(that’s the corkboard at Custom Barber Shop in Harvard Square)
I was just walking home from work in Arlington Center (!) and totally saw a pimp drop off a smokin’ hot young hooker at an apartment building on Mass Ave.
For a second I was tempted to call out “What’s in that envelope is for my peace of mind. My peace of mind is worth [...]

WASHINGTON – U.S. Energy Secretary Stephen Chu announced his resignation this morning amid new reports that Alameda County workers had unearthed more than a dozen additional dead hobo bodies at his former home in Berkeley, California. The Nobel Prize-winning physicist had been the subject of a week-long [...]
Damn – venturing out into the snow for burritos today was nerve-wracking fun.
Weren’t a bunch of goofs trying to get Arlington to pass a law like the one being abused here, just a couple of years ago?
An hour or so ago I drove past an odd-looking guy walking down Garden Street in Harvard Square. Was that…? Yes, it sure was:

Officer looks askance at DFF, while DFF snaps pic after pic, chuckling.
DFF: Sorry – when I am ever going to see something this absurd again?
OFFICER: …
OFFICER: Around here? You never know.
One thing I know – that’s no General Lee.
Slipping mad props for one of your favorite artists into an only semi-related product review! Well done, anonymous Boston Globe Business writer, well done!
Archenemy GF does not enjoy answering the door for all the cute little kiddies on Halloween. It’s not that she doesn’t like the cute little kiddies – she does – but doesn’t like the prospect of repeated interruptions to her dinner, consumption of HGTV shows, and other oh-so-important things. And she particularly doesn’t enjoy [...]
How UPS got William Gibson’s Spook Country to me:
West Sacramento, CA -> Mather, CA -> Louisville, KY -> Poughkeepsie, NY -> Newark, NJ -> Philadelphia, PA -> Stratford, CT -> Windsor Locks, CT -> Watertown, MA -> Arlington, MA
(this took three days, instead of Amazon Prime’s promised two)
WTF, UPS? Time to lay off the sauce, [...]

My roomate Max loves to make films for the You Tube. He made one about me. It’s only half true, tho.
