The Beantown Bloggery

I've reached the age (I'm 30) where everyone around me seems to be graduating from something, getting married, or having kids.  Meanwhile, I'm sort of stuck in limbo - it's ok, though, I'm enjoying limbo.  But the problem that arises is that I find myself online constantly ordering shower gifts, graduation gifts, etc.  I'm not sure who loves me more at this point, American Express or Crate and Barrel. 

So I'm trying to mix things up a little bit now.  For my last baby shower shower gift, I bought my friend Phil the "Go the F*ck to Sleep" (sort of) kids book.  Google it, it's hilarious.  Oh and if you happen to get the audio book, it's narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. 

Friends getting married are of course registered somewhere, so I end up choosing from wherever they are registered. 

This leaves me my graduating from med/law/grad school friends, where I have a little more leeway, so I've been sending them booze.  Everyone loves alcohol.  And that's pretty much how everyone celebrates nowadays, right?  For those that are in town, I'll of course show up in person and buy a rew rounds of shots.  But if they're out of town, I find that Wine.com does a good job of providing a selection of gifts with a wide price range - you know so I can choose depending how much I really like the person.  I also use them for myself because often times I'll read about a wine in Wine Spectator and then end up not being able to find it in any of the nearby wine stores.  It's way less frustrating to just go online and order it.
