For rolypolypony  and anyone else interested, here are pics of Tim Wakefield warming up in the bullpen and the B.C. marching band preparing to play the National Anthem.

Just found out from punchtheclown  that SpookyWorld this year will be at Canobie Lake.

SpookyWorld

Sweet.

Ahhh! Tornado's acoming! Tornado's acoming! Tor- AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Well this is odd. I may have to take back the praise I gave to the Macbook yesterday. What do you do when you put a CD in and the machine doesn't recognize that there's actually a CD in there so you can't eject it? There's no manual eject button like there is on most PCs. Is there a way to do this?

ETA: Never mind, got it! It was in the Disk Utilities folder. But for future reference, it does kind of worry me that there's no emergency eject button that I can push with a paper clip if the disc did get stuck in there.

except that it was

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEESSSSSSSOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have a chance, go see it in IMAX. SO worth the extra buck and a half.

And poor Heath Ledger. I really feel pained that I will never have the opportunity to see The Joker in another movie. He was amazing. A creepier Joker there has never been and there will never be. I'm crushing real hard on a dead guy right now.

 Where would I find some lightweight, all-purpose dance shoes? I'm not even sure I know what dance shoes are.

My friend Joey was in the Globe online yesterday because he apparently has the world's oldest rabbit. Pretty cool. I emailed him today to congratulate him on getting into the Guinness Book of World Records. ;-)

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that I am now internetless. I have access to gmail at work, but cannot access facebook, lj, anything else that work deems "evil."

At home, I don't have internet at all. Whoever had that free connection before, apparently it is not working anymore. So, the only way to contact me on nights and weekends is by phone. And if you posted anything in the last week, I apologize because I haven't read it. Also, I am at Marcelo's right now, but am about to leave, so I won't be on internet for today either.

 In addition to the fake ivy posted about before, I found a bag full of assorted fake foliage, including orange colored leaves for fall and poinsettias and pine branches for Xmas. Anyone want these as decorations? Could the theatre(s) on here use them as set dressings?

The items that I mentioned in a previous post is now on display on my flickr account, under the appropriate title "Swag." Click on each item to see a description and a price (some is already free). I live in West Roxbury, and yes, I realize that it would be difficult to get some of the larger stuff back via public transportation. I will be happy to hold onto anything you are unable to pick up and drop it off to you at my earliest convenience (within reason, of course).

Send me an email or post a comment if you'd like something. It'll be first come first served (but preference will be given to someone who can pick it up from me over me having to drive it somewhere). If this stuff isn't claimed by Friday, I'll see what I can sell on craigslist, and the rest goes to Freecycle or a charity.
