Man, have I been having some weird dreams. And what’s even weirder is I’m remembering some of them.
Like last night.
It was something out of a David Lynch movie.
Somehow, I, specifically my arms, became infested with what I understood to be chiggers. Except they were black, and I could watch them burrow into my skin like [...]
Back in July, I was ripped off by the MBTA to the tune of $1.70. The caught me in an annoyed mood, so I decided to get my money back.
So I went to their website and “wrote to the top”. I dutifully filled out the form and waited. And waited. After a couple of weeks, [...]
The black hand of depression is closing in on me again. Made much worse by spending the day yesterday doing nothing waiting for a storm that never appeared (except to generate enough wind to knock out the satellite dish at the bar next door so I couldn’t even watch the Sox get routed by Texas [...]
I’m thinking of joining a dart league this fall. It’s been 15 years since I’ve played and I’ve never played with soft tips before. Apparently, Boston or maybe Massachusetts has a weird rule where steel tipped darts are not allowed in a place that sells alcohol. So I went out and got a cheap set [...]
I don’t watch much tv, but yesterday I watched the Redsox get trounced by the-team-who-shall-remain-nameless, on Fox (but listening on the radio because, really, are there any two worse sportscasters in the world than What’s-his-name Buck and Tim McCarver?). When it was over, I was flipping around the channels. I have the lowest level of [...]
The Tour starts today and I find I really don’t care. The scandals of sucked all the interest I might have had away. It’s not just the dopers, it’s the way the whole thing is being handled by everyone. Valverde wins stage 1. Maybe I’ll get excited later, but for now: Meh.
But of more interest [...]
&c
My life’s chronometer ticks over one today.
One of my Imaginary Internet Friends from Edinburgh is here visiting his girlfriend who is working in Woods Hole. He took the bus up to Boston yesterday where he, me, and several other IIFs went for dinner and drinks. We went to House of Siam and the Boston [...]
I keep expecting to find a frightened, panting dog cowering under my desk.
But there isn’t one.
all those who have seen their congressman naked.
/me raises hand
well, he isn’t my congressman, but still.
I’m on the elliptical cross-trainer at the gym, when who steps up on the one beside me but Barney Frank.
So that’s two TV presenters, one porn star, and one congressman so far.
Linkedin must be psychic. I spent some time a few weeks ago just poking around to see if there was anyone I knew and up in the right corner it said “Do you know these people?” One of them was David Rumsey, whom I’ve never met but quite admire. He’s one of the only people [...]
I had some errands to run yesterday (out to REI, among other things) which took me along the Fenway Victory Gardens. On the way back, I spotted the naked gardener. He wasn’t naked, but he was gardening. We talked peonies. It was a short conversation. He’s taller and skinner than I expected.
Knox and Victor are in town. Or were in town. I guess they leave today. Or something.
So they, with their friend Kevin, dropped in to go see the South End a bit, maybe have a nosh and a drink, so that’s what we did. Earlier, another friend, John, had dropped over. A very rare occurrence, [...]
That was a difficult trip. I hadn’t been back there in 15 years. The town is still dying, I’m pleased to say. There were about 14,000 people when I lived there in high school. There are about 9,000 now.
The funeral ceremony was a bit too jesusy for me, but then it wasn’t for me, so [...]
A death in the family is taking me back to Ohio. I think the last time I was there was about 15 or 20 years ago to attend the funeral of my grandmother. I’m leaving tonight and will be back on Monday night. The funeral is Friday.

David J. Miley Sr.
David J. Miley, [...]
The ”rents were here for the last week or so (leaving Thanksgiving Day). It was fun. We spent most of the time going from meal to meal.
Of course, I didn’t get any work done, but frankly, I don’t care.
It occurs to me, I didn’t take a single picture!
I bought some olives today.
Construction on one side of me is trying to destroy my building.
Construction on the other side of me is trying to destroy my living room.
The bar on the corner kept me up until 2:30 this morning.
My tire exploded in the hallway loud enough that my ears are still ringing.
Lunch sucked.
Client is thinking about redesigning the [...]
Guess who sold all his JILL on Monday?
That would have paid for a fixie.
Bastards.
