Sporogenesis
The Harvard Square T stop has been festooned with a colorful ad campaign for Spore. They're like the iPod ads — black silhouettes against bright backgrounds — but instead of dancing hipsters there are hundreds and hundreds of little buggy aliens, and bold-face slogans like IS MY BATTLE CRY DIFFERENT ENOUGH FROM MY NON-BATTLE CRY? and GIVE ME YOUR CITY HALL.
We ate two of the four burgers available at Four Burgers in Central Square, the turkey and the veggie. (Also available: salmon and regular.) Tasty burgers, crispy fries, friendly staff, but they've only been there for three months, and still have some bugs to work out: the cash register was locked, there was confusion about which bottled root beers they had in stock, food was delivered to the wrong tables. Still, I'd recommend them for a solid burger experience, and they earn points for being ostentatiously green and sustainable about everything, and for the most up-front restaurant name in Boston. (Least up-front: Friendly's.)
Productive evening in Diesel, filling three pages of my Moleskine, on three subjects that needed thinking about. Solved half a dozen little snags. Moved up in seating quality three times, but did not reach the apex of seating: the squishy black leather chair in the corner. Did not flirt.
