I'm sort of watching The Arabian Nights on ABC right now. I read some of the stories a few months back... I don't remember any CGI dragon-dogs though. Open sesame!
Forget that last entry. That start page isn't so great. I thought it might be fun, but it's a pain in my butt. Maybe I'll fix something else up. Something truly ingenius! Here's to my future self!

Fifty three degrees in Boston. Probably the boiling or melting point of something. I think I'll step outside and check it out.

Three posts ago the time reads 11:11:11. That's gotta be something. Could it be that I am the chosen one? Am I prepared to take control of the Universe? These are questions that I will have to sort out on my own.

Everyone knows that I'm a macho, manly guy so I'm comfortable with saying that Golden Girls is a funny show. So I watch Lifetime... what? So what. I'm watching Seinfeld right now. Pretty funny guy. I could beat him up.

Good morning. Mozart block at 9 o-clock! Looks like it may be a nice day today. My car is still bunk. Maybe by the end of the week I could be back in action on that front. Is it possible for humans to become invisible? Ask tectonics!

I'm in pain. Marc's stuff was so heavy. The three flight walk up is fine if you're not carrying, say... a desk! But his new place is fantastic. There's a huge recessed skylight that Batman can dive through and save Marc from man eating monster vines.

Helping Marc move to NYC today. Will he have his apartment furnished and complete with kitchen accessories by thanksgiving? We shall see.
My car is still not registered and inspected. Almost, almost. Gonna help Marc move to New York tomorrow. Driving to New York can be tricky, lots of exits create lots of chances to veer off the correct course. Good thing I am a genius and I never get lost.

I sneeze when I look generally in the direction of the sun or a bright light bulb. I like sneezing. I don't like sneezing more than 5 times in a row though. I gotta draw the line.

WCRB runs an ad every once in a while for visiting Cape Cod, "Spec-tac-u-lar in Springtime". It is so bad. When it comes on, reality is displaced and I am sickly compelled to jam to the jingle with ridiculous gusto. I close my eyes really tight untill see fizzy stars and gyrate myself all over the place with wild abandon. "Ri-ding bikes, ta-king hikes...". Afterwards I feel nauseous like I ate a huge mixing bowl of lucky charms.
I went to drugstore.com initally so I could buy unmentionables without the red face. Now I get all my drugstore type products here. There hasn't been one time when I didn't get some kind of free item. So what if I don't want it, the point is, I feel like I beat the system! Who wants to go to the drugstore and be coughed on while outside your car is being ticketed. Screw that mumbo jumbo.

After all the hoopla, I almost forgot to mail my taxes! Biz Stone, Genius.

Apr 16, 2000

My friend Alex is gonna get married! Congratulations Alex!

Apr 15, 2000

The great Carreras was great. Seven encores, that was the best part. Note to the guy who sat behind me: easy on the cologne. Note to the guy who sat in front of me: if you're gonna have an eyebrow ring, at least wear a nice shirt. Seats were great for hearing Joes's crazy pipes but woulda been better to be closer and see more facial expression. Next time.

Apr 14, 2000

Today is Jose Day 2000. Going to pick up my taxes now. It's gonna hurt. The whole year was freelance work. Never took out any taxes. Didn't pre pay. Next year will be better.

Apr 13, 2000

Tomorrow is Jose Day 2000. We're gonna go listen to Jose Carreras in concert at the BSO. Livia is so excited. I hope the seats I bought online aren't totally bunk. They should be okay 'cause I ordered *best available*. Hopefully not, *Best available out of the crappiest seats*. We'll see.
I just checked my yahoo to see what shows were on tonight. I clicked on Friends to see if It was a rerun and it said *bad pi*. Frasier said *bad pi* too. That is when the steel trap I call my mind snapped tight and I realized it must be a yahoo screw up. Funny, because when I saw that a few weeks ago for Farscape I actually watched the show, the whole time thinking, *Why is this show called bad pi? It has nothing to do with math?* Don't mess with me, I'm quick!

Apr 12, 2000

No emails today except a couple work emails and tons of newsletters I subscribed to unwittingly. Unwittingly? I gotta look that up. Watching a show about Isaac Stern. My real name is Isaac Stone. I keep thinking the show is talking about me. I don't play the violin though.
Mozart block at 9 o'clock. Do I listen to it because I like the music or because it rhymes and I like it when the lady says *This is the Mozart block at 9 o'clock* Actually I listen to it because the CD player is busted. But that's okay, I'll listen to Mozart and it will make me smaahht. She just said it!

