T-shirts are king

Boston.com has:
“T-shirts as art, to me, simply means using your clothing as a canvas,” the Somerville resident explains. “Being able to have the visual creations of others that would normally be seen spray-painted on a wall or hung in a gallery on your chest says a lot about a person. There are beautiful, dark, and intricate designs from really talented graffiti and street artists.”

Tim Toomey has, in my mind, the best signature going.
Check this out from his web page. This in the blue is “Tim.”
I thought I had a cool scrawl, but this gets props.

The bad news: Tonight’s Somerfest movie, Bee Movie, is canceled on account of rain.
The good news: It’s available on DVD, if you happened to make promises.
Isn’t it the other way around?

OK, rain, time to give it up.

Have we not jumped on the ice cream trend yet?

Seriously?
Anyways, David Harris of the Cambridge Chronicle wonders what ice cream named after Cambridge would be called and, well, not to be outdone by our neighboring city’s paper, I pose the same question to you.
If Somerville were represented by an ice cream flavor, what would that flavor be called?

I’ve got to remember to nudge Bob Trane and Carl Sciortino to pick up the pace.
Medford worried about Assembly Square traffic

Our friends over in Medford are worried about traffic once IKEA gets up and running.
State Rep. Paul Donato, D-Medford, said he would like to have seen Ikea and Federal Realty, the investment trust that owns the site, make more of an effort to fix up Wellington Circle.
“I’ve been around long enough to know that traffic engineers are hired to say what the developers want them to say,” said Donato.

So the flacks over at Verizon sent this:
In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Middlesex County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along Beacon, Cambridge, Kirkland, and Washington Streets in Somerville and Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well as the surrounding area.
They won’t tell me where the cell site is, however.
Maybe it’s one of those sleeper cells

I say that with no irony or sarcasm– I am so grateful for this weather. It’s cool, it’s not too humid, and I’m not sweltering at night.
Of course, that means it will get hotter very soon. After this Friday, the temperatures will go back to the 80s through the end of the month. We’ll get clouds and thunderstorms until then, though, which should help to keep things cooled off (but also super-humid).

Remember the Tufts Janitors protest with SEIU from two weeks ago?
So does McKinnon’s on Elm Street.
Of note: the Tufts students and others in charge of all this have started a blog chronicling the Janitor’s rallies and protests.

The story we have on Cambridge Hospital payments from the State House News Service has a curious line:
An unsigned July 11 entry on Sen. John Kerry’s campaign blog blasted the Heritage Foundation for caring more about “profit margins” than “health care for sick people.”
I can find the blog, but I can’t find the post in question. In fact, it looks like there are zero posts with that date.
Now I know I’m on deadline, and thought perhaps I skipped over the important stuff, so I linked to it so you can find it. If it is still there.

Now see, I don’t usually wear white to work because I’m going to get newsprint on my clothes, and the ink will show up best on a white shirt.
Apparently marijuana also shows up best on a white shirt.
keep looking »When police walked up the car, they allegedly noticed a “blunt” on the front passenger’s side floor between Sheikh’s feet. One of the most common methods of smoking marijuana includes removing tobacco from a cigar and replacing the tobacco with marijuana to create a blunt, according to police. Officer Lavey also reported observing traces of marijuana on Sheikh’s white shirt and on a notebook on the floor between his legs, according to police reports.
