Outside Fenway

On Saturday night, Hubby sat on the field at the Dave Matthews concert at Fenway Park.  I did not.  That doesn't mean I couldn't hear the music from my living room, however, and it also doesn't mean I wasn't highly entertained by the shenanigans taking place beneath my window. 

Fenway, Schmenway.  This is where the real show takes place!  I should charge admission.  We've got yer drunks, yer degenerates, hell, we've got it all!  If you're lucky, you'll even get a contact high.

The management company for my apartment building sometimes parks their van in the alleyway.  If I had a nickel for every boob that sparked up a joint behind this van, I'd be a very wealthy woman.  They think they're camouflaged, you see, but they are not.  The Odd Broad sees all.  (Actually, I'm pretty sure just about everyone can see them.)

Yesterday morning I woke up early and came into the living room to drink coffee and watch Paula Dean.  Instead, I was serenaded by two crackheads sharing a walkman.  This created a warm kind of ambiance.  Very relaxing.

Two nights ago there were dudes who looked old enough to be my father sparking up doobies.  It was a windy night, so they were having a little trouble.  I'm not going to lie, it was kind of sad.  (The van didn't hide them, either.)

Tonight is the Phish concert.  Need I say more?

If I thought Red Sox fans were irritating, I honestly had no idea.  Even now, as I type, a twenty something hipster kid is calling after a brunette wearing a purple dress and brown cowboy boots.  "Baby," he whines, "Baby, come here, wait, come back..."

I long to scream out, "Baby, just f***ing answer him, please!"  Sweet Baby Jesus, make it stop.

Now they're smoking behind the van.

It's all very amusing.  Until it's not.  And on that note, I shall retire to bed. 

Rental, Sweet Rental.  xoxo

PS: I wasn't kidding about the contact high.  Kittie just ordered a pizza.

if i had known you were so close to fenway i would have smoked at your house :) but seriously, i would have tried to met up for dinner or something a drink maybe. it really would be fun. but dmb was great music. i have been way too many times and the crowd keeps getting uglier each time. is that possible? i cant imagine how ugly the phish fans are!!! i kept watching people thinking, am i this ugly?!?!?!

Makes you miss being in college, doesn't it?

Wait, do you mean their behavior is ugly, or they are literally ugly? Because you are anything but ugly! :)

[thayhurst@lowell.k12.ma.us]

the people were definitely ugly. ugly looking. inside they were fun and friendly but still really ugly.
