I stumbled upon a website that allows you to blend any colors evenly no matter how opposite on the spectrum...
Well, it took eleven years, but apparently this year I finally hit on the right combination of yoga, prozac, beer, hockey, and hours of MassSTAR distraction to keep me from focusing on the fact that this date sucks a whole lot.

I bought a really lovely down comforter on sale at Bloomingdales this weekend (down to $79 from $360!!!) and also splurged on all new bed linens. You guys, my bed feels like a hotel bed right now and it’s basically the best thing to happen to me in months. I may never leave this bed again (oh wait, I have a 6am poise class. Well. Shit.)
Chicken Fried, a song by Zac Brown Band on Spotify.
This song has inspired the totally awesome decision to drag all my friends to CT for my birthday for a night at Caddy Ranch. WOO!
Here’s the thing, though: that “sweet” guy looked an 8 year old in the face and left the bag in front of him anyway. And then he drove over his brother and left him for dead when trying to save himself. Let’s not kid ourselves: each of these men were equally responsible for their choices.
Lockdown? I don’t give a fuck. Let that bastard come to Southie. LET HIM FUCKING TRY.
Aaaand I’m crying at my desk.
The New York Post has again distinguished itself in its coverage of the Boston Marathon investigation, this time misidentifying the two suspects authorities kinda-sorta maybe have in mind. Over a photo from the marathon, the Post screams âBAG MEN: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon.â In the photo, two men, one with a white cap and a backpack, are shown conversing while dark-skinned.
Whatever happened to responsible journalism? My hometown of Revere, MA — which is one of only two communities included alongside Boston in Suffolk County, which I feel gives us the right to call ourselves native Bostonians, because if I can get sent to goddamn ROXBURY for jury duty, I can damn well claim Boston native status — keeps getting swept into a negative light.
First came the apartment search on Monday evening - all because a Saudi kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time. One victim out of 170+ was flagged as a suspect because of the color of his skin - and shockingly few people seem to have a problem with that.
Now this high school student has had his name and image dragged through the mud because of irresponsible journalism. What made this guy suspicious? If you’ve got brown skin, should you avoid crowds altogether? Maybe leave your backpack at home before attending your next crowded event? If this student were white, would he have received the same treatment in the media?
Look, what happened on Monday is horrifying. I hate that these bombs tore apart my city on my favorite day of the year. But more than that, I hate the way some people are responding.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21)
Fear, hysteria, finger-pointing: this isn’t the solution. Think before you spread hate and suspicion, and remember that the color of someone’s skin doesn’t determine their character.
No but really, where can I get one of those jerseys?
The Boston Marathon the best in the world. It’s the hardest to qualify for, the hills are brutal, and yet every marathon runner still wants to race Boston.
This article was posted on Boston Magazine’s website on Sunday, and was previously published in the magazine itself - so, before yesterday’s events. Eerie to read it now with the additional context, particularly when you get to the “all eyes on Boston” part.
