oh my god I updated! 
sally:
thanks for your comment, and i love your profile pic! 
I don't make it a habit of watching particular shows. The last show I made a point of catching every week was the first season of "24". I like to watch TV, but just don't watch it that much and when I do its usually just to veg out so I don't care all that much whats on. I will usually take in an episode...

>Was there any passing out or puking involved with your trauma?
No, I shook my hand and kept working - until the HVAC guy's son said "hey, I think you're bleeding." Then I had to stop & clean it off. At that point the pain really hit.
It's not even what it looks like. I was cutting some pipe and the blade bound up on me. It grabbed the pipe and smashed my thumb to a pulp.
Thank you

thanks for the comment on my set luv.
Bon jour!
Ive now exhausted 12.5% of my French vocabulary. The rest of it is as follows:
- bon soir
- merci
- monsieur
- mademoiselle
- enfant
- voila
And the following phrase that, unless used with the utmost tact at the precisely correct moment, will get one, at minimum, slapped in the face:
- Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir
Fortunately, I...

As much as I appreciate Nick Park & Aardman Animation, I can't really watch Wallace & Grommit anymore.
See, when we worked at the MFA, they had a W&G exhibit so the videos were playing constantly on the shop monitors. Sometimes I got stationed in the special extension shop where I sold nothing but W&G gear all day.
Anyway, I can't seem to find any solid info on the Dunkin' Donuts promotion with the Bruins. The shops out here don't know what I am talking about. Have you seen anything on it?
Even if that doesn't work, do you guys have any preferences on when to go or who you'd like to see them play? Red Wings?
Thank you

>I haven't heard anything about it at all. I tried doing a quick Google search and got nothing.
There's info on the Bruins web site about it. You buy 4 tickets to a game and get 4 tickets to another game from a certain set. You have to have a code from a coupon from DD though, and that's the part I can't find. The stores out here aren't "participating".
> I doesn't look like they play the Wings at all this season.
C'est la vie. Should we shoot for a weekend game?

I'm off to Quebec City for a couple of days for a conference and then off to Pittsburgh as soon as I get back to see my parents, who don't actually live there or anything, but that's another story altogether.
I've never been to Quebec City before, but I hear its quite lovely. Hopefully I can snap a few pictures when I'm not listening to...

Enough with the fucking ironic mustaches!! You look like a douche bag. Period. I am reminded of Wesley Willis's advice for sufferers of that other loathesome fashion faux pas, the mullet. It applies equally well here:

I had a good friend back when I was at UMass that always wore flip-flops. Not sandals mind you (which have thier own issues) but $.99 flip-flops. All winter long. He was half a dirty hippie. I made fun of him for it, but he was impervious.
There are also plenty of moustaches and mullets out here in the valley. Some are worn for irony, some not. I don't know which is worse.
Thank you

Any one who knows me knows that I am no fan of George Bush. But not even I would have predicted the collosal failure of leadership from this administration over the last few days in response to the hurricane. Let me be very clear ... I'm not blaming Bush for the hurricane. That is ridiculous. The hurricane was an act of God or the Flying...

Yeah, Sweet Destruction told us about the helmet deal. She said that after it happened one of the refs came over and checked all the girls helmets.
I haven't heard anything else since that weekend though.
I don't think I can make it, but the Boston Derby Dames are supposed to be at the Punk Rock Flea Market this weekend. We've been trying to get into that gig for 3 years now, but I swear they set it up guerilla style because I never find out about it in time to book a table.
Thank you

Damn, I haven't update in a while! And its not likely to change anytime soon. Not that many actually read this anyway. I've been ridiculously busy lately. The only time I've spent at home in the last two weeks is to sleep. Otherwise, I'm at work. And all next week I'll be at a conference in NH. Things should calm down before long and I'll...

Oi, thanks again for the CD. It may be because I listened to it in the car on the way home, but I didn't hear any flaws. And where did you guys find that Japanese gum?
Thank you

Hey man, how's it going? No updates since last I saw you, have you been busy, or just not spending much time online?
Did you ever get a chance to go check out the reggae etc. night at that bar in Allston?
Thank you

>and even dropped a hint about Japan!
That would rock! Keep me updated...
>I didn't make it to the reggae fest.
I actually just meant the bar in Allston with the Reggae/Motown DJs on Wednesday night.
>Maybe I was secretly saving it all up for the Skatalites in August. You are going to make it to this one, right?!
When & where is it? I have been looking at Boston listings, but I haven't seen anything.
>Are you and the ladyfriend still interested in going to a Revolution game?
Yeah, absolutley. She has Saturdays off, so that would be best, but Friday night could maybe work too. Let me know...

>I'll let you know. I think I still have your cell number around here somewhere.
Yeah, keep me updated. If you can't make it, they have another bout scheduled in August.
>Are you thinking about going to the Summer Reggae Jam next Sat (the 9th)? Toots and Buju Banton will be there. I have no idea how much it is or where it is (Suffolk Downs), but I'm going to find out more.
Sounds cool but we are going to Florida on the 11th and my girl has to work the day before, so I doubt we could really make it.
Suffolk Downs is a race track North of Boston. They used to have the Warped Tour dates there. If I remember correctly, you'd get on 93 North and head for route 16. I think it's in Revere, but don't quote me on that.
>Hey, I heard about this reggae/soul night in Allston (O'Brien's, I think). Know anything about it?
Oh Christ! I've had a flyer for that in my wallet since the Pietasters show. I kept meaning to tell you about it.
"Get Smart! Every Wednesday. Top DJs spin your favourite: Motown hits, Jamaican Oldies, Northern Soul & Trojan Reggae. Free BBQ!!! $2 Drafts!!! O'Brien's Pub, 3 Allston Ave. Allston. 21+. Brought to you by anewengland.com and sponsored by Spit Shine Records and Dirty Water Motorsport."

I guess you won't be seeing this for a while. I hope your move goes as smoothly as possible.
The show on Friday night was great. One of the best Pietasters gigs I've seen. They came on and announced they would be playing until they weren't allowed to anymore, and they came through. They played every song they have ever recorded. (except the ones they didn't) They also did a cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together", and what seemed to be a couple of new tunes.
Opening acts were Riki Rocksteady (Tight, but a little slow for my tastes) and Mass Hysteria. They are like the little brother of WBT. The two bands used to share members, but not anymore. Mass Hysteria's sax & guitar players used to be with WBT. We've seen them play a bunch of times and they are a decent band (the kind you like to see as an opening act) but unlike WBt who have grown out of the eternal opener slot, it seems like these guys aren't quite going to make it. The singer is a young woman, and as much as I wish there were more female vocals in modern ska, she has some growing to do. She has a nice voice, (almost like Caz from Checkered Cabs) but relies too heavily on vocal tricks like that little growl-y thing jazz singers used to do.
On another topic, I just got word that the Providence Roller Derby clubs will be having more bouts this summer. The first of which will be on Sunday July 3rd. They will have fireworks & everything. There is a team forming in Boston, but they're not sure if they will be ready in time, so it might just be the two R.I. teams again.
My friend said that they were supposed to take on the NYC team, but they backed out because they felt the RI teams didn't have enough clout, deciding instead to go to Minnesota. I told her that I had a friend who went to the Minnesota bouts and that if you weren't moving to Boston, I'd have you spit on the NYC teams.
OK, that's enough. Let me know when you get to town.
Thank you
