Today, the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-1, behind an odd yet effective performance by Jon Lester. I know this because, for some odd reason, my phone thought that Tara's housewarming party started at 23:30.

It didn't.

When I went to check the box score after the game, I also checked the FB and realized the the party had started at 20:30....maybe I just read it wrong?

I cycled to the party, delivered my favorite cheese and promptly changed into my....party clothes. Also, I emphatically warned them not to push the cork into the bottle and I will not be held responsible for any wine that may or may not be on the ceiling...

You're Welcome, Jen (and B-Rock!)

Dear Travis,

On behalf of President Obama, I want to thank you for your generous donation of 25.00 to the Democratic National Committee (DNC). The President is working hard to unite Americans to meet the serious challenges we face, and in you, he has a tremendous partner for change.

Your support means the Democratic National Committee can passionately and positively promote the President's agenda, and enlist the help of Americans from all walks of life to get our country moving forward again.

Make no mistake -- we have tremendous challenges ahead of us. But we also have a once in a lifetime chance to transform this country so that the dreams we have for our children and grandchildren can come true. We all fought for "change we can believe in," and now it's up to all of us to make it happen.

With this in mind, thank you once again for your loyal support of the Democratic National Committee. You make our Party and our country stronger.

Sincerely,

Jen O'Malley Dillon
Executive Director

Wholly Stupid Accident

Aug 20 2010 at 16:14 EST

I got into a wholly stupid accident on Wednesday that was entirely my fault. I walked myself over to Somerville Hospital ER, and the amazing doctors and staff had me cleaned up (first aid), checked out (CT shows no spinal injury), and shipped out in just over 2 hours! I've been icing my injuries and taking Ibuprofen, so physically I feel pretty fine today.

Mentally, I'm feeling really dark and lonely, like nothing I do and nothing that happens to me matters to anyone. I'm also feeling a sense of mediocrity, reading about the cool companies and projects that my fellow WPI alums are working on, and reading about the awesome non-profits that are right here in Somerville. I wish I knew how to get involved so I could not only help make the world (Somerville) a better place, but also get out and do something worth doing and maybe get some appreciation for my efforts, as well as meeting people (cuz non-profit people are probably the coolest people ever!).

I know I have skills and talents, but I mostly get the feeling that no one cares, that I have no one to share them with. That's a large reason why I go busking, because every dollar that I earn -- every smile or 'thumbs up' -- is an acknowledgment: "Hey that sounds pretty good, thanks for sharing with us!"
