"Every politician in Massachusetts has been responsible for this boondoggle, and now they are all trying to show how they are fighting to protect the taxpayers by pointing their fingers at someone else."

-- Tobe Berkovitz

i like watching dinner for five because sometimes it's funny to compare where i know the person from to what they mention. last night laura dern was on. i recognized her from the west wing, but not jurassic park.

i never said it was always funny.

in one of the live JSB tracks, they start playing this one techno-y song i know i have. i want phil to hear it, but since every techno song i have sounds exactly the same it's impossible to find.

nat, phil, and i went to legal's for phil's going away dinner. as i was walking over to the charles hotel area, i saw a couple of buses that were from the same company that we used when the band and orchestra from high school went on "tour" during spring break. i knocked on the door to one, and asked if he was with the cleveland heights band, and he said yeah. he asked if i went there, then said they would be back soon or something. one of the reasons i was so excited to move here to work for helix code in 2000 was because we came to boston my senior year, and i thought that might make a cool story for them.

but i didn't wait for them, since the band director i had retired a while ago, high school girls are totally insane, and my friends and i were pretty hungry. i'd try to find out where they were playing tomorrow, but if i remember tour correctly, they will be playing way before i intend to be awake.
