Word o' the Week (for next week)

Blithe
1. happy and carefree
2. vivacious
3. adjective describing someone who would be called "jolly" if they hadn't lost so much weight

That last definition sounds like my buddy Sean Kufel. On the surface he seems like a really happy, nice guy who loves to laugh. Everyone who meets Sean instantly likes him.

But dig a little deeper, and you'll find an ocean of venom and rage. One minute he's loving life, the next minute his beard is spewing expletives. Thank God his diatribes are mostly reserved for things like stupid commercials, stupid songs, morons, stupid people, the Boston Bruins, and people who don't stay on their heels when they squat. His rantings are always funny, and often insightful. You can read them at Pajiba, where Sean shares scathing reviews with the resident bitchy people. He also maintains a blog over at Fat Kid and the Afternoon Snacks.

Enjoy.

The Boom's first buddy-blog

My friend Courtney has a blog called Immune to Caffeine. My first reaction to this news was a weary sigh. Great, yet another "musings of a twenty-something" blog. Just one more thing I have to pretend to care about. Then I remembered that Jay's Legal Boom could be subtitled "musings of a (barely) twenty-something on a (notoriously boring) subject that he doesn't actually understand all that well". I decided her blog was probably not such a bad idea and proceeded to check it out.


And I'm glad I did. It reminded me why I like Courtney so much-her personality is big enough for cyberspace. She makes me laugh. She makes me think. Sometimes she makes me want to punch her in the head. Just kidding. Kind of.

You should check her out:
