MA ranked most energy efficient state (again)

Posted on October 6, 2012 | Leave a comment

The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) gave Massachusetts the highest ranking in the US.  The high marks, which helped Massachusetts overtake California last year, was based largely on its continued commitment to energy efficiency under its Green Communities Act of 2008, which has spurred greater investments in energy efficiency programs by requiring utilities to save a percentage of energy every year through efficiency measures.

Is energy independence & efficiency important to you? Check out how your state ranks according to the 2011 ACEEE.

The dick towel

For $21.99 you too may purchase this unique gift for the hard to buy guy in your life.  The video above is completely hilarious and I thought a total joke, but as it turns out Bob has a website where he sells all his outrageous products, Baron Bob dick towel.

BosGuy fitness update

Posted on October 5, 2012 | 7 comments

working outI’ve been quiet about my fitness regimen, and it is mostly due to the fact that I’ve been slacking.

Thank goodness I have a trainer, because there have been many weeks over the past two months where my only gym-time has been spent working out with him.

My short-term fitness goal is to drop the few extra pounds that have recently settled around my waist before they take up permanent residence.  My plan is to get a few more cardio sessions in each week.  We’ll see how that goes – wish me luck.

Are you struggling to motivate yourself to get to the gym?  Misery enjoys company.  Let me know how you are doing and we can work to motivate each other so we look picture perfect in time for the holidays.

BosGuy brain teaser

Posted on October 5, 2012 | 6 comments

Each Friday morning I post a riddle or brain teaser.  The idea is to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. Share this with friends or coworkers if you cannot figure out the answer.

Post your answers in the comments section and I’ll confirm the correct responses after lunch to give everyone a fair chance.

This week’s riddle:  A New York City hairdresser recently said that he would rather cut the hair of three Canadians than one New Yorker. Why would he say that?

Catchy or Annoying – What do you think?

Move over Carly Rae Jepsen, your catchy pop tune from the summer Call Me Maybe has been supplanted by an equally catchy, although unlikely pop song from Korea.  This unintelligible song by PSY has climbed to the top of the charts in the USA, and the rather odd dance moves from this video are inspiring many, funny spoofs.

Expatriate by Lenelle Moïse

Posted on October 4, 2012 | Leave a comment

Starting today and running through Saturday is the Theater Offensive Off-Broadway play by Lenelle Moise, Expatriate. Normally I try to only write about shows I’ve had the opportunity to see, but due to the short run, I won’t have a chance to see this show. However, I love the work the Theater Offensive does and wanted to give them a shout out.

Five Horses Tavern trots into Columbus Cafe space

Posted on October 4, 2012 | Leave a comment

Earlier this week Eater Boston  reported that the owner of Five Horses Tavern in Somerville will open a second location in the South End in the space formerly occupied by Columbus Cafe.

The Five Horses Tavern in Davis Square serves modern American comfort food with nothing on the menu over $20.  This matches the affordable menu that helped Columbus Cafe remain so popular with locals and would be a welcome addition to a neighborhood already overcrowded with restaurants serving $30+ entrees.

I’m curious to see what owner and head chef Dylan Welsh does to the rather unique layout and interested to find out how he will purchase a liquor license since the owners of Columbus Cafe were rumored to have sold their license to the soon to open Boston Chops.

What your beer says about your politics

The National Journal published an article about what your beer choice says about your voting predilection.  I love these mindless charts.  According to the study, “Americans who most often drink Dos Equis are in the middle-of-the-road while drinkers of Heineken’s flagship brand are strongly Democratic. Samuel Adams drinkers are strongly Republican, and more likely to vote.”
