Harvard Square is celebrating the Year of the Rat with a Lion Dance Parade. Perhaps even more meaningful for some Cambridge residents, the Hong Kong (yay scorpion bowl!) is holding an open house in honor of its 54th anniversary. But be aware that they are having a craft party, not a scorpion bowl party. 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, free.

The cold weather is no excuse for you not to get out!

ImprovBoston is, well, getting a little closer to Boston by getting closer to the T. They are almost ready to open their new location right by the Central Square T stop, next door to The Field.

The Globe supplemented today's print edition with a 16 page supplement on the ICA (including the ads). The ICA has been the topic of the local arts blogs and print media arts press for the last few months, a fury of activity has picked up over the past few weeks. The Institute for Contemporary Arts location in the Back Bay closed earlier this year with the promise of a new location on the Boston Waterfront...

We got a couple emails this weekend from concerned citizens who had spotted Mounties on the shore at Charleston Navy Yard. Yep, it's true. The U.S. Navy, National Park Service, and colonial-dressed docents alike allowed the Canadians to dock and take shore. We hoped for a South Park-style battle to be brewing, unfortunately it was merely a PR campaign for Canadian-based Bay Ferries new CAT high-speed ferry service from Portland, ME. Formerly only making trips from Bar Harbor to Novia Scotia the company recently expanded their service to depart from Portland as well. We hear it's been well received by their focus groups. A maze of metal barriers was woven together to board the ferry, though when we made it down to take a look there was merely a trickle of folks checking out the "open house" ferry. We expected a lot of tourists to be present, but found that a majority of the people we encountered were not from distant lands stopping over after checking out the Constitution but were travel agents and other tourism workers who had just come up from Braintree, or out from Worchester to gander at Canada's big boat. We didn't take a close enough look to know if they were supposed to promote Maine or Canada – but foam lobsters were the prize for anyone who made it onto the CAT.

Oh, the Holiday Season, how it makes us remember that we really should get back on that diet and start working out. Now that the leftovers from Thanksgiving are finally eaten up we’ve already started upon the cookie circuit. Time to get ahead of the curve (well, our curves, mostly growing around the middle), stake out our resolutions, and join a gym. With FitCorp, Boston Sports Club, Gold’s, and even Beacon Hill Athletic Club locations-a-plenty...

The weekend forecast is a bit troubling with the constant fear of rain being touted by every forecaster in Boston. Unfortunately, there are a lot of outdoor events going on this weekend. Bostonist has rounded up a list of them (with the big disclaimer: weather permitting)
