Friends

What is this thing called?

I know it's named for someone at Tufts, but can't think of anything aside from that...

Apparently, the Somerville Theater used to play the movie Alice's Restaurant in the Somerville Theater for folks who were in town, or so I heard yesterday. They no longer do this, and I wonder why not; I think it would be a blast to go to that during the day before Thanksgiving dinner. The 30th anniversary edition of the song was played at the event I attended yesterday, and it was actually quite a lot of fun to listen to it along with folks who had never heard it before. Who knows, maybe they will bring it back...

Happy Thanksgiving, folks:)

Apparently Ellen is waaay into Marty McFly.

I can’t wait until teleportation is invented. But I’ll have to find new places that I can flip people off.

As promised, here is Part 2.

The Incroyables and Merveilleuses are my favorites, gosh I tell ya. What they wore was once a political statement, but then they gave up on making statements, and that was a statement. Or some such.

i'm going backwards. rather than upgrading my mac laptop, i'm looking to downgrade it to osx 10.4 (tiger).

does anyone know where i can find a copy of an older apple operating system?
almost everyone i see in the cafes with macs are running updated leopard or snow leopard. if anyone has upgraded lately, and no longer needs their original osx 10.4 disks, maybe we can work out a deal ($, box of kickass cupcakes, ?).

ideas? thanks!!

Sometimes I just get these completely irrational midnight worries. I guess they were worse in my self-obsessed teenage years.

Somerville Police Chief Anthony Holloway is one of a dozen short-listed candidates for the post of police chief in his hometown of Clearwater, Fla.

“Chief Holloway has done an outstanding job during his first 18 months here in Somerville and we certainly hope he will stay,” said city spokesman Tom Champion. “His hiring was part of an ongoing reorganization and reform process on which we have made enormous progress. Of course, there’s still plenty of work still to be done and it would be great to have him here to help see it through.”

It is very cathartic to sit around with the lights off and complain loudly to nobody

Happy Thanksgiving

Hey check it out! Emmy and I did a collaboration comic for Dr. McNinja's current guest week!

I was at that Thought Bubble comic convention at the weekend. I didn't make it to the after party as I met up with my old friend Fat Paul firstand got a bit too drunk. Probably for the best, the UK indie comic scene Isn't ready to see the drunk version of me (he's quite obnoxious) Still, the convention was good fun and my new mini sold well. Here it is...



The rest... ( is behind this cut )

from the Somerville Arts Council e-mail list:

Kathleen Finlay, A Somerville Arts Council Artists Fellowship grant winner, for her community benefit project, has installed large scale needles and thread configurations in window fronts of 3 local businesses. Each window has a different arrangement of needle and stitches. It is an installation of gesture and scale.

The large size and the location of the setup is disconcerting and surprising as well as humorous. The windows are in different sectors of Davis Square. As people look for the similar elements placed around the square, it is hoped that one is drawn into seeing things about their environment and activities that have gone unnoticed.

LOCATIONS:

1. Wedgewood-Crane & Connolly, 19 College Ave.
2. Sewing & Vacuum center, 280 Elm Street.
3. La Chic Boutique, 235A Elm Street

This is a community benefit project by Kathleen Finlay, a Somerville Arts Council Artists Fellowship grant winner. This project is supported in part by a grant from the Somerville Arts Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

I'm looking for anyone who is savvy with TVs, Computers, or other electronics and can replace a capacitor on the power board for my plasma TV.

I have isolated the problem, and removed the board, now I need someone who knows what they are doing to take a look and replace the part. Does anyone have this skill, or can anyone recommend a good repair shop that wont totally rip me off on what should be a 20 min job to replace a $1.84 part?
