I am reblogging this without having listened, because I know you’ll like it that much. After finding and posting set lists from the radio show, Steve took it an (awesome) step further and found an old episode. Listen in, and call 617-627-3900 or whatever if you want to talk to whoever’s DJing now. stevespillman: [download link—the file is wayyyy too big for Tumblr to handle] It’s a...

So often, I get ticked off at people selfishly taking up too much bench space, lecturing passengers about Jesus and our sins, people who lean on polls, people who think they can stand without holding anything and then bang into everyone, racists, pricks who exist just to be pricks, and subway littering. BUT, today, I experienced for the third time in the last 2 months the most fantastic subway...

My short and sweet guide to gift giving.
A gift for someone should be something they really will appreciate now or in the future. It doesn’t have to be something they necessarily want, but something that will resonate at some point.

Instant Coffee: blast from the past

Found! One of my high school english essays.
I once wrote a paper for English class about my calculator. I don’t remember what the assignment was, but I always hated the tension between Math and English, and this was my 16 year old self’s way of fighting back. I found it on my hard drive and got a kick out of reading it. Enjoy!!!! [and yes, the title is authentic. ooof.] 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 Years of Friendship and Learning I...
