Not many episodes of Fair Game left!
Celtics crush Lakers, 131-92, to secure 17th title →
Crazy. Less than a year ago, I was at a bar in Cleveland (called Froggy’s, which is probably the greatest bar in the world) with Jess on draft night wondering if the Celtics had a chance to win forty games after they traded for Ray Allen. Flash forward to last night, watching the biggest clinching blowout in NBA Finals history. These two quotes from two seperate articles on Deadspin pretty...
The Movie Review: 'The Happening' (The New... →
The review, written by Christopher Orr, has a byline which reads:
This film is so bad that I feel compelled to make a spoiler-laden list of its most laughably terrible parts rather than review it.
Orr continues:
Shyamalan’s latest movie, The Happening, is not merely bad. It is an astonishment, so idiotic in conception and inept in execution that, after seeing it, one almost wonders...

Wow. I haven’t really paid attention to the Celtics or the NBA over the past fifteen years (what happened to Eric Montross?) but last night’s game was TREMENDOUS. Watching James Posey letting it rain/rain dance/rain drop all over the Lakers almost, almost made me feel better about the Super Bowl.

Fire destroys Allston's Grecian Yearning Diner →
I’ve mentioned the lack of diners in Allston before and yesterday that number was cut in half. Back in November, the diner was used to film some upcoming Christopher Walken movie.
From the Allston Brighton TAB: (it’s still published??)
The fire tore through a restaurant and two adjacent basements on Harvard Ave. early this evening, causing approximately $ 2.5 million in damage and...

FireNes Brings NES Games to Your Browser →
Lifehacker claims there are 2000 games to play, but a bulk of them are Japanese—and many of those are translations of US games.
At Herrell’s with Jessica, waiting for the NBA Finals to start. Why does every game have a 9:15PM tip-off time? Why do some people call it tap off?
Speaking of Boston sports, totally walked by Amalie Benjamin on Harvard Ave. yesterday. We don’t have actual famous people in Allston, so this was quite the sighting.
Radio’s ‘Fair Game’ Canceled →
The first time I heard Fair Game I was driving around Columbus, OH with Jess looking for a hotel room. We had just ate at The Elevator (which was AWESOME because I felt like I was in a film noir) in celebration of her getting word, via a cell phone call, that she’d got her first real job after graduation. Anyway, we listened as they had on some shitty indie rock band and the guy that...
Indy Charts -- The Return of Indiana Jones. →
As usual, David Denby is spot on with his analysis of the new Indiana Jones. He basically writes everything I thought of the film but couldn’t put into, you know, words.

Tracking Manny Ramirez's 500 Homers →
This is so cool. The Globe broke down each of his home runs, park by park, and charted them. There’s also a list of each one; which pitcher gave it up, which stadium it was in, and what the score was.
