october in new england

colorful leaves

I think that if I ever have another baby and the baby is a girl, I’ll maybe name her October. It’s nice this time of year, with all the colors, the crispness in the air, the smell of wood burning stoves; you just get a very warm comforting feeling from it, a sense of richness. It won’t be long before all the trees are bare and everything is washed out and hazy with winter’s melancholy, but right now, it’s burning and blazing with fire and passion.

I like having seasons, it’s a good reminder of things.

thursday divinity

By christa 25 October, 2007 thursday divinity

My thursday divinity is stumbling across this post of mine from about a year ago. I am not too sure how the rules work on thursday divinity, is it okay to have yourself be one? It should be okay if we make ourselves feel divine. That is kind of the most important, right?

right.

It makes me a bit sad that no one picked up on my references to the movie The Jerk a few posts ago. The one where I talked about david duchovny and los angeles. all I need is this remote control? come on people!

everyone hates boston sports right now

So we all know that the Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians and are headed to the world series. the city has gone wild. Because of the Sox of course, but also because of the Patriots, and BC, and the new Celtics lineup. Even the Bruins are getting a little sportscenter love!

With such success comes much anger. Here is a very funny column courtesy of jonathan about the reasons why it’s okay, in fact necessary, to hate NE sports fans. It’s very funny, even if you aren’t familiar with Boston or the New England area or sports even. Well okay maybe it’s not funny if you don’t like sports. or swear words.
