This craptastic selfie is my 3:00 snapshot, like it or not. Someone in the bar saw me doing it and came over to do it right.

This has been floating around facebook lately, a map of the Boston rapid transit system with the station names replaced with nearby bars. It appears to come from a website called thrillest.com about which I know nothing. I can't seem to find a very good resolution image to post here (subject to change) but it's clever enough that I want to post it now.
I do go to a lot of bars in Boston, but looking at this map it looks otherwise. Mostly that's because I have favorite watering holes near the ones they list here. Most of these are very big, very loud places.
Bars I've been to:
Red line: The Burren (good), The Field (pretty good)
Blue line: The Black Rose (my dad loves it, in a touristy part of town I avoid), Bill Ash's Lounge (basically the only choice on Revere Beach).
Orange Line: Brendan Behan (great, but no kitchen), Bella Luna (haven't been to the new location, but pretty nice back in the day), Fireside Tavern (Alexis hates it but my dad and I had a real nice time there--a little pricey for the neighborhood)
Green Line: The Haven (Scottish restaurant kind of expensive--right across the street from the Brendan Behan), Corrib Pub (okay), The Publick House (overrated, had a really bad experience there with lemonade, of all things), CornWalls (haven't been in a really long time but I liked it--only English pub in town), Paradise Rock Club (it's a rock club, doesn't really belong on the list), White Horse Tavern (gross, many better choices nearby), Wonder Bar (pretentious and nasty, I'd much rather walk the 4 blocks to The Model cafe than go in that place again).
Not on the list are my favorite bars Flann O'Briens (instead they have the Mission Bar and Grill, which I've never been in, because Flanns is right there, and has really good cheap food) and The James's Gate (which is a ways past the Behan, not super close to the T lines).
The bike ride today was great, lots of great company and laughs. We did get soggy and despite having 5 million raffle tickets none of us won anything. Great massage though. In a few hours I'm off to Providence for Bowling for Rhinos!
Edited to add: I really like this song, might as well make it easy for you to listen to. Firewater are known for melding genres; this is a Gospel/Drinking song.

Yesterday I went and got my dad and brought him to Boston, where we had food and drink at Flann O'Briens!

An errand brought us back to where Brookline meets Mission Hill. Notice the MATEP tower, seen from the opposite side than I usually photograph it. As long as we're in the neighborhood...

My dad came up to visit! Details not to miss: "Lick" by my head is J.P. Licks; my hat was made for me by

audacian which is very comfortable, and I joke that it makes me look like a shroom dealer; My dad is wearing a Fred Eaglesmith trucker cap; Alexis has freshly cleaned teeth, including her broken one, which the dentist said was fine as long as it didn't bother her; We have just left Flann O'Briens where Alexis and I had jalapeño cheeseburgers and my dad had Guinness beef stew. It was pretty cold, but the predictions for snow had changed and we still hadn't had any this year. This was probably the last time my dad would visit us in Brookline, since we will move at the end of the year.
Earlier that day, my dad and I saw a red-tailed hawk in the Arboretum.

I call it "Bangers and Mash" myself, but what the hey. We all had the special today.

Apropos of not much, Alexis and I went to Flann's for brunch last Sunday.
She surprised me by ordering herself a very photogenic beer.
She's not so bad herself. :)

First spring brunch at Flann's. It was cold and drizzly out, but Alex, Alexis and I had a nice time.
I saw my first open daffodils on the way.

Routine Disruption Random

With my routine as disrupted as it has been, I've kind of lost track of livejournal. Here's my photo from our 4th anniversary celebration at Flanns. ( Read more... )

Alexis tries to warm up while Yeats looks over her shoulder, at Flann's.
On this day in 365 Urban Species: American wigeon.
