Rumpole: A new voice emerged over the Thanksgiving holiday. A reader who claims to be a young woman who works in the REGJB.
We haven't reached an agreement on her unfettered access to the blog, but for the moment, call it on a temporary basis, we are letting her blog. Her nom du blog is Millennial Me. #letthegirlblog indeed.
#LETTHEGIRLBLOG
YEA! It's me. Millennial Me. A blogger. Wait until Mom and Dad read this!
It's Sunday, which means lets keep this light. I have definite thoughts on lots of issues that affect us all. But for today let me say this:
It won't be pretty in Foxborough for our home town eleven. The Patriots are going to beat our Dolphins like a Revolutionary snare drum.
I don't watch a lot of television, (as a true millennial I have cut the cable cord and just watch my shows on Netflix, Amazon and Hulu. But mostly I read and listen to podcasts) but here are the top five shows of all time:
5) M*A*S*H
4) The Wire
3) Sopranos
2) Mad Men
1) Breaking Bad
Belongs in the top five but couldn't be squeezed in: All In The Family and The Walking Dead. Both ground breaking in their own right.
Marvel vs. D.C? D.C wins. Batman. Superman. Wonder woman. Flash. Arrow.
I do love Spiderman and that's Marvel. But D.C wins.
(Yes, I am a nerd).
Reading about the solution to Fermat's last theorem is an all weekend affair that will keep anyone who loves a good math mystery interested. Check out the books by Simon Singh and Amir Aczel.
I recently went to Amoeba music in Berkeley, California and it was a life-changing experience. I'm going to soon become all about the vinyl. Although on a State salary, I need to move slowly.
I feel like there will be pressure for me to talk about being a single girl in Miami. But I wonder if I was male would people be interested in my looks and dating life?
When I arrived in Miami I tried, I really tried to get by without a car. Bus service sucked. The metrorail doesn't cover this town at all- like for example Aventura (the Mall (dreamy heart signs that I want Rumpole to put in) ) and Uber/Lyft at 20 bucks a day is more expensive than a car. So I gave in and bought a nice used one. But the lack of public transportation makes Miami much less attractive than Boston, NY, or Chicago. My guess is my next stop is a law firm in Boston in another two years.
iPhone X. iPhone 8. A thousand bucks!! I wish. (If mom and dad are reading, and christmas is coming...please?? I can go halfsies).
Want to chat? Give me ideas to blog about? Millennialme786@gmail.
Until then....#letthegirlblog
Oh.. and thank you Rumpole the great one. You were my true hero until we exchanged testy emails. But even after your crankiness I still, kinda like you. (Kiss on the cheek).
MM.
A star is born.
ReplyDeleteCheap tripe. I've asked about two hundred times to become a contributor. Better than capitan butt-face-boring. But the first pretty little thing that bats eyes at you gets a gig? Really??
ReplyDeleteUsed to be a decent blog. This is the beginning of the end
ReplyDeleteshe is probably a 400 pound old lady sitting on a used stained couch in Perrine.
ReplyDeleteThe Blog
ReplyDelete2005 - 2017
May you rest eternally in the hallowed archives of Google
You actually sound like an interesting person certainly more interesting than the average chick in Miami that is just looking fir someone to marry.
ReplyDeleteMy question is do you agree that most millennial as cannot accept constructive criticism?
And kind of think they know it all at a young age?
12:06 and 1:29, please stop reading. Go to your favourites bar and remove the blog link. Then never ever ever check out the blog ever again. You'll both be much happier for it.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Miami has the dolphins
ReplyDeletethe greatest football team except when they play the patriots
they take the ball from the 20 to the 29 like no one's ever seen
they're in the air for an incomplete pass
they're on the ground for two yards
they always have to punt
and when you're talking dolphins
you're talking 3-13
TD JETS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJ E T S
JETS JETS JETS
Idiotic post.
ReplyDeleteGoing out on a big stretch to pick the 17.5 point favorite Patriots over the putrid Dolphins.
The Wire tops all the other shows, and while I love the Walking Dead, it is not a top 10 show of all time. Fear the Walking Dead is even better.
DC properties are mostly rip off of Marvel properties. Also the movies are horrible compared to Marvel.
Amoeba is just a very large record store. Yawn. Go find a small local record store. Also most modern vinyl isn't pressed properly and sound worse than cassette tapes.
No one cares about male or female dating life in Miami. Great you can look at people from work who always talk about the same stuff, or you can find someone random on Tinder or any other app. Fan-fucking-tastic. We've all dated.
Please go to Boston now. You don't like it get to stepping.
The iPhone is no where as good as the Galaxy. If you want one, you can get it put into your plan and it will cost you an extra $35/45 a month. Or how about instead of asking your parents and wasting time on the blog you get a second job - I've seen ASAs and PDs take on teaching jobs or work at restaurants at night.
Keep brushing up on DWLS and petit theft trials while you are in county court.
Millennial Me — here is the SIR KENNTH W test of worthiness ...
ReplyDeleteWhat tastes better - Black Truffles or White Truffles?
Loro Piana or Bruno Cuchinelli?
Range Rover or Lexus GX460?
How long do you wait for Bones or Eddie to call your name for a table at Joe’s on Super Bowl night?
South Beach or Coral Gables?
Vacation in Tokyo or Paris?
Fox Business Channel vs CNBC

The people saying this is the end of the blog are sexist pigs. Go away then. We don’t want your comments. Bye.
ReplyDeleteHow is the walking dead groundbreaking?
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you what I don't like- the endless introductions of both offenses and defenses on the games. It seems like it takes forever and who cares in this era of specialized plays and players?
ReplyDeleteGame of thrones , curb your enthusiasm and Ali g should get mentioned but the girl has no sense of humor? Why didn’t you move struggling to a big city- you are wasting important time.
ReplyDeleteThis is why it is good that Rumpole and I are not known... I can say this.
ReplyDeleteDear Richard Hersch,
Stop screaming at everyone. Chill!
Your friend who is in there often and tired of him going crazy when someone doesn't do what he says in 10 seconds or less.
sheesh what a buncha bums. Here's hoping MM will bring a classier crowd to this joint.
