A space odyssey
“New and old don’t actually mind being next to each other—a lot of people think they do,” says Halifax architect Alec Brown. He’s talking about a kitchen and common space renovation he did at his own Harvard Street home that wasn’t as much about adding to the area as it was re-imagining it. “We didn’t […]
A French kiss
“It all started with a beautiful range,” says Sappho Griffin of the stunning appliance that inspired this renovation. One-half of henhouse—creators of handcrafted furniture and custom kitchens—Griffin came onto the Bedford kitchen project mid-demo, after two walls had been taken down to open the small space to a dining area and front room. It was […]
Let there be light
A glance into Mary Stephen’s west end kitchen is kind of like taking a big, deep breath of fresh ocean air. It wasn’t always that way, with its dark royal blue cupboards and big old “conversation piece” stove but the rest of her beautiful 1940s home had strong bones begging for a kitchen update. Stephen, […]
Religion sucks
[Image-1] I realize I’m going out on limb here, but good Christ can we let religion find its way back into closets once occupied by the queer community? I get it: solace and comfort, sure. Like pets or a crossword or a puzzle. Or maybe like a good Facebook epithet for how to live your […]
Winter driving is difficult enough
[Image-1] Yes, another winter bitch! As we all know the city is trying to clear the roads as quickly as possible after each storm. With so much accumulation and so little space roadways become congested and with the addition of the ice from our last storm they have become hazardous in areas. So WHY do […]
Why am I still single!
[Image-1] I never would have dreamed that I would still be single at 54! I watched all my friends get married and I just remained alone! Why was I given such a bad hand?! And why can’t I get a date anymore?! Is it because I’m old?! I usually ask out men that are around […]
Dear Self
[Image-1] I fucking hate you. You are a subpar human being, and you’ll most likely amount to nothing because you can’t get your fucking shit together. It’s been five fucking years of this bullshit, isn’t it about time you got over it??? ADD. depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, fucking being molested as a kid… There […]
More more more
[Image-1] They’ve been calling every Monday to Friday and sometimes on weekends every week of every month for a loooooong time now to offer us more overtime. I hear it everyday. In the morning it’s” Would you like a 2:45 report? Would you like a 3:00 report etc, etc. Then in the afternoon it’s, Would […]
Fuck you 40!
[Image-1] this year myself and the majority of my friends are turning 40. I am so sick and tired of hearing ’40 is the new 30′ and ‘you’re only as young as you feel’. Well I feel like shit. My joints ache especially when it rains or snows. I am developing lactose intolerance. I get […]
A city only does as well as its poorest resident
[Image-1] The movie 12 Years A Slave is the account of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was drugged and abducted from Washington, DC and sold into slavery in Louisiana. In one scene, a conversation takes place between Solomon’s slavemaster and another white man who is against slavery. The other man (played by Brad […]
I’m such a terrible person
[Image-1] She deserves better. I lost my job recently and my girlfriend has been paying the rent since we moved out and will be paying for it until I find a full-time job, but it seems to hard to find one. I’ve applied to so many places with only two contacting me back. She treats […]
