Makati vs. Makatí

kati: Word: kati
English Definition: 1) lowtide (noun) 2) itchy, scratchy -- MAKATI (adj)
Source: http://www.seasite.niu.edu/Tagalog/
Tagalog: kati English: lowtide, itchy, scratchy

When I was younger, my mom told me that I was always moving around. "If you're not moving, you're talking. If you're not talking, you're moving," she'd say. "Makatí yung paa!" Literally, "Your feet are itchy."

Though I've definitely calmed down from that fidgety version of me, I still have "itchy feet."

Now, I know that probably sounds gross...like I've got some strange fungus growing on my feet...but I promise you that I don't have any fungi on my toesies.

The problem with Bunker Hill Day

Firstly, it's only celebrated in Suffolk County...but not really, because there's tons of places that are open.

Secondly, a holday smack dab in the middle of the week like this, and near the end of the school year...it's just asking for trouble.

Thirdly, days like this leave me restless and needing to do things.

Pink Martini at the Boston Opera House

Pink Martini at the Boston Opera House was amazing!!!

Last year, when Bill and I saw them, they didn't have an opening band, and played for about 2 hours! This year, they had this cute little band called Sneaking Out that featured an electric ukulele, an acoustic electric bass, and an amazing percussionist sporting a mohawk, a tie-dye shirt, and a pink tu tu.

Thomas Lauderdale and China Forbes noted all these different movie references that correspond with some of Pink Martini's songs. So, Bill and I have some movies to check out :)

Sorry, but I really don't like dentists....

****UPDATE June 12, 7:10pm****

So, let me rethink the title a bit....it's not the actual people behind the dentist....those people I really can be cool with....not that attractiveness has anything to do with it like at the Brookline Gentle Dental.....

I just don't like how sadistic dentists are.....admit it, you guys are sadists....there's nothing necessarily wrong with it...except that we're not necessarily consenting to it, other than we have absolutely no choice - we suffer either way.
