• Water main near the Garden burst, disaster leaving the game as roads are closed to cars and pedestrians. Now icing over and people falling. #
• Falling people include me. 9 winter layers mean I bounce back up. #

• Weezer night 2 is awesome. Rivers just sang "Suzanne" about 6 feet from me. #
• @wintermatt this one is for you. http://twitpic.com/3gb0ly #
• Celtics/Knicks tied with 12 seconds left? Argh. Come on Orpheum, throw it on the big screen. #
• Thank you @weezer. An awesome two nights. #
• Sox get Bobby Jenks. As a setup man before Papelbon/Bard, I'm ok with that. #

• Rivers Cuomo climbed into the balcony. Unreal. #
• @radiofletcher Agreed. in reply to radiofletcher #
• Best show of 2010 already. #
• Holy. Shit. Seriously. This is like heaven with Rivers Cuomo as god. Everyone knows the words to *everything* #

• Basically, if you aren't here in The Orpheum for Weezer, you are dumb. It really is that simple. #
• I'm not kidding. This has been just fantastically crazy. http://twitvid.com/LPSHM #
• I've got one ticket to tonight's Weezer show. If you saw my tweets last night, you know that tonight will be nutty, nutty. #
• @fraggle22 You need to be able to name a song on Pinkerton, and be willing to never tell anyone how dorky I act. in reply to fraggle22 #
• @fraggle22 You'll probably have to ask the audience. in reply to fraggle22 #

• Tonight, Weezer playing The Blue Album. I'm actually more excited than I expected. #
• I definitely think getting Russell Martin outweighs Carl Crawford and Cliff Lee. Seems like a big step up for the Yanks. #
• @fraggle22 You need to get on the Roswell bandwagon. in reply to fraggle22 #
• At the Orpheum to see Weezer play The Blue Album. There is a huge picture of Hurley. Awesome. #
• Opening band Free Energy is pretty good. They have the best wikipedia description as well. #
• "Free Energy is an American rock band of hippies from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"

  How do you really feel, wikipedia? #

• It's pretty apt, though. Also, I think it is 12 degrees inside the Orpheum #
• Free Energy. http://twitpic.com/3g0c5p #
• Dear Orpheum Theater, Please turn on the heat. I think I just saw my breath. #

• My first gift in a Yankee Swap last night. Will not be getting regifted: http://www.ryantoohil.com/2010/12/first-gift-of-the-season.php #

First Gift of the Season  

First gift I've received this holiday season. Amazing.

Don't Eat a Laxative Before Getting on a Plane  

I flew out west for work. Before getting on a 6 hour flight back, I figured "hey, now that airlines suck and don't give you even a snack, why don't I grab a snack for the flight." I walked into one of the newstandy places in the airport, looking for some chips or candy.

I'm a sucker for Jelly Bellies, so when I saw a bag, I figured "hurrah, my snack."

I wasn't super pleased that they were sugar-free, but how bad could it be?

Pretty bad, it turns out. Mostly because I didn't notice the little warning in the lower left hand side of the bag:

You can imagine the rest. Thankfully, the plane was pretty empty and I was sitting maybe 3 rows from the back, so I did not make a spectacle of myself on the 3 or 4 trips to the lavatory.
