The date: August 18, 2008
The time: 8:23 PM ET
The situation: roommate needed, as current roommate Sean has found lodging in Boston.
The response: created an account on roommates.com.
The specifications requested: roommate must be: a) male b) between 21 and 26 years old; c) steadily employed; d) non-smoker; e) have good musical taste.
The results: "Roommates.com has found a match for you. 28-year old male; unemployed; smoker; self-proclaimed Celine Dion fanatic."
The specifications violated: b, c, d, e

What the hell happened to all the 21 to 26-year old employed non-smokers who don't enjoy listening to bulimic Canadian headcases screeching mindlessly on stage? Maybe they're in Boston...

Cities in which psychiatrists have gone to work for me: Dover, DE; Cleveland, OH; Humboldt County, CA; Alpena, MI; Omaha, NE.
Perhaps I will place somebody somewhere half-way decent next month.

Natalie is in Waltham!

A word about the Wilco concert I attended at Tanglewood: The show was amazing. Wilco is perhaps one of the greatest bands of the past fifteen years. And nobody knows who they are. To the three of you who read this blog: LISTEN TO WILCO. 
Suggested songs: Jesus, etc; Impossible Germany; Can't Stand It; Poor Places; Company in My Back; Hate It Here; Forget the Flowers; When You Wake Up Feeling Old.

Good stuff.
