Renters Insurance and why it’s so important!

February 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Local, money, stuff

If you live in the Boston area, there is a good chance that you are a renter.  If your building burns down, or if you are robbed (our place was many years ago before I moved in), your landlord’s homeowner’s insurance does not cover the cost of your belongings (or anything else for you, most [...]

Weekly Round Up

January 23rd, 2010 · No Comments · Bloggish, Computery, Crosspost, Food, Local, Photography, stuff

Getting into the habit of reviewing the interesting Internetty / bloggy / foody / &tc.-y stuff from the week is something I would like to establish.  It gives me a chance to reflect and review all the garbage I saw all week, determine what was actually interesting and not heat-of-the-moment cool, and hopefully I can [...]

Let’s Begin Again

December 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Nerd, stuff

It was time.  After many, many years I have finally decided to retire my old alarm clock.  This thing has lasted me through countless years and apartments and has lived in three states.  It’s held steady through countless ‘Snooze‘-s, and still faithfully wakes me up to NPR’s Morning Edition daily.  The dual alarms and casette [...]

Amazon.Com Price Alerts

February 27th, 2009 · No Comments · money, stuff

I have been wondering for a while if I could set price alerts on Amazon for items that I wanted to buy but only at a particular price point.  The short answer that I found was that no, I can’t do that directly on Amazon’s website.  That’s okay though, there is another service named WishListBuddy [...]

Goodbye, PS2

April 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Personal Finance, stuff

In an effort to put more $ toward the new home theater fund, I sold off the PS2 yesterday.  I managed to get $75 for the system with two games and one controller.  It was in relatively good condition, and the only thing we used it for was to watch DVD’s.  I can count on [...]

Quick Movie Review: The Descent

April 5th, 2008 · No Comments · Movies, stuff

More or less this movie creeped me the hell out! I have not been so creeped out since High Tension. It’s a story of a group of six or so adventurous women who set out on a spelunking expedition. Soon they are in over their heads due to the manipulation of one of the girls, [...]

Quick Book Review: A Death In Belmont

April 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Books, stuff

I picked up Sebastian Junger’s “A Death In Belmont” at the Harvard Book Store a few months ago and just got time to get to it last weekend. I was bored after finishing off three or four books that I’d started and were languishing around and I couldn’t find anything on my shelf that I [...]

Product Love: Stemless Wine Glasses

April 4th, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized, stuff, wine

I love the Crate And Barrel Stemless Wine Glasses. Here at the Casa De Crazy, we drink a little bit of wine. We are also a bit clumsy, and for years, broken wine glasses were the bane of my existence. You couldn’t walk around the apartment barefoot without getting at least one itsy bitsy piece [...]
