What happens when the very quality that makes something so unique is the same quality that seemingly exploits it? When the "special thing" that sets something apart is the very same thing that allows it to gain popularity? I found myself pondering such quandaries during my time at Strange Creek Music Festival, held last weekend in Greenfield, Mass., as I frolicked among the hippies who also opted to spend their Memorial Day weekends dancing in a field eating grilled cheeses rather than … [Read more...]
Reflection on one’s self at a Whole Foods Market
May 9, 2011 By 11 Comments
I feel like a horrible human being. When people finish reading this article they will think, "Wow, Jackie is a huge bitch," and they are probably right. I won't lie, sometimes I can be kind of.. well.. bitchy. I don't want to be this way, but it just happens. Every now and then while out in public I tend to overreact and take my frustrations or annoyances out on the people around me. Sometimes these reactions are justified, but other times- like last night- I know I was … [Read more...]
Holy Sh*t I’m Moving yadda yadda Part 2!
December 13, 2010 By 2 Comments
The second and final installment of Angela's "HSIMTNYC" Video Diary has finally arrived! This video was a definitely more of a challenge to put together than the first. In part 1, the storyline had a clearly defined beginning, middle and end, which made it easier in terms of knowing what to film and how to edit it. Capturing life post-move was a little more difficult because, like, I'm still living it. So I did my best to take about two months worth of footage and make some type of … [Read more...]
Wormtown 2010: Jackie loses her festy v-card, Angela loses her sandals
September 21, 2010 By 2 Comments
JACKIE: Last weekend's Wormtown Music Festival was the perfect way to end the summer. ANGELA: Held at Camp Kee-Wanee in Greenfield, Mass., this festy has become a staple of my summer and serves as a fitting goodbye to the parade of live music that the season brings. J: My idea to attend the festival was a last minute decision. If you had asked me a couple weeks ago if I wanted to go to a music festival I would have said, “Ha! Ummm, no.” I am not really sure what spurred the idea. I … [Read more...]
‘Angry Birds’ take over my life

If you have an Ipod Touch and still want to maintain a social life- DO NOT READ THIS. It has been over three months now, and I have yet to grow tired of flinging birds into wood planks and TNT. As many of you know, there are tons of games that can be downloaded onto your Ipod. I am not a huge "gamer," but my boyfriend insisted I start playing this fruit cutting ninja game. I was intrigued for a day or two, but it grew old and I soon wanted something different. After going through a list … [Read more...]

Take them out to the ballgame… and hope they don’t get lost

Going “down to the city” to see the New York Yankees has always been a big deal in the Bunt house. I’ve been a Yankee fan since 1965- listening to games out on Long Island on a warm summer evening on Grandpa’s transistor radio- I worked quite hard to bias my three daughters toward the New York Baseball nine during their formative years and managed to bat .333, as Jackie is an ardent fan. Jackie told me she was taking me to the new stadium in the Bronx this year and bought a pair of … [Read more...]
“Hey man.. want to get digitally high?”
July 15, 2010 By 4 Comments
After trying to kill time since being unemployed, and searching for inspiration on what to write a Buntology story about, the first click of my Stumble-Upon button brought me to this article. The article details high school students in Oklahoma who were brought to the principal's office on suspicion of being high or drunk. But what the kids were actually high on was the music, mannn. What the students had tried is "I-Dosing," also known as digital drugs. This technology works through the … [Read more...]
