Boo-urns

I gotta say, it was quite enjoyable to watch the President get booed as he threw out the first pitch at the Nationals game last night.


I Is a Plumber

Today, I completed my first-ever tasks related to plumbing. I removed the old nozzle from the kitchen sink and replaced it with a new, properly-aerating one, and I also replaced the handheld sprayer with one that has all of its components and therefore doesn’t just trickle water haphazardly about. I’m handy!
Combined with our [...]

Steal This iPhone followup

The Eagle-Tribune published a follow-up story on the iPhone thefts, which is mostly a “how they did it” article. Read it here.
It also features a photo of my old (and clearly now ex-)manager dressed up in Arraignment Orange.
Yikes.

Steal This iPhone

One of my managers when I worked at the Apple Store Rockingham Park was arrested yesterday for stealing 332 iPhones from the store with his accomplice and Rock co-worker. (The former manager in question is the younger of the two mentioned in the article.)
I feel that this makes a good excuse to break out [...]


This Weekend’s Shows

As mentioned, The Woodrow Wilsons played two shows this weekend. Both were generally a good heap of fun. Friday was Blastfest, which essentially consisted of the Whitehaus moving itself to the Cambridge YMCA and having a hoot. Sets were short and it was pretty much like a hit-and-run barrage of bands and [...]


Rock Shows

In lieu of having anything of interest to actually say, I’m going to promote this weekend’s Woodrow Wilsons shows. Friday at the Cambridge YMCA and Saturday at Razzy’s in Somerville. Please do come see us play our “orchestral pop”, as The Dig deemed our style to be.
Check out the WW’s myspace page for [...]

A Patriot’s Day Observance

I didn’t realize this since I haven’t lived in Wisconsin for just shy of 20 years, but I have always lived in a state where Patriots’ Day is a holiday. This is notable because only three states observe Patriots’ Day: Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Maine (because Maine was originally part of Massachusetts).
An interesting fact!


Superpup!

Starka plays in her new home.
Ladles and jellyspoons, say hello to Starka, our new dog. She’s a pit bull and boxer mix, about a year and a half old, and comes to us by way of the MSPCA.
She is patently adorable and will kiss you until you cannot physically stand it anymore. This [...]


Dear Major League Baseball

Kindly go fucking fuck yourself.
Love,
Tape
P.S. The Harwich Mariners existed before the Seattle Mariners, and I know that the New York Mets actually GIVE their old home whites to the Hyannis Mets, proving your whole argument is bunk.
P.P.S. do not fuck with the Cape Cod Baseball League, or I will find a way to destroy Major [...]


Dan Grabauskas’ successor: FOUND

This kid has already done more “work” than Dan Grabausakas ever has (or will) for the MBTA. He should be given the MBTA GM job immediately, just after Danny’s public hanging at the Parkman Bandstand.
