The authors of Restless Virgins, Abigail Jones and Marissa Miley, must be loving life right now. All they had to do was probe into the exploits of the Milton Academy hockey team and its paramours, and they struck gold. They have the number one book on the hardcover nonfiction bestsellers list, and word is out that someone's bought the TV rights.

If only Tim Wakefield could pitch in Toronto all the time. Wake shut down the Jays a month ago, and he did it again Thursday night, going seven innings and cruising to a 8-0 pounding of the Blue Jays, who have plummeted straight past "hapless". 26-5 was the final score of the three-game series. Wake had a little early trouble. The Jays loaded the bases with one out, but Wake struck out Frank Thomas, then...

For those who love reality television, you are most likely familiar with the FOX series, "Trading Spouses", where two “couldn’t be more different” families swap the mothers for a week to see what happens when mothers stop being polite and start getting real. One recent episode had the fathers so riled up over one another's spouses that a table was thrown with shouts of "You're going to kill him. Stop it!" in the background. (Riveting, right?) So when this posting popped up today on craigslist’s “creative gigs” section, Bostonist had to give those Fox Television execs some credit. While they might have misstepped by killing off Mischa Barton's character on "The O.C." recently, FOX might be onto something good here:

There are quite a few author readings and events going on tonight around the city and there seems to be a bit of something for everyone. So why not Tivo that episode of "The O.C." (Bostonist knows it's one of your guilty pleasures) and introduce some literature into your night. If feminism, comedy, and just blatant, hilarious honesty, is your interest, head over to see Jill Soloway (pictured) in her "Tiny Ladies Extravaganza" at 8p.m....

Across the river, Zuzu's has their Electrosocial night with Plunge Into Death and Cyanide Valentine, with dancing provided by DJ MicL Pvtn. It's your best bet, and fun is guaranteed. Oh, and of course, there are arty noisy options over at Great Scott, so kick it over there after Hornby-time:We Are Wolves, Coughs, and Where Are You From? Are You In School? (Guess which band is from Boston, Boston.)

And on another note, The Center for Public Interest (CSPI) decided to sue the government this week over the lack of control of salting foods. CSPI first started this lawsuit back in 1983 and recently renewed it, claiming that the FDA should say sodium is an additive, not "generally recognized as safe." Since Americans are now having 4,000 milligrams of salt a day (double the recommended limit), CSPI is urging the government to step in and set limits for salt in food. Sure, watching your sodium is important, but please let Bostonist have its over-salted potato chips while watching "The O.C." It's one of the true pleasures left.

If you are looking for something to do tonight besides watch "the last five minutes of The O.C." why not venture to Somerville and take in some alcohol and sweets? The Somerville Chamber of Commerce is hosting "A Wine and Chocolate Affair to Remember" which features local distributors and their samples of wines and chocolates. This second annual event is sure to satisfy whatever craving you might be having tonight...word on the street is that there are appetizers and a chocolate fountain to boot. It's being held at the Good Time Emporium in Assembly Square, from 6p.m. to 9p.m. Tickets are $20. If you go, let Bostonist know...unfortunately, we'll be home watching Summer and Seth.
