1. Crazy Guy
Now I know what you're going to say, Allston/Brighton had it's share of characters, most notably the late great Mr. Butch. I am not trying to compare Crazy Guy and Mr. Butch in anyway (nor am I implying that Mr. Butch was crazy). Back to Crazy Guy. Crazy Guy has been a staple in the Powderhouse area since at least 1997 (my friends say he was there our freshman year... back in the day... when I was young). Crazy Guy generally wanders up and down College Ave right near the Powderhouse rotary, next to Broken Yolk and the laundromat.
While he may appear, and probably is, harmless, if you happen to run into him try to avoid him, otherwise you'll be the beneficiary of some sort of rant/proclamation for the next few minutes. What did he say? Well, that's a good question.... words I have managed to decipher are: murderer, Jesus, and Mary. Conversation will end with "Peace, thank you", and then he'll be on his way. Apparently Crazy Guy won't bother you though if you're talking on your cell phone (or even fake talking on your cell phone).
2. Broken Yolk
You are well aware and love this place. It has the convenience of being right near my house (more on this later) and is also relatively inexpensive. It is also one of the few places that you can get a pistachio muffin. Pistachio muffins are always welcome at my house (the Jew loves bacon too).
3. 60" TV
You have made a wise choice in moving to the 'ville my friend. As you are no doubt aware, we (my roommate mainly) are in possession of a 60" television. The television proves quite useful during various sporting events. You can watch the Red Sox win in HD, the Bruins lose in HD, and the tv is always available for EPL goodness.... I find that filthy Euros look even dirtier on the 60" tv. You can see the filthiness just dripping off each player.... cynical challenges and referee discussions (Deliberately? Deliberately) are even better.
4. The Joshua Tree & Diva Lounge
Just kidding... that was a trick answer.... if you are ever at any of those places you're dead to me.
5. Colbert Gmail Chat
No doubt you have been frustrated by the slow chat speed of gmail when watching the Colbert
Report on different sides of the river. This is only made worse by the different time zones. Hopefully you have recovered from the jet lag. Now gchat will be even more awesome....perhaps same room Colbert Report gchat could happen... although I fear Time Cop "2 people can't occupy the same space" rules might apply.6. Airwolf
I have the complete first season of Airwolf on DVD bitch! I know how much you love Jan Michael-Vincent and Ernest Borgnine.
Welcome to the 'ville douche.... try not to mess this place up.
