I think that this t-shirt would make for a spectacular co-rec sports team uniform.

ten years ago tonight

It was an entire decade ago that we went out on our first date.

A few weeks previous, without any romantic intent of our own, we went to see a movie that actually tried very hard to be romantic in its own way – A Life Less Ordinary, Danny Boyle’s misguided follow-up to Trainspotting.  That movie featured Ewan MacGregor as an aimless romantic of a scotsman who accidentally kidnaps Cameron Diaz from a world that she really wants to escape from.

The actual “date movie” (explicitly defined as such) that we went to see, at my own urging, now holds a legendary place in the story of our lives.  What was this mythical movie, you ask? 

The Final Ball, 2007

As Papelbon threw up his hat in celebration, turning his Gomer Pyle/Full Metal Jacket laser-beam-death-eyes stare into the crazy cartoon-eyed scream of celebration, what happened to the ball?

Again, more media convergence. If anyone has a more appropriate term to describe this phenomena, let me know.

Most are usually benign, but this was Patty’s from tonight’s dinner as we watched the start of the Red Sox game.

While I think this is fantastic, I can’t help but think that there should be a “Borky” interspersed somewhere in there.

Seeing media convergence that aligns with your current thinking is always intriguing.

so, now I’m over here

The Tumblr Blog has been quite nice, only up to a point. It’s a very simple format, very streamlined.

However, the simplicity is accompanied by limitations, some of which I just can’t abide by anymore. It has pained me that I haven’t been providing all three of my readers with the opportunity to not comment on my posts.

Well, now the opportunity is here. I expect that there’ll be some further tweaks coming about as I figure out the kinks of this whole wordpress bit – believe me, it’s going to be far from fascinating. While I’ll be holding to the more spare format that I’ve been doing over on Tumblr, I’ll also be stretching out a little more into longer posts of questionable interest.
