Hipstawalk through Dover, NH

The Hipstamatic twitter account posted things like this:

There were meet ups scheduled all over the world. I didn’t see anything set up for anywhere in New England. I didn’t look all that hard though. Today we went to Portsmouth and Dover, NH. I decided to play the game and take a whole bunch of pictures for the #hipstawalk. These are all from downtown Dover, and they are all with Hipstamatic (not Ogle) and they are in no particular order. Shake to Shuffle was used extensively.

These folks sold me a Fender American Standard Stratocaster (used).

I’m glad I had a chance to do my part. Hipstamatic is not the best camera app for the iPhone (Camera+ probably gets that honor, at least in my book) but it is the coolest.

Musical Morning

I have three April songs that are now ready to mix. I recorded leads on all three, and re-recorded some of the rhythm parts on one. I only have two more to finish from April. March is another story.

Now the Bruins have to win tonight. That is all.

Forty-Three

Birthdays suck.

Let me rephrase that… once you reach a certain age, let’s say 28 or so, birthdays stop being fun things to look forward to. Birthdays start to suck.

Yesterday was my 43rd birthday. For the most part yesterday sucked. All day at work, every time I looked at my desk I saw my little Bruins calendar with the date May 8 staring up at me. When I looked at my phone the big 8 on the calendar app mocked me. Man, I was depressed. Birthdays suck.

After work, I picked my step daughter up at softball while my beloved wife picked up my step son at karate. Once we were all home for the night they brought out a birthday cake and the each gave me a birthday card. Okay… birthday’s don’t always suck. Maybe they suck in general, but when the people you love are showing that they love you back it stops sucking for a while.

I also got phone calls from my sister and brother. I was dealing with heavy traffic and trying to find a softball field I’d never been to before so I didn’t notice the phone ringing. Sorry about that. I had two voicemails. One was my nephew and niece singing happy birthday. They wished me a happy birthday, and they hoped I had a lot of cake. I did! The other was my two nephews singing happy birthday. They wanted to know if we went out for a birthday dinner. We did not, but maybe the Missus and I can sneak one in over the weekend? They also wanted to know if I had any balloons. Again, I did not, but if I did it would have made my birthday even better!

Thanks to everyone for making my suck of a birthday less sucky.

The Series is Tied

I would like to thank the Boston Bruins for the little birthday gift they gave me last night. They beat the Canadiens in overtime to tie their second round series at two games a piece. It is pleasing to live in a world where we are tied with Montreal, instead of the alternative which was a world where we trailed Montreal three games to one.

I would also like to thank the Bruins for scoring the overtime goal very quickly and not making me stay up all night shivering in fear.

Thank you, Bruins! Now go win game five!

No Score After Two Periods

You know, the other day when I said I wanted the Bruins to stop spotting the Canadiens a two goal lead, I didn’t mean that they shouldn’t score at all themselves. After two periods in a must win game four, there is no score.

Come on, Bruins. Let’s put a few biscuits in that basket.
