BOSTON UNCOMMON

Posted by: B & L

Spotted: No, that's not Lady Gaga, Readers. It's none other than....a real life hooker only steps away from Boston Common! She was on her celli, gabbing about "avoiding the 5-Oh," probably to her pimp.

Both B and L giggled all the way across the street, thankful that they didn't get caught, because she could have easily taken them both!!

...Brings back L's memories of elementary school conveniently located on Piedmont and Murray Ave. in "South Worcester."

Don't end any type of relationship during working hours, especially via Facebook.

First, work should be a time where a person can concentrate on work, not on his or her love life. To end a relationship, even something as small as a constant hook up, during working hours is selfish. You don't know how that person will react. You don't know how long the person has to stay at the office. You don't know how that message will affect his or her work. I think you get point.

If you don't know when the person is working, I would stick with the customary working hours, which are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. However, if you know the person works different hours than listed, follow his or her working schedule.

Seriously, what's the big deal in waiting a few hours before ending it? The person is at work...it's not like you two are on a date or going to make out while he or she is working.

Second, Facebook is not the venue to end any sort of relationship. I don't even care if you don't want to workout anymore with one of your buddies anymore, you want to switch to a new gym, or you don't want to go out on a second date - not the way to end it.

Via text is bad enough, but to do it via Facebook is a whole new low.

Man up and at least tell the person over a phone call. (And, ok, even a text or series of texts would be better than Facebook!)

Honestly, what is so important that you need to end it instantly via Facebook? Is that instant gratification really that important?

Sorry, didn't realize changing your relationship status on Facebook was so important.

If changing the relationship status on Facebook is that important that you have to send a Facebook message to end something in order to instantly change your status to "in a relationship" then you shouldn't have been trying to get with anyone else in the first place.

Happy Valentine's Day!

From one of B and L's leading ladies,

"At some point during almost every romantic comedy, the female lead suddenly trips and falls, stumbling helplessly over something ridiculous like a leaf, and then some Matthew McConaughey-type either whips around the corner just in the nick of time to save her, or is clumsily pulled down along with her. That event predictably leads to the magical moment of their first kiss. Please. I fall ALL the time. You know who comes and gets me? The bouncer."

-- Chelsea Handler

Happy Valentine's Day from CC (and Chuy!)!

Loves it, Hates It: V-Day Edition

Posted by: B & L

February 14th, a day earmarked by the naked weapon-wielding baby who calls himself "cupid," or, better known as Valentine's Day, is right around the corner.

B and L have had several discussions regarding this "holiday" and have found themselves on two completely different opposite ends of the "feelin' it" spectrum, and so have prepared for you, dear readers, a special "Loves it, Hates it!" for your reading pleasure.

Take B: "Valentine's Day? Loves it!"

B, a girl's girl through and through. Just about everyday she hopes she will meet a guy who will sweep her off her feet. Romance: a dream come true.

"I love tokens of appreciation, especially when they are out of the blue. Flowers and/or chocolates? Yes, please!! Valentine's Day is just another chance for a guy to send those tokens to show you how much he wants you or thinks about you!! But the BEST part of any appreciation is the card; however, to get the extra points, a personal message is required! (Come on, guys, none of that lazy BS of just signing your name! Even if it is sans personal message, I will gladly accept your card with a smile. You got half-way there!)

Now that I'm single, I'm going to have to rip a page out from Cher Horowitz's book and send myself flowers and chocolates for V-Day!! Helllllloooo Godiva. Mmmmm....Delicious."

Or, take L: "Valentine's Day? Hates it!"

L, a girly-girl on the outside, but a completely stereotypical "man" when it comes to mushy things. Ugh.

"I do not like chic flicks, the Lifetime network, or talking about childbirth and periods. Don't even get me started on stuffed animals. I'm almost 25, for crying out loud.

I just cannot understand why B is getting so worked up over this one day. She already has a Plan A and a Plan B! Why B, why?!

If I'm into someone, I do not need Hallmark to put a deadline on me to do something nice, or get worked up over it. You all know I'm so.not.Type.A. with schedules and planning...unless it's a tropical vacation (and now we're off on a tangent)!

I would be happy with a slap on the bum and maybe a Whopper Jr. ...with fries."

Readers...share your thoughts about Valentine's Day!

Guidos in the Classroom?

Posted by: L

and her poof-, tan-, and house music-loving self

Alright, legalistas. If you have been habitually indulging in Thursday nights on MTV, getting your fix of guys with orange skin, spiky hair, and big muscles, or your find yourself wondering where you can find your very own juice-head, short of heading into Ed Hardy on Newbury, you will be pleased to know that you do not need to map out the quickest route over the GW and into the Garden State, but to just keep your cute butt seated and take a look around your classroom.

I know, you're probably going, "Whoa, whoa, whoa-- my classroom?"

Yup.

Your classroom.

Why? Because Vinny from the hit MTV show "The Jersey Shore" actually took the LSAT and had considered going to law school. Granted, he could use a little more GTL-time to get full on guid, but he's mostly there.

So, here's my logic: if Vinny took the LSAT and chose to attend law school, some chic in Rutgers or Seton Hall could very well, at this moment, be learning choice of venue/quasi-contracts/Glannon's words of wisdom with that cute lil Momma's Boy. There must be more that did not get drafted to spend 27 days in the Armpit of America and who actually had to, you know, make something of themselves the good old-fashioned hard way.

So, for the rest of us, here are some things to help you get started picking out the maybe-guids in your classroom:

Fresh to Death: (saying borrowed from Pauly D) fresh shoes, fresh haircut (or lineup), fresh clothes. You know, "gotta keep things fresh."

Tanned skin: It's winter in New England, at least here. The sun does not like to come out very often. If you see a hottie who looks like he just stepped off the plane from Miami, take a second guess, and figure it was probably bi-weekly sessions of 12 minutes in a super bed.

Hair gel: Maybe not a full on blow-out, because, well, that would just be too easy to spot. He definitely takes care in his appearance. See, "Fresh to Death," above.

Flash: Maybe he has tats, earrings, a big watch, or designer sunglasses. All four? Even better.

Social status: Not only is he out Thursdays, but full on the weekends too. Lesson: Get your ass to the bars and find them. A little hangover on Sunday is just a small price to pay. Get some Vitamin Water - Lemonade flavor and be like Snooki and stay in bed until 1:00 p.m.

Fist pump.