Apr 11, 2000

I started a new blog today. I arranged it so my friend, Jay could post as well. Should be fun. We're going to explain everything to everyone. If you have a question, email us. Tectonics!
Jeeeez. I straightened out the ticket situation, but what a pain! The lady I talked to just did not want to clear it up. She wanted me to go through all kinds of tribulations first. I just asked the same thing politely five times with subtle variations and pretended that it was her great idea. That worked. Weird.
Gonna buy some unmentionables today at drugstore.com. Chalk it up! Drugstore.com redesigned too. I guess its not for the worse but it just didn't seem to need it. Unmentionables.com!

Gotta call about that ticket today. What's the deal with this new show Falcone? It's on every night. I watched some of the first one and a guy said he was gonna go to miami for 2-3 days and score five thousand bucks. Wouldn't it cost twice that much to have FBI guys surveil this guy? Just let him steal the five grand, you just saved $10,000!
I can't get my car inspected because I can't get my registration because I don't have a receipt for a ticket that I don't have. What? I will gladly pay the fictional ticket. How do I do that? Emeril just added the noodles. Crazy.
I'm watching Emeril Live. When he comes back he's gonna make stir fried crab meat with celophane noodles. I don't know, doesn't really sound like he's gonna kick it up a notch. Bam!
Kelsey Grammer is coming to Boston with his production of Macbeth. I'd like to go see it but it's gonna be filled with Cheers fans who want to see Frasier.
If anyone watched my short film last night they had to sit through 45 minutes of funky crap. Mine was the best, it didn't have any useless dialoge about nothing.

Finishing up watching x files. Gillian Anderson directed. She played alot with sound, motion, and sexuality. *Maybe sometimes nothing happens for a reason Mulder*. Funky music and Fox was gonna make a move at the end but Scully passed out. Cool Aztec blanket and the tiny buddah head sees all. The end. Weird. I'm into it!
I'm watching a show about encephelapods. The cuttlefish is amazing, it dazzles it's opponents. Laugh all you want but they're way better than us. They can do all kinds of freaky stuff and they can breath in seawater. Can you do that!?
Heeeey. I made a little robot head for your viewing pleasure. Blogs are fun. Nobody is reading mine but so what. I'm still posting all kinds of useless ramblings. That's what everyone does with blogs anyway. Watch me on TV tonite! WGBH 44 @ 10 pm EST.
Now it's sunny out. What's going on? Maybe it has something to do with those melting galciers. Suspect. Extremely suspect. Call X files.
Allright, it's snowing now. John said it was snowing in New York this morning and I thought he was crazy. I still think he's crazy, it had nothing to do with the snow. But it's snowing! C'mon. When's it gonna be summertime!
Just ordered some tickets online for Jose Carreras in Boston. I hope the seats are good, can't understand the seating chart schematics. Livia is super excited, Jose is her favorite.
Rainy Sunday. Tonight is my show on wgbh 44. Be sure to watch me at 10 pm on a show called Viewpoint. The short that I am in is called Go To Bed Darling, He's Not Going To Call. I play "he". But I do call! Eventually.

Apr 8, 2000

My sister's birthday party was fun. Not a big deal, but good to have everybody show up. I left my credit card at Tealuxe but I got it back. Allright, gotta go watch Voyager.
Tomorrow night on wgbh 44 is a show called Viewpoint. It's an hour of short films. I'm in one of them! I play a guy who drinks beers. Kinda like I'm doing now! Check me out!
Trader Joe's is great. I'm gonna miss it when I move to New York. Jay, you're right, it's gonna be tough getting to Trader Joes. It's gonna be a pain to get to the cape too. I need a monorail.
Oh no! Amazon stacked the tabs! What's buried under them? A pharoh? Should we ask Geraldo Rivera to bust into the unknown land of redesigned web sites to see if anyone is alive inside? Or maybe I should just shut up and buy stuff. Yeah, I think I'll do that.
What's the deal with all my websites redesigning for the worse. Evite.com, eGroups.com, Kozmo.com, Amazon.com. Egroups is the worst, they trashed their cool multi sphered logo for a purple envelope. Ugh.
I'm listening to the wcrb kid's classical hour right now. Makes me feel like I'm in a cartoon. For this one hour I'm indestructable by dynamite. Good to know.
Today is my sisters's birthday. Happy birthday Mandy. I have to do various things of various sorts and kinds and then I'm gonna go have cake.

I guess I didn't make up that expression. My girlfriend just told me that it is an actual expression. I just thought I made it up. So I'll make up a new one... "Don't poke an angry dinosaur.". That's a new expression that sounds like an old one! You can use it if you want but you gotta pay me two cents.
This is a weblog. It is an online diary type deal. I'll publish my personal thoughts to this page every so often. Hey I just made up a new expression, "every so often". Chalk it up! Call Webster!
