Pretty Annoying
I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. It’s been great, I love flicks, but there’s something that has been consistently annoying the hell outta me… pretty girls. They annoy the shit outta me.
Take for instance The Forbidden Kingdom, great movie I thought. Not an authentic martial arts type, but the kind of martial arts [...]

Blood Less
And yet another reason to not do any post-work, weekday, sunset runs… my legs are bitten like crazy! Stupid blood devouring little organisms (not to be mistaken with reverse-vampire children who only come out during the day).
Yesterday my legs itch like nuts, today they’re past the itching phase and onto the sore/hurting phase. Is there [...]

Twist & Shout On The Charles River
I got back from a race a couple hours ago. This one went immensely better than last month’s race. Last month it was incredibly hot, impossibly humid, plus like an idiot I had around 4 hours of sleep the night before. Needless to say, worst finishing time ever.
Today’s race, same distance as last time, [...]

Traveling The Line
I’m going to travel somewhere before the year’s end. Don’t really know where, haven’t decided yet. Flying home (Virginia) doesn’t count, I’m thinking somewhere else. Obviously it’s going to be traveling alone to a destination where I actually know somebody, since I’m pretty sure nobody will want to go anywhere with me (see last post).
Going [...]

Reading & Leeds Festivus
I don’t know if anybody noticed, but this past weekend was the Reading & Leeds Festival in the UK. Call me effing bitter, but nobody wanted to go with me, not to this one, not to the Isle Of Wight Festival, not to the Sasquatch Festival, not to …
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with [...]

Currently Listening To XIV…
The Helio Sequence – Keep Your Eyes Ahead
This album… wow. If the first song (Lately) doesn’t pull you in, then don’t even bother with it, but I swear to you it will. Hell, the lyrics themselves will kidnap you, regardless of the music. I’ve been listening to it for a few months on and off, [...]
I Are Scientists
For the life of me, I just can’t stop listening to We Are Scientists lately, their new album Brain Thrust Mastery, but especially their 2006 album With Love And Squalor. I’ve been a fan of their for a couple years, but since their amazing show a couple weeks ago I’ve been rejuvenated, almost to the [...]

Lactose Diet
He digs into his bowl with a spoon encased in a small hill of natural peanut butter. He takes his first bite… starting to chew slower with each motion, inadvertently making a face while trying to place the newly discovered taste in a dish known to him. Lemons? He wasn’t quite sure, the peanut butter [...]
Non-stop
So I’m headed to a Radiohead conert tonight, finally. Only seen them once before, it would’ve been three times already if the first two festivals with Radiohead didn’t get canceled on me, bad luck with them I think.
The first rain or shine outdoor show was axed because of rain. Yeah, you read that right. The [...]

You! Eat!
You know what grinds my gears?
So a few of us go to lunch, we all get something to eat, but there is one lone person with just a cup of coffee. What the hell man? Why even come with us? I don’t give a shit if you had a big breakfast, get [...]
