This morning I was snug as a bug in a rug when I hear this noise at about 6:45am:
"iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
love to love you bayyyyybeeee"
huh? Sounds familiar....
"iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
love to love you bayyyyybeeee"
Oh my god, AM disco. I have to say, Donna Summer is very popular in my neighborhood.
Probably because she is from here. Like why NKOTB is still popular in Dot.
Now I am going to have boogie in my step all day today....

Oh and don't forget to vote
A poll on who you'd vote for in the2008 Presidential Election.
Vote often.
Everyone is allowed to vote.
More than once if you like.
Now, I'm just saying
Not that I really care, but seriously, it would totally rock if the Sawx pulled one out of their asses and closed the 0-7 gap.
And the sad part is I totally forgot that Manny Delcarmen was on the team!
Whoops!
Hey, at least I admit I am only a fan when they're winning in the post-season.

Go Pats Go!
Ok so after 6 wins it is gonna SUCK when they lose.
But I am not going to worry about that until they play the Colts in November.
The Pat's bye week isn't until the week after that game, so that is the only reason I am a little nervous. But probably it is only going to help them maintain their momentum.
Well, whatever, GO PATS!

Laughed, spent, ate, cooked.....
Weekend roundup:
Friday: went to see Zanna, Don't! at the Speakeasy with Brucealicious and laughed more in an hour and forty-five minutes than I did all last week. Went for affogado after and then came home and started a batch of bread.
Saturday: Got up, had brekkie with the Evil Twin, went to the farmer's market with Julibanana and spent all my money. Went to the library for a book, then home to finish bread - which turned out completely crap and was promptly turned into bird food. I think I did something else, but I forget what. Oh yeah, I made granola and I made a batch of yogurt.
Sunday: Got up and then pretty much spaced out until the Evil Twin came to get me to go get Grandpy and we all went to Upstairs on the Square for Momma's birthday brunch. I had to say I preferred the Pudding to the Square - shoddy service (slow, inefficient), lots of flies, and ungenerous amounts of coffee were hardly hallmarks at the Pudding! However, the food was good and I ate plenty.
Then I came home and started to cook. I made farmer's market veg soup with orzo and I am trying to make a non-crap batch of bread. I also made some pizza dough.
The reason I am making all this food is because I am challenging myself to eat nothing commercial for one week.
Seriously, I eat way too much processed and chemically crap. It's doing my head in.
So far I have learned that the farmer's market is expensive but the veg is astonishingly different from supermarket veg.
I kind of knew that would be true, but honestly the taste of the farm carrot compared to the market carrot is as different as the taste between cheddar cheese and a rotten anchovy.
I've also learned that finding locally grown/made is not so easy. I mean really, Boston is home to the bean and the cod, the least I could hope to find are a few local beans!
And lastly I've learned that Whole Foods and Trader Joes are now similarly priced, and in some instances Whole Foods is cheaper. Which is sort of a bummer.
We'll see how long this experiment lasts. I predict that it will last until about coffee & munchkin break on Monday.
*sigh*

Giant Water Claw of Doom
There is no other way to describe this terrifying wave thrown up by Typhoon Krosa than to call it a Giant Water Claw of Doom.
From CNN:
You would never ever see that kind of wave at Castle Island.
No wonder a million Chinese people are evacuating.

What the heck is Halo 3?
Yeah, I have no clue about video games. The last video game I played was Donkey Kong or maybe Campaign '84 on an Adam computer. Then at some stage the Evil Twin got a Nintendo. Or was it an Atari? And I got really good at Duckhunt.
But now I dunno.... X-Box, PSP, Wii... these aren't even words to me. Just a bunch of vowels and consonants hanging out.
Are they even called video games any more?
However, I am in love with the Halo 3 ad. I think Halo 3 is a video game but whateve, the ad is really good.
It is an examination of a battlefield diorama set to Chopin's Prelude No. 15 in D-flat "Raindrop".

Craigslist Free Stuff Roundup
I haven't done one of these in a while.
Don't say I never give yous anything!
@*@*@*@*@*@
To carry all your stuff around in, how about some burlap bags? You have to take 100 of them. That would be great for wrapping trees in for the winter. Or you could make them into wedding favors I guess...
If you want 'em: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/zip/440672530.html
For the culinarily minded folk among us, how about some P-Town taffy?
Five pieces, free, garlic flavored. Did I mention it's free? Check it out: http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/zip/439283929.html
If you are hip to all crap retro, this water bed from the menopausal woman in Duxbury is a must have. Specifically it must be filled with water from a hose. As opposed to spit from a dropper. But whateve, it available, go get it at: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/zip/437229392.html
Huh, this person is offering free BBQ. Which I think means BBQ food. Because in my mind BBQ comes from a grill. I wonder if that is a regional thing... Well anyway, the ad doesn't really specify either. You be the judge here: http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/zip/441154832.html
T-t-t-t-t-t-hat's all folks!
Good luck and happy free stuffin'!

