a break.

(949):

… They left for 10 minutes and came back with a lobster he’s in the toilet downstairs

(602):

Chapter 6 – how to lose your underwear in chicago

Obviously not as racy as TFLN, and hopefully not as alcohol-induced because a lot of them came during the workday, I decided to showcase some of the random texts, gchats and BBMs I received from my friends this week, because, for whatever reason, they were particularly inspired. Here. We. Go. Area codes may or may not have been changed to protect certain identities.

Scenes from the Green Line: My New Favorite Website

We all remember T-pocolypse 2011 a few weeks back and how the entire Green Line shut down and the Mass Pike was a parking lot for hours all because someone fainted at Arlington Street station during rush hour. It still keeps me up at night. Well apparently I’m not the only one whose life has been turned upside down by the MBTA system (actually, if we want to get existential about it, we could all probably say the T has ruined our lives in some way, butterfly effect, yada, yada, yada).

One Joey Brunelle (a.k.a. lead designer and developer of Goose Rock Design, where they “make awesome things”), a Kennebunk, ME native, has started the website How Fucked is the T? (HowFuckedistheT.com) which gives live data on where all four of the MBTA subway lines are at any time of the day, which basically shows that during most of the day the T is late, shut down, broken, sucking at life, etc. This has become my new favorite obsession.

This is So Not How You Become the Pippa Middleton of a Wedding

As has become apparent I’m sure over the past few months, I was/am obsessed with the royal wedding, in particular the rising star of one Pippa Middleton. So much so that, moments after the world’s most famous sibling entered Westminster Abbey, I was proclaiming that I would be the Pippa Middleton of not one, not two, but all of the weddings I have to attend in the next year or so. Meaning, I was going to upstage everyone, be the best dressed, etc. Oh, wishful thinking.

My first attempt came at the Memorial Day nuptials of my cousin RJ. To say I crashed and burned would be an understatement. But instead of being upset or going on the defensive, I’m owning it, and because of that, I’m going to give all of you the definitive guide on what not to do at a wedding, family function, or really anytime you’re in public. This is How Not to be the Pippa Middleton of a Wedding. You’ll thank me later.
