Thanks to two of my favorite bloggers and dear friends, I’ve been nominated in two three (!) categories for this year’s 2009 Weblog awards. I’ve been nominated in the categories of “Best Individual Blogger” and “Best Humor Blog” and “Best Diarist.” I’m putting this hot dose of shameless self-promotion out so you can help me [...]

For those of you who may not have been around last winter, the woman in the picture above is known only to us as Mega Pissy Metro Woman. I wrote about her last March because I was absolutely riveted watching her ride the train every morning. I hate public transportation, but this woman not only [...]