Last thing I swear!
I know that everyone is chiming in on the anonymous city officials who claim that the autopsy reports of the two firefighters killed in West Roxbury and that my opinion is just a small drop in the ocean, but hey what's two more cents.
What makes me crazy is that there are people going on about how the "public" has the "right" to know if their firefighters are drunk or high. Puhleez!
Doctors abuse drugs & alcohol, as do EMT's, and police officers, and teachers, and airline pilots, and bus drivers, and these are people who guide us through our present daily lives.
For that matter, lots of people I encounter free admit to taking recreational drugs.
Not only that but about 90% of all the people I know have driven a car after having three or more drinks.
And it's always all fine until someone dies.
Like these two firefighters. Now people seem so determined to enjoy dragging the dead through the mud. Even if they are probably a little mud spattered themselves.
And finally, the real criminals here are the owners/operators of the restaurant as well as the city restaurant inspectors at ISD. Were the restaurant grease traps never cleaned? Did ISD ever tell them to clean it? That is a lot of grease, not just a thin coating.
For a grease fire to smolder in a ceiling for hours, while letting diners continue their meal, until it explodes and kills people, THAT'S criminal.
And how much do I hate Channel 7 news for jumping back on this story a day after they were ordered not to? A whole lot.
And how pathetic is Channel 7 for whining that they were the first with the news and they would have reported it FIRST only they were BLOCKED from breaking it by the courts and the union? Really f*cking pathetic.
It's sad that Channel 7's lead story is all about how they were SHAFTED on their scoop, especially when the breaking news should be about the 13 year-old boy who was shot and killed in Dorchester.
It would be great if lots of people stopped watching 7 news.
Ok, I am done.
I swear.

Sawx Win One
Game One goes to the Sox.
But I am still not excited.
Because in truth I am really just a Pats fan.
Because it's only Game One. It's not like it's Game 7 of the World Series.
Ahhhhhh, but I do think Jason Varitek is hawwwwt.
Even if I wouldn't recognize him in person. Not even if he walked up to me and handed me a baseball that David Ortiz hit out of the park in the bottom of the tied up ninth in Game Seven of the World Series against the Yanks.
Or something like that....

Five people voted (whoo hoo!!) and two of them voted that the Best Slow Songis......

News like on the police blotter
Since pretty much all news lately seems to be written by ex-Enquirer employees (Britney Loses Custody of Boys! New South End Dog Park Set to Open!) I think that it would be useful if someone could write news articles in easy-to-digest police-blotter style paragraphs.
It would be better than having to get some ding-dong reporters annoying opinion mixed up with fact.
Seriously, I am so sick of the bias, and the sensationalism, and the laziness, and the general "blergh-iness" of the news in general, I am thinking of just reading the AP wire headlines.
Like right now for example, all the major news channels are advertising the 11 o'clock news with lurid tales of the two firefighters recently killed in a restaurant fire. They are saying that one had alcohol in his system, while the other had cocaine.
What makes me so totally disgusted is that they are pretty much basing these reports on "anonymous" sources.
For crying out loud!
These are two DEAD firefighters. Killed at a fire from an smoldering, exploding ceiling. They left behind waves of family and friends and co-workers who are still trying to cope with this dreadful awful loss.
Leave them alone, have a little respect.
Just like this weekend when a young Revere police officer was fatally shot in the head. Newscasters could stop themselves from making dramatic and ultimately untruthful suggestions that perhaps the bullet came from another officer or that it was very suspect that they were hanging out after hours...
There is a reason that newscast audiences are tuning out and newspaper readers are dropping off - the quality of news is crap.
It's not news, it's an affront to everyone from 1st graders on up.

At least he's not boss of me!
Mister President - you sound like a real a**hole.
From a talk he gave in Pennsylvania:
"I delegate to good people. I always tell Condi Rice, `I want to remind you, Madam Secretary, who has the Ph.D. and who was the C student. And I want to remind you who the adviser is and who the president is."
I have worked for people like this, no - not the president, and believe me, anyone who says something like this is a really a**hole to work for.
The kind of person whose picture gets used as a dartboard target at happy hour.

En route to 38 or better
GO PATS
They are in Cincy tonight, playing the Bengals.
And holy crap them Buckeyes sure are LOUD.
That's awesome.
Two of my favorite people are Ohioans - SallyNaNa, and Karenanowrimo, so I sort of feel more generous than I normally would.
So GO PATS
And: Good Job Bengals!

Eh, that is SO 1995
Sox win the division, eh, whateve.
Now they're in the playoffs..... *yaaaaaawn*
In a month or so it's going to be either:
Whoo hoo just like three years ago!!!
or
Gawd, it's just like fuckin' Bucknah all ovah again!
Personally I think Boston and Sox fans in general are happier when there is 86 years between pennants. It's not that Sawx fans like to suffah, but it's like how they deal with chicks - no one likes the ones that put out all the time.
Take it to the edge and then dash all hopes - it keeps 'em hanging on for more.

It's the jet fuel fumes
How else can anyone explain why two smartish people do completely dumb sh*t at the airport?
First there was Sun Starship from MIT who went to Logan with a LiteBrite tee-shirt and then instead of answering any questions from the Staties like "hey, what are those wires for?" she kept walking.
She's lucky she is still alive.
And then there is Ermiyas A. Asfaw from Washington DC who really had no clue about the complete lack of any sense of "hue-mah" (humor for those of you not from here) of every airport employee and State Troopah.
Seriously, if you express any tendency towards mirth, Massport will not allow you onto airport grounds.
It seems that Asfaw made an un-funny non-joke with the intent to antagonize an airline employee.
Honestly, would Al Qaeda announce themselves and their plans in English to some numbnut from Eastie?
Like Dean would say: I DOWDIT.
But you piss off that same numbnut he is going to call over the Staties. And then you're really f*cked because they've all had their humor glands surgically removed at State Troopah School.
And Asfew has no excuse - he is from Washington DC for crying out loud! I bet he would never said that at Dulles.
So it must be the fumes. Or the water.
