From time to time I read tweets that I feel compelled to share. AdamCooperBB’s tweet from earlier today definitely made me laugh. I hope it brings a smile to your face as well. For the record, I don’t think you’re high maintenance; I think you’re very important. 🙂
Free performances from The Commonwealth Shakespeare Company begins tomorrow, Wednesday, July 27th.

According to an article in today’s Boston Globe, Boston-area rents are hitting new heights with the median price recently reaching $1,665 a month and a vacancy rate of 4.4% (down from 6.2% one year ago). If you are looking for an apartment in the Back Bay the news is even worse with average rentals running $2,650+ for a 2 bedroom and a 1.2% vacancy rate.
Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles of men who catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following. As always, suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome and if you’d like to follow me, you can find me at@BosGuy. Below are a few more #MenOfTwitter you may want to follow.
JordanJaric – (A.K.A. Jason Hanan) I’ve only recently started following, but his story is as dramatic as his good looks and I wanted to feature him right away.This spring he underwent brain surgery to remove a tumor.Despite facing such adversity, his tweets are light hearted, up-beat and funny. You can read more about his story here.
alcondorado100 – I’ve been following Carlos for quite some time.He is the first person I’ve ever featured who I know absolutely nothing about, because he doesn’t tweet in English.The only thing I can tell you for certain is that this guy is gorgeous (or as we say here in Boston, GawJus).
AlanIlagan – I’ve been reading Alan’s blog for years. This handsome guy from upstate NY spends a fair amount of time in Boston too so I’ve had the chance to meet him in person. He’s even more charming in person than online where he’s known to ham it up in front of the camera.I’ve opted to use one such photo rather than his current Twitter pic so you can see more of him (so to speak).
BTW – If you like this post, ReTweet. If you love it, follow@BosGuy. Â Link here to see past #MenOfTwitter postings.

Last week I was selected to participate in a promotion called the Zipcar: Low-Car Diet. For those unfamiliar, Zipcar is a car-sharing program that started here in Boston and is now in 50+ cities in North America and the U.K. The idea of a car-sharing program may seem strange, depending on where you live, but here in Boston and in cities around the country its been hugely successful.

Provincetown has some truly excellent dining options, but more often than not I eat outside on the remodeled deck shared by the Aqua Bar at 207 Commercial Street. You can access this deck through the Aquarium Marketplace (a mini arcade that includes a half dozen eateries serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Adding to the appeal of these food vendors is the very comfortable patio and deck overlooking the harbor complete with a bar that serves excellent drinks and a raw bar to satiate all those hankering for fresh seafood.
I’m most partial to Big Daddy’s Burritos and often order the Fish Burrito. Each year there are new eateries and this year a bakery and seafood vendor have opened for business. The half dozen eateries in this arcade all serve up good cheap eats and the view from the deck only enhances the dining experience. So should you find yourself in Provincetown looking for a quick and easy dining option that won’t place a dent in your wallet, consider checking out the Aquarium Marketplace at 247 Commercial Street, easily identifiable by the HRC store that faces the street.
Lightly battered Fish-N-Chips was excellent and filling; $10.95
Big Daddy’s fish burrito in a bowl is filling and delicious; $8.50

I leave for Provincetown Thursday, July 21st and will remain on the Cape through the weekend. With the weather forecast calling for plenty of sun and temperatures in the low 90s, I can’t think of a better place to be. The image above shows just how crowded the deck at the Boatslip can get. If you prefer the feel of the sand under your towel and crave a bit more free space, Provincetown’s beaches will tempt anyone.
Provincetown is pretty as a postcard

Each Monday I post #MenOfTwitter profiles that catch my eye and whom I think you may enjoy following. Suggestions for profiles to feature are welcome and if you’d like to follow me, you can find me at@BosGuy.  Below are a few more#MenOfTwitter you may want to follow.
Str8cam is a delectable combination of sexy and friendly. Straight as an arrow, the gay community should thank Jeff for his work to make sex so satisfying. Not only is he sexy as the day is long, but he markets a product that makes sex so pleasurable. Not sure of what I’m talking about? Check out his site, http://STR8camLube.com.
Rybrator is a young man living in New York City. Aside from his obvious good looks (which I cannot stress strongly enough), I think he is worth following because he’s funny. Maybe it’s an age thing but anyone who rants on twitter about not hearing enough Britney I find amusing. Combine that with what I think are classic good looks and you get #MenOfTwitter candidate.
@TheRealTheoD it seems like hardly a week can go by without a sexy guy from London being featured in my #MenOfTwitter posting… Despite the fact that London has had their fair share of men featured, I couldn’t help but post The Real Theo D… Follow this handsome guy. You’ll enjoy his tweets #promise.

With the exception of my visit to the movie theater in December to take my nephews to see Yogi Bear in 3-D, I’m not even sure if I saw a movie in the theaters in 2010. At home I may have seen as many as 3-4 movies on demand or on television. So I suppose what I’m saying is that I’m no movie reviewer.
However, tonight I settled on an HBO channel while eating dinner – the movie which had just started was called, Adam. I had never heard of the independent film written and directed by Max Mayer, about a young man who suffers from Asperger Syndrome and becomes interested in an attractive neighbor living in his apartment building. But I am really glad I watched the movie… and should you see it – I hope you enjoy it too.
Tracey – should you watch it… bring your tissues.

The Boston Globe has a great section to the paper called “Your Town”, which features local news from specific neighborhoods and towns around Boston.
The “news” section from “Your Town” also includes feeds from local bloggers. Yours truly has had posts on this site in the past, but a quick look at the Your Town: South End might make Bostonians wonder what is going on. Nearly every story appears to be about hotels in Chicago and Orlando… Oh yeah, and lets not forget about the article about the 405 shutting down today in Los Angeles. Glad that was there!
Perhaps this section of The Boston Globe should be called “Some Other Town”. You can click on the image below to enlarge the image. Its sort of comical.

I first wrote about the Wholy Grain coffee shop when it opened earlier this past spring. This tiny coffee house has quickly become a personal favorite and with the recent opening of their patio and garden, I can easily see myself coming here even more often.

I rarely talk about my work, because I think that there are so many more interesting things to discuss. However, every once in awhile I feel the need to share. Because I work from home, my work hours can be somewhat unorthodox. However, I recognize that there are many people who have longer and more demanding days no matter how chaotic my week may be.
I’ve never actually been in Paris during this holiday and wonder what the celebrations are like. For those who have read my blog for awhile you know I am a huge fan of Paris and French culture in general. I would imagine there are huge parades along the Champs Elysee, fire works and sorts of festivals and fun in all the neighborhoods.
After careful consideration, I opted for this bit of French eye-candy over some of the more traditional sights one would come to expect. I hope you approve.
