I’m getting started on the bad puns early; I predict they’ll be flying when Darwin’s Ltd. opens its second location on Cambridge Street sometime in the near future.I happened upon it today on my way to work; it’s in the old Tiny Bubbles building at 1629 Cambridge, and it looks like they’re busy in there […]

Who knows where we’ll be next year – maybe we’ll be in Boston, maybe we won’t. So this weekend, we took the opportunity to do a couple of those things we’d always wanted to do but never had the chance before. Saturday morning, we hit the road, briefly, for a day trip to Providence. Aimee […]

The following things, I learned last night, are all associated with a period of history known as “medieval”: bawdy limericks, Shakespeare, monks, chastity belts, the Irish, and Simon and Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair.” Thirteen of us ventured (and that is the correct word) through the heart of the Big Dig to The Medieval Manor Theatre Restaurant, […]

Another winter weekend (this has to be one of the last, right?) began with the Friday night’s Main Event, DJ Spooky at Sanders Theater. Our seats were in the third row, which meant that not only were we as close together as sardines in a tin (bye, Dan), but we had to crane our necks […]

I always seem to pick shows at the Middle East that go on during bad weather, making the trip there and back as interesting as the show itself. Last night that was certainly the case as I trekked across a deserted, wind-blown, snow-drifted Central Square to see Keren Ann. A line had formed by the […]

My one day off per quarter coincided nicely with the snowfall last night so I got to spend the day inside in my flannel pajamas while the world outside got slowly covered in white. I get the day off to work on the website from home, and there was enough snow to cancel school in […]

I had dinner and drinks with Tim, in from St. Louis, at ZuZu last night, where we discussed our photobooth project and caught a few good tunes from Vinyl Skyway, an unexpected bonus. It was the first ‘internet date’ for both of us, but we turned out of course to both be normal people with […]

How’d I miss this? (Thanks to Nedward for pointing it out). No more second-class city disparagement for Boston anymore, now that we’ve got our very own “-ist.” I’d been wondering when it would arrive, and it seems like it was sometime in early January. Looks like they’re still working things out, as all of the […]

I’ve never been lucky enough to be the “Birthday Prince” before, but I guess this one called for something out of the ordinary. I think we’ve been celebrating my birthday since sometime around MLK Day, and hey, it’s almost Valentine’s Day now. Friday night, Aimee threw a bash for me at her place, complete with […]

Yesterday morning found us tromping through the snowy streets of Somerville at an early hour (after a delicious breakfast at Sound Bites) for our wedding invitation appointment at Firefly Press (no website, naturally, but watch a short film on John and his work). We spent two hours learning about the variety and history of typefaces, […]

Date night was my turn this week, and I decided to take us to the MFA for some edification. We had a delicious dinner at Brown Sugar Cafe back in the Fenway behind my old place, and then trudged through the berms to the MFA, open until 10 pm on Fridays. We enjoyed the permanent […]

We spent much of today holed up in Aimee’s apartment, watching the snow fall outside. The roads seemed well maintained, but any cars that were still parked on the street were nicely buried by noon, when the snow finally stopped. We cancelled screenings at work tonight, though last night was really the worse night, condition […]

The snow is really coming down out there, but come on… Aimee and I just watched the nightly local news for a half an hour…and we got a half an hour of weather. I know I’ve said this before, but it was a whole lotta weather. Weather here, weather there, weather stories, weather predictions, Patriots-related […]

It’s that time of year again, the semi-annual student photo show, when the walls around our offices are covered over with giant hanging bulletin boards pinned full of photos. It makes getting in and out of some offices a little tricky, as the hangings block the door, and it covers over our exhibition and poster […]

I’ve posted about this before, but now I’ve got the photos to back me up. It’s already weird enough that someone gets away with an address like “Zero Brattle Street,” but the fact that two places next door to one another both claim it as their address is even stranger. How about the fact that […]
