Musings from a Hokie grad

I still have a few months to go before our season opener against Alabama on Sept 5th and it still seems like a lifetime away. It's pitiful- I'm religiously checking Twitter, HokieSports, ACC page and ESPN for any news concerning our football team. I've refrained from texting some of my friends on...

If you have a CharlieCard, you could be getting discounts! So I might be a bit behind the times on this, but just discovered all the places you can get a discount with your card. I found this at the official Boston city webpage and thought it was too nifty to not pass along. Aside from restaurant...

I think I just might have to take time out of my schedule to check some of these events out!   Thursday: Institute of Contemporary Art, free from 5pm-9pm Bonfire Seakhouse, $1 tacos every Thursday from 5pm-7pm at the bar/cafe area (I think our office is going to check this out tonight!)   Friday:...

I just read this article, compliments of Fark. Basically, a 7-year old patron of a library outside of his district was told he could no longer come back to the library. He was "found out" after a reporter, scheduled to come in for an article about the library, posted a picture in the newspaper wi...

I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this, but it's definitely being added to my list of things to do! Ships competing in the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge will be porting here July 8-12. The types of ships range from the Topsail Schooner to the Tree-masted Schooner to the the Full-rigged Ship. There...

I suppose campaigning for fairer taxes is being a rebel now days. At least that's what Mom called me with a laugh when I told her I'd be volunteering for the MA-NH Independence Day Tea Party. I was really bummed when I missed my local tea party back on tax day. I have three professors to thank fo...

Our office has been contemplating adding to our available services. It seems that a lot of the apartment communities around here have the same services- 24 hr concierge, dry cleaning, pet sitting, discounts on certain stores and restaurants. The question is- if you could choose any service you wa...

What better place to spend July 4th than the city where the fight for Independence was the fiercest? Grab your lawn chairs, a couple of cases of Sam Adams and your grill and bunker down in the Oval! Boston Pops concert begins at 8:30pm July 4th with a flyover from the 104th Fighter Wing. The fire...

Today is groundbreaking day for America's first spaceport. Having recently seen Star Trek, that's all I can invision... a sort of Space Odessy 2001.. only more technologically advanced. And cooler (Space Odessy is the worst movie I have ever seen). I've always been a space nerd (geek?) so I was r...

It seems like there's more politics and less racing in F1 these days. I've stuck to watching live commentary online instead of the actual race cause you can't go five minutes without hearing something about Bernie, Max, Ferrari or FOTA. I've found it interesting that the official F1 website has p...
