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, [...]

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 [...]
