For some strange reason, I find it incredibly odd that the Blue Line goes out to Revere Beach. Even odder is the fact that I've lived in the Boston area for about a decade and I didn't realize this until just now. It's always been there, about an hour and a half away...and I never noticed.

Rachel and I went to the aformentioned beach last Sunday. We were a bit worried that it'd rain, but luck was with us and the grey clouds gave way to sunshine and a cool breeze. Toss in a trip to the famous Kelly's for dinner, and it was a quite pleasant, unique excursion. I'll definitely have to venture out there more as the summer progresses. Maybe I'll even start to like fish & chips :-)

On an entirely unrelated note, Bluetooth is nifty. My new toy has built-in bluetooth, so I went ahead and got my laptop a little box so they could talk to amongst themselves. I made sure to get one that supported the headset protocol, so (someday) I may be able to wirelessly connect something like this headset to my laptop. It'd be nifty giving it voice commands all day. Now, all I need is to combine that with normal stereo headphones and I'm all set. Or, perhaps, I could just wire my computer straight into my brain: ears can be damaged by abusive concerts, but microphones can be replaced.

If you've gotten this far, you should probably know that my birthday is coming up soon. By soon, I mean by someone else's qualification of the word entirely: July 17. This means I'll have a party sometime then. So far, the date is tentatively Saturday, July 19^th. With any luck, I'll be able to drag as many people from as many recesses of the country as I can to the party, including the old Tigernet crew and maybe even some Rochester crew. I fully intend to literally go through my Palm's address book and look through all my contacts: see who's still alive and around Boston. Leave a comment here if you are interested/not interested, or you can directly contact me about coming. I'll mention more as the time comes around.
