So, um, Boston pretty much rocks at everything

By Justin | June 18, 2008

Congratulations to the Celtics on their 17th NBA title! Yet another win that proves just how much better than every other city Boston is. The AP ran an ecstatic post-game story: On a new parquet floor below aging championship banners, the Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title and a first one—at last—for Paul Pierce, [...]

It’s 12:30 and past my new bedtime

By Justin | January 11, 2008

I’ve got that feeling where I really want something to happen, but am increasingly unsure if it will. My day in Boston with Janet and Mad was very fun! We talked politics for an hour in a little cubby in the Boston Public Library. And I drank a beer that I didn’t find utterly intolerable. [...]

Two interesting hyperlinks

By Justin | December 7, 2007

Heh, who actually calls a link a “hyperlink” anymore? Krugman of the Times makes fun of America’s messed up priorities. Reuters says Boston doesn’t suck anymore, since all our sports teams are mopping the floors with their competitors. Duh. Share this entry:

That sharp golden streak cruising across the sky

By Justin | August 6, 2007

The scooter guy has a name; his name is Richard. He is 53 years old. Sails year-round; says winter is best. Moving to South Boston; disgruntled with the change. Has fans, picks up garbage; the police leave him alone. Leading a new “frontier”, he says. Healthiest shape of his life. He tells me, “You’ve got [...]

Lots of downpours, and a useless trip into town

By Justin | July 31, 2007

I got up this morning, as usual, brushed my teeth and got in the shower (after scratching all the excess skin flakes off my back, shoulders, and arms—I’m peeling again). Got my things together and headed off to work, as usual. I made pretty good time on the highway and enjoyed singing along to the [...]

Random thoughts about random stuff

By Justin | July 6, 2007

When I put my feet on the heater and type on my PowerBook, my wrists have a funny feeling of electrical charge. Not enough to get a shock from it, but this little sense of current that creates a bit of drag when I drag my wrists around the palm rests. The heater plate is [...]

Public baths in Boston?

By Justin | July 3, 2007

After I finish dinner at work, I usually take a walk outside and sit by the fountain at Copley Square. You can imagine my surprise when tonight, I walked across the grass to find the fountain… covered in a thick coat of soap suds: Children were throwing the frothy mixture at each other, and curious [...]
