My grandmother used to make a million types of Christmas cookies and my favorite were the pizzelles (a Dutch version). We actually have her pizzelle press but I've never made them. They were kind of the quintessential marker of Christmas to me, and of when we'd always go to my grandmother's house for the holidays, so…

Part of me is like "Finally, some weird shit" but also I feel bad for these people.

This is true! I bailed on seeing if anyone wanted to go for a drink after, because I have strep throat. Did you guys hangout or anything?

This is awful, I could barely sit through the entire thing. It's not necessarily worse than any one of these songs on its own, but that being the case, why even bother?

I look just like my profile picture.

Yeah, I like all of these takes on it! I feel the same way. To add another layer of complexity to this, I live in Medford but sometimes say Somerville because that's where the T stop/"the downtown" (Davis Square) is. Also because I haven't yet really figured out a meaningful distinction between the two.

That's a persuasive factor - I think it would be pretty funny if I met Sean O'Neal in Boston because I used to live in both Chicago

I can't decide whether to go or not! I don't have any real reason not to, and I've never seen Bad Santa. I also live just 20 minutes (walking) from the theater. Can anyone give me an argument in favor or against?

I feel like the Boston area is a little more nebulous about this. Do people who live in Boston Boston get pissed off when those who live in the "Boston area" say they live in Boston, like New Yorkers do? I've always thought this was a little more lax because there is such a defined urban area that includes cities that…

"Roof" that way drives me ballistic too. People who do that say "root" the same way which I also hate. I have a little bit of a Midwestern accent though. I'm from MA but my mom's family is from Ann Arbor and going to school in Chicago kind of cemented it. I also inexplicably play it up sometimes (consciously), just on…
