( Dear Joe, )

Last night, I went downtown with cosmicserpent to see the Bruins play the Hurricanes in the second round of the playoffs. They won in convincing fashion. I still think Carolina could steal a win or two, but I saw nothing to suggest they'll upset the Bruins. All in all, it was a fun game, and it left me more than a little giddy (yes, like the proverbial ( Read more... )

Are we all tired of talking, reading, thinking, and dreaming of the Battlestar Galactica finale yet?

( Definitely. )

I told the bartender to pour me another glass,
And light me a smoke, so I can sing some jazz.

Never before have I wished that I could somehow rock a yellow suit. Tonight, I wished that wish. I wished it hard. There were other wishes, but that's the only one fit for public consumption.

I read a lot of books this year (90), although I'd read 11 of them previously. Despite the number, I honestly thought this list would be a lot easier to compile than the other two, as I'd actually made an effort to make notes about each of them as I read them. Sadly, my notes were rather pointless and inane, and while you might think would make ( Read more... )

I know it's kind of late notice, but I've got one (1) extra ticket to the Boston Ballet for tomorrow (Thursday, February 12) at 7 PM (Parenthesis). The show is "Black and White", but you can wear colors, if'n you want. The ticket is $38, but I'm willing to negotiate.

I know that I saw more movies than this, but as I hadn't kept track of the others in any kind of systematic way, I decided to keep my list somewhat limited. Of course, this has led to some controversial exclusions, such as the ( Read more... )

I spent a not insignificant amount of time last night watching YouTube videos of cute animals with my roommates.

I'm pretty sure my penis has just been revoked.

While I usually avoid doing memes (for a variety of reasons, but mostly because I'm terrified that my responses will be unbearably boring), I've always wanted to do year-end top-ten lists. I don't mean to suggest that I'm some great critic or arbiter of taste, because, quite frankly, I'm not. But some small portion of what I experience every year ( Read more... )

Sight: I've never been to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and I've decided I want to go. This weekend, anyone?

Sound: I just found out that Adele is playing at the Somerville Theater next week, and I really want to go. It's sold out, but tickets are available on StubHub for ... well ... too much money. Does anyone want to convince me to ( Read more... )
