Would people be interested in that? I was thinking maybe on a Saturday afternoon. I'm not as familiar with the parks in the area, but if there is interest, maybe people can suggest a meet-up location (ie, picnic tables would be good).
This wouldn't be in place of our bar meet-up, but an additional one.
BTW, Joe Sent Me was very fun!

I'd never heard of Neils-Hennings Orsted Petersen, aka NHOP before. Apparently my education on upright jazz bassists was sorely lacking. Click that link, the man is incredible. Really gets going around 2:30
And Joe Pass ain't half bad either.
Here's another, with Oscar Peterson on Piano and Ray Brown also on bass. link
Excuse me, I need to go play my bass and feel incompetent.

Davis Square Game Night!

The monthly game nights at Boloco will now and henceforth occur on a regular night so that you can better plan the gaming goodness:
Davis Square Game Night at Boloco will happen the last Sunday of every month.
What the heck are we talking about? Here's the details:
what:
Bring your games (board games or strategy games, or card games, or dice games...) and enjoy good food and fun. If you bring your own players, that's fine. If you are looking to meet some new people or find a couple of more people to round out a game of Settlers of Catan, that's fine, too. (You can choose to be as social as you want; this is a very informal gathering and no one will put you on the spot. Most people don't know each other, so one more stranger will not seem so amiss.)
when:
The last Sunday of every month, around 5pm to 10pm (close)
(Feel free to come earlier if you'd like- there is no set starting point and some of those games can get long!)
where:
Boloco, Davis Square (187 Elm Street) Somerville
who:
Everyone is welcome. This is a all-community event and is not limited to Davis_Square readers. Bring you family, friends, roommates, people you meet on the way, etc.
This fun event is growing each time it is held. There are always well-known board games like Scrabble and newer games like Blokus, Fluxx, and other fun things. There is always Settlers of Catan, probaly some Citadel or Powergrid or others like that and there are always more games than there are people to play them so don't be afraid to stroll in empty-handed and pull up a chair. The staff of Boloco is great and always makes us feel very welcome.
Can't make it? maybe next month- It's on the last Sunday of every month!
Feel free to repost this wherever you think people will be interested.
Hope to see you all there!

So it seems that social service job searches don't take the same amount of time as higher ed ones so I think I will wait to apply to those until mid June. I also think that I am going to focus more on Early Intervention Services or Developmental Disorders, areas that may have different stresses than my current job that involves so much trauma work.
My boss keeps trying to encourage me to focus more on what kind of job I want, which is hard for me. I often think in terms of whether I am the right for a positions, not whether that position is a good fit for me. So I'm going to work on really clarifying what kind of employment I want and see where it goes.
Oh and the season finales of The Office and Supernatural were extremely satisfying. So that was nice.

Today we saw: Mono- Japanese instrumental rock band. I was expecting something totally different... I neglected to do my homework on the band and was expecting something more angular and aural---assaulty. Instead, it was beautiful swirls and stacks of sound. Gorgeous and exhilerating. Jenny says: Two Thumbs Up!
Next, Dinosaur Jr.- classic indie rock. Lots of fuzz and distortion, big wailing guitars. I could have used louder sound on the vocals, but the massive guitars were what the people wanted anyway. Lou Barlow was rocking the hell out, and it was awesome. As we sat drinking beers near the main stage later in the evening, Drew pointed out that J. Mascis totally walked right by us. INDIE ROCK!!!
Explosions in the Sky- instrumental atmospheric rock. They did not play the Friday Night Lights theme song. But it was still awesome. Sonic architecture that soars around you and then crashes with big drums and guitars. Very nice.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow, and hoping that this laptop can hold enough of a charge for some live blogging from the concerts!
Also- the roads to Minehead suck with an unholy passion. Tiny windy roads should not involve trucks with houses on them coming at you from around a bend! I love England so much, but after a week, I do miss tap water that tastes like chemicals, and straight roads. I'm sorry England. Pasties and Cornettos pretty much make up for it, but I love the taste of chlorine in my water.

I was on rt. 133 around 2:30am last night and I was barely speeding, actually.
I impressed myself by not getting freaked out (I have this fear-impulse when it comes to police in general. I blame it on the cop who showed me his gun while I was waiting to taste ice cream at Baskin-Robins when I was waist-high). In fact, I was demure and cooperative and did not admit to having done anything wrong, nor did I claim that I hadn't. Instead I looked up at him through my eyelashes and told him that he was only my second time*. I didn't even receive a written warning.
*The first time had nothing to do with speeding, but with the fact that my front license plate was not in place.

You know what? No, actually. No, I don't carry my driving license and/or passport with me at all times. You know why? Because (a) I can't drive, (b) I wasn't planning on leaving the country during the five minutes it takes me to walk to the supermarket and back, and (c) I've been legally buying alcohol in the UK for nine years. What the fucking fuck? GIVE ME MY BOOZE.

Fic: "And You Were There" (Supernatural; Sam, Dean Gen)
May. 16th, 2008 | 04:08 am
mood:
worried
posted by:
visionofblue
Despite physically feeling crappy, mentally my birthday was really nice. Sure, I was all cracky, insane, and addled from lack of sleep, but I managed to turn it into that "Wheee! I'M SO TIRED AND CRAPPY FEELING THAT I'M WIRED. Everything is funny! I'm going to stare at this shiny object and giggle for no apparent reason!" thing and it was fine. Hugs and thanks to everyone for the well-wishes and good cheer. You really helped make it a good day. You are awesome. *smish*
In brief:
The cupcakes from the bad grocery store are better the second day.
I totally want fic with word-association games in it right now. (You know, that thing where one person says something and the other person says the first word that immediately comes to mind.)
Oh, and here's that one completely pointless depressing thing I finished during the unproductive hiatus. I was busy debating with myself over whether or not to include a character death warning for things that happen in dreams. I chose not to, because -- dreams, not meant to be real, etc -- but I'm still mentioning it here because I'm concerned. I miss the times when I wrote simpler fic. Heh. I'm unsure about the warning.
Title: And You Were There
Author:
Fandom: Supernatural
Characters: Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester (Gen)
Rating: R
Summary: Sam is no longer the only one plagued by nightmares.
Spoilers: Up to "Heart" (from Season 2). Takes place (in an AU way) sometime not long after that.
Notes: Rendered completely pointless by the Season 2 finale. I started it long before that, and before the current season, and wanted to finish it anyway. Because I'm dumb. This is set before the S2 finale, back when Dean's Big Worry was Sam possibly turning evil, back when Ol' Yellow Eyes was still around. My thanks to
Warning: Dark. Nightmares containing bad events that could be upsetting. (And shifting tenses, although I did that on purpose. I may have failed.)

"I used to sleep without a single stir
'cuz I was about my father's work" - Brand New

This is another fic idea that came to me while listening to a song. (The one quoted at the beginning.) Apparently, my brain thinks it makes an interesting Dean Winchester song:
