oh, we're halfway there...

I'm back from my weekend in NH, which was filled with shitty rental cars (boo!) tuned to AM sports talk radio (yay!) and lots of food and fun with future in-laws and my family. Our wedding will probably feature a napkin folding contest. I only wish I were joking.

All of New England is abuzz right now. We walked back to the hotel from dinner while Game 1 was under way and hardly anyone was in the street. Every TV in every window was tuned to the game. Drivers were honking and shouting "Go Sox!" It was insane. I felt for the bride at the wedding in the hotel on Saturday night, since I suspect the groomsmen kept trotting up to the lounge to check the score. Two down, two to go. I can't wait for it to be over, since, I'm sick as a dog.

While in Portsmouth, we stopped by the local record store, which is actually quite good. I bought Paul Westerberg's Folker (I still have a crush on that man), the new Le Tigre (a band I'm on the fence about, but they often win me over) and a Dropkick Murphys EP which features "Tessie," the official anthem of the Boston Red Sox and backing vocals by Bill Janovitz(!), Bronson Arroyo (!!), and JOHNNY DAMON (!!!!!). This qualifies me as the biggest dork ever.
