Time to retire the Blue Man Group. Enough is enough, get something new at that theater.

 

[statler]

I agree.

There was a time when the Charles Playhouse had regularly changing shows, just like the Lyric or any other local theatre.

Is this about me?

...john made some really weird posts last night...

I looked back and I made about ten posts around 6:45pm last night. I guess I had a lot of energy?

I was going to blame the Ambien(R) but I don't take that until midnight or so. It's led me to do some things I don't remember ...

Okay, just drop everything and sit down for five minutes to watch this. It will blow your mind.

I love it when they light the Pru up for certain social awareness days... Red tonight for World AIDS Day. It's great to see Boston Properties keep up with the social trends.

Anyone else feel like they need to take a break from the internet every once in a while? Like you get too caught up in it?

I think I'm reaching that point...

^ I said that not more than 45 minutes ago. Easy to say, hard to do.

Had to go to the ER last night, been really sick the past week (started the day before Thanksgiving). They diagnosed me with a sinus infection, double ear infection, and a chest infection. I slept for about 12 hours once I was home. My throat feels like I have strep. Soooo shitty.

Remember when we were discussing this?

From the article:

Unprecedented cuts by the cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service will slow first-class delivery next spring and, for the first time in 40 years, eliminate the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day.

Any of you seeking a political career might need to acquire one of these.

Do we know yet whether Fort Point is one of the mail processing centers they expect to close? Seems like a huge and busy place to just have go away.

What's the name of those two white box buildings on the corner of Mass Ave and Huntington? Any chance those will be demolished in the future for something better?

Symphony Towers? No, they're here to stay.

They would go on my "most hated buildings" short list.
