Plum Island: Creepy Building Edition







So right before crossing the bridge to Plum Island there is this weird building with the words NO EVACUATION POSSIBLE painted on one side. My natural creepy curiosity was piqued and so on the way home we stopped so I could take some photos. The place was awesomely derelict and I got the shot of the inside by leaning over the rotting steps and sticking my camera in the hole in the wall next to the front door and just waving my camera around taking a few random shots unable to actually see what was inside. I'm not sure if you can tell from this size of the photo, but there appears to be a washing machine in the back, several gas canisters around the mismatched chairs in the middle, and a milk crate full of magazines.

When I said it feels like I am coming home for Christmas early....


I did not realize Mother Nature was going to take it so literally. We haven't even finished raking!
I do love watching snow football, though. Go Pats! The Titans should be embarrassed by that performance.

How freaking cool is this??



An abandoned school. Shakespeare’s fallen hero. Hitchcock’s shadow of suspense. Award-winning British theater company Punchdrunk makes its U.S. debut with Sleep No More, an immersive production inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, told through the lens of a Hitchcock thriller.

The Old Lincoln School in Brookline, Massachusetts, will be exquisitely transformed into an installation of cinematic scenes that evoke the world of Macbeth. You, the audience, have the freedom to roam the environment and experience a sensory journey as you choose what to watch and where to go. Rediscover the childlike excitement of exploring the unknown in this unique theatrical adventure.



Going to see this on Sunday night. Very excited, so weird and cool!

This might be the best quote OF ALL TIME

“When a man transforms into a wolf,” Taylor says, “all of his clothes get shredded. When he comes back to human form, he’s wearing ripped jeans, and that’s about it. It’s the way it was written. The great thing about this series is we stay true to the books.”

Happy Music Junkie




Okay, so Grizzly Bear was awesome (including the brand new song they played which is gonna be on the New Moon soundtrack which I hate to admit, but I'm really really excited about, I mean, new Thom Yorke, Death Cab for Cutie, St Vincent, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, what's not to love?)(except sparkly vampires). The opening band Beach House was good too.

White Rabbits were also good, which was expected since they are one of my new favorite bands. What was not expected was Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears who were FUCKING AWESOME!!! Seriously, not my usual type of music, but they were possibly the best band I saw all week. Really, really good, and all the better for being unexpected. The whole crowd was immediately won over and of course you can't ask for more than a free concert with a band you've never heard of that is really really good.
Sigh. A good couple of days.

Can't wait to see you guys.
