| If it snows enough this week |
[Feb. 9th, 2010|02:34 pm] |
Would anyone like to join me and cross country ski the beach? The upper beach needs to hold at least 8 to 10 inches of snow to make it worth while. The beach is empty and the waves crashing below are an amazing counterpoint to the swish of the snow below.
I'll even bring Byron and introduce a few hardy soles to Skijoring
If it snows enough of course. It is to soon to tell if we will have enough snow, but if I see some interest I will post snow totals and pick a time and place to meet. |

WELL WELL WELL, LOOKS LIKE WE CAN'T HIDE FROM THE SNOW, IT KNOWS WHERE WE LIVE. BUT IT'S BEEN CHEATING ON US WITH WASHINGTON DC AND NEW JERSEY, AMONG OTHER PLACES. NOW IT IS TRYING TO APOLOGIZE WITH A MEASLY 5 - 10 INCHES. WELL, SORRY SNOW, YOU KNOW WE HAVE INTERNET NEWS NOW SO WE KNOW ALL ABOUT YOUR LITTLE TRYST.
WE LIVE IN BOSTON. HERE IS THE FORECAST FROM DYLAN DRESCHER OF WHDH WEATHER:
"Snowfall Forecast: There's a special map on the main weather page with expected snowfall. One model is drying us out, the other is giving us more snow. So...that particular map is my interpretation. I think most areas will see around 5-10 inches of snow, with higher amounts mainly across southeastern MA."
I JUST WENT TO THE SUPERMARKET AND BOUGHT TEN SHOVELS AND TWELVE GALLONS OF CARLO ROSSI, IN ORDER TO KICK THIS SNOW'S ASS, I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME.
WE DON'T WANT YOU ANY MORE SNOW, YOUR NOVELTY HAS WORN OFF, WE'RE GONNA START CHASING AFTER SUMMER NOW, THANKS
EDIT: UPDATED MAP, WINTER TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR WHAT IT'S DONE. WILL CONTINUE UPDATING PERIODICALLY. |

| Torch Sighting - What was that? |
[Feb. 9th, 2010|10:51 am] |
I'm sitting up on Mass Ave in Cambridge at the office when I hear a police car with its speaker on. Given that I'm not ground floor, I can't make it out. When I peek out the window, I see the cop car, four people running, one carrying a torch, an ambulance and another following car.
What was that? I can't seem to find anything on Google to explain it, since all references to 'torch' and 'Boston' end up talking about the Olympic torch that went through last month or the month before.
Edit: Never mind. It appears I gave up too soon. SOS THE AMERICAS: The Torch of Life Stops in Cambridge Tuesday, Feb. 9

| Sleep No More wiki page - share your experiences here! |
[Feb. 8th, 2010|07:38 pm] |
Hey everyone - I set up a wiki page for Sleep No More. Specifically, I was hoping to catalog the rooms, the performances, the interactions people had with the various actors, along with general thoughts or interpretations of events. Of course since this is a wiki, it can turn into whatever people want it to be. Hopefully by publicizing on b0st0n it doesn't turn into a memefest. Calculated risk, I know.

Thanks! |

So apparently The Kells has finally died from all the STDs thriving on its various surfaces, and will be replaced by a fourth Tavern on the Square restaurant, despite protests from the local Rohypnol reseller's union.

| Shared artist studio space available in Salem, MA |
[Feb. 8th, 2010|01:20 pm] |
I am looking for someone to share my silkscreen production/retail space. It would be ideal if you were a silk screen artist but the space is flexible so any artist or business is welcome. I have about 1500 sf of first floor production space with a small retail storefront on a main street in Salem completely set up for high-end silk screen production. As a studio mate you would be able to share the equipment I have (including a 6 color press, belt dryer/oven, darkroom, etc).
I also have a great basement space with high ceilings, clean level floor and work benches that would make a great artist studio. Perfect for any kind of artist that needs a quiet work space. 24/7 access, free parking, next to mbta station, 3 minute walk to downtown salem.
rent is dependent on how much space you need and includes wireless internet, heat and electricity.
please email me with any questions or to come and see the space...

| Part Year Resident / Newly 18 |
[Feb. 8th, 2010|11:34 am] |
Just an FYI regarding the Health Care forms you have to fill out when you do your taxes -
I can't speak for HR Block or other online prep packages, but Turbo Tax doesn't properly handle people with "Special Circumstances" - part year residents, people turning 18, and final forms for the deceased - basically anyone who was only required to have coverage for part of the year.
Quick solution: If you had qualifying coverage for every month you were alive, over 18, and a Mass resident, you should check that you were coverd for the Full year, not the Part year, and then skip all of the other qualifying crap on pages 2 and 3 of the form. More in-depth: check out the "Special Circumstances" sections on pages HC-1 and HC-2 of the instructions at http://www.mass.gov/Ador/docs/dor/health%20care/2009/HC%20instr.pdf
Oh, and, a quick Fuck You! from me to Turbo Tax. |

| scooter rental? |
[Feb. 7th, 2010|05:02 pm] |
Hello b0st0n,
Wasn't it fun watching other parts of the country get all the nasty weather for once? Yeah, I thought so too.
I'm thinking ahead to spring, specifically to figuring out how to celebrate my impending graduation, and concluded that renting a scooter for a few days to ride around MA would be perfect. However, I'm having a hard time finding a place that definitely does this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks dudes! |

Boston ranked "least drunk" city in the nation!
Given the fact that they use number of DUIs and liver disease deaths, among other things, to determine the drunkenness of a city, I'm not surprised. Boston is full of young people who don't drive. Still... the gauntlet has been thrown down, my friends. |

Due to a post below, I thought I'd update my list of ways to make money via colleges and focus groups. There's a bunch, so I'm putting it behind a cut.
