Setlist: Gin Blossoms @ House of Blues 11/9/08
Our story begins about two weeks ago on a random Thursday night at the Beachland. I’m there for their Halloween extravaganza – Helper T.

Because everything is funnier with Muppets
I was cracking up at the end of the day when I saw Mel’s Tweet with the link to a Pulp Fiction Muppet mash-up. Now that’s good, but I also love the Muppetized Blair Witch Project video, which is proof that you can make everything better by adding Muppets! Two thumbs WAY up!

How to use an Amazon Gift Certificate: My Story
As a geek, there are two things I love these days. Two things of many things I love, I guess. One is Itunes gift cards. Another one is Amazon gift certificates. I had a $25 gift certificate for Amazon that I’ve been sitting on for a couple of months (which is unprecedented for me,) that […]
