Smashed my finger at work. Gross and it really hurts. Ouch!
2/1: got the H1N1 vaccine February 1, 2010
My school was hosting an H1N1 vaccine clinic today, so I figured it couldn’t hurt (ha ha) to get one.

1/28: used a group discount via the internet January 30, 2010
Brian’s birthday is coming up and he wanted a golf related gift. He directed me to this site http://www.buywithme.com/ which turned out to be a really cool concept. Basically, it is a discounted rate on specific items if enough people sign up. I bookmarked it because it appears to have a number of really cool deals for various things.

*Happy birthday, Gray!*
1/26: wondered why my left thigh had an enormous bruise and lump January 28, 2010
Did I mention I fell out of my loft? Did I also mention that I was blacked out? I rule.
1/25: fell out of my loft January 28, 2010
I went to a show tonight and for a Monday, the beers were certainly strong. II didn’t have too many, but I did have enough to heckle from the audience (which was heard by the performer) and ask the other performer if he wanted to rent my loft instead of living with his parents. (Oddly, he declined. Bummer.)
We live in a loft (the kind with one room which rules when there are two of you and two felines, one enormous) and have a “bedroom” which is not a room at all but a five foot high by eight foot wide space which can only be reached by ladder OR climbing on the computer desk. (Not that I usually climb on the computer desk, which is glass by the way, but I’m not saying it hasn’t happened.)
After imbibing said beers and arriving home, I chugged some water and climbed up the ladder. As I reached the top, I somehow lost my balance, fell sideways, and ripped the ladder off the wall. Hilarity ensued. As the pre-mentioned glass computer desk was right below me, I held on and swung myself back up onto the loft. 
This is a view from the loft, where I have been able to stay securely in for the past five years save for this one incident.
You can kind of tell what it looks like here, but this is from when we first moved in and had not installed the real ladder (which I yanked out of the wall) yet. Additionally, I have lost about 15 lbs since this picture was taken so I am not a rhinocerous or anything.
PLEASE NOTE: I had no recollection of this incident on Tues. morning. See 1/26 entry for details.
1/21: had my second Spanish class January 22, 2010
My teacher is great and she makes us talk and read aloud all the time. It is super helpful because those are the most difficult parts for me. I hope that I can hold a reasonable conversation without sounding like a moron by the end of the semester.

1/18: Took a message from the god of Not Your Average Joe’s January 19, 2010
So I got my identity stolen twice in my life. Both times were during a security breach at Not Your Average Joe’s (a restaurant chain in the northeast- not sure if it is national.) Blah blah- long story short, everything got straightened out and my identity was restored (two times over.)
For Christmas, I got a gift card to Not Your Average Joe’s. I haven’t been back since the Identity Fiascoes of 2008 but thought I would give it another shot. I order a beer (Mayflower on draft) and drink it to discover a two inch shard of glass floating at the bottom. Amazing- if that isn’t a message from the universe to stay the heck away, I don’t know what is.
The staff was fantastic and comped our meal, we got new and glass-free beers, and all ended up fine. However I think that I will be passing the gift card to someone else and hope that they have better luck than me!
In related news, the NYAJ of Medford is excellent. This is in no way meant as an attack against the restaurant or the chain. This is a commentary on my crappy luck.

1/11: sat courtside at Celtics game January 12, 2010
They lost but I won in this situation (cue abs from Jersey Shore.) Paul Pierce’s wife/fiancee/?? definitely wins the gorgeous person of the game award in conjunction with the thanks for taking a picture of two lucky bastards who lucked into courtside seats. Seriously, she was the prettiest person I have ever seen close up and she was so kind. And gorgeous. And I am not even super jealous, just a tiny bit.
