*poing*poing*poing*

brooksmoses and I went out today. We went to Hugo's, 'cause essentially everything there is half off, and half off at a used bookstore is a good, scary thing. I have lots of books. And after I decided that the lots of books I had were sufficient, I left them at the counter and went to interact with the store cat, who decided I had an acceptable lap and did not want to be evicted. (I said, "I'd like to get up, cat," and the cat promptly curled up and snuggled.)

And then we went to the Vietnamese restaurant in the garage, and I was brave and got the Large Order Of Soup. Which I essentially finished, never mind that the bowl for that has essentially the same cross-sectional area as my abdomen. (Brooks agreed with me on that.)

But the poing-poing-poing is because on the way down there was a song on ZLX, and it sounded like Boston, but it didn't sound like Boston I'd heard before.

This is because it's a new release.

*peers at Amazon*

Erm, well, Amazon is temporarily not open. Odd.

*peers at CdNow*

Seems to be entitled "Corporate America". Release date is, oddly enough, tomorrow.... (Click on image for details)

I also wish to note that the CdNow page has 30-second sound clips of all the songs. They'll play on my laptop, if it turns out that the formats are all anti-Mac proprietary.

um, might a boston-bound book-loving person ask where Hugo's could be found?

i did a google search and keep getting a place in minneapolis.

*grin* *returning from another bookstore expotition well-laden, but different bookstore*

Avenue Victor Hugo, I think its proper name is. It's most readily accessible from the T, as it's right across the street from the Hynes Convention Center stop (B, C, D Green line trains). Basically, get off the train, look for the signs saying "Newbury Street", go out the whirly exit with the bars, cross the street, turn right, and it's about a half-dozen doors down on the left.

Today, Brooks and I did the New England Mobile Book Fair, which is neither mobile nor a book fair, but which is one of the delights of my little existence. That's in Newton, which is, incidentally, right next to Waltham if I'm remembering it right. . . .
