all of these emotions are pouring out of me

to quote kid cudi...

i was able to watch the boston marathon today, albeit online. that guy from kenya ran the fastest marathon ever! pretty incredible. also the 3rd closest finish for the women in history! wow what a great marathon.

i watched this movie called burma vj this weekend, actually on the flight home. it was intense. burma is such a bummer. my goodness. i'm going to avoid talking about anything political here, but if you're familiar with the situation, you know how much of a bummer it is.

there's a really good book called "finding george orwell in burma" that i may have mentioned on here. i want to revisit it now after seeing that movie.

here's a photo. i could link to the article that i found it from, it's a time.com one, but i'm gonna let you find it yourself. there have been some recent goings on in burma that you can read about it if you really feel like.

but be careful, big brother is watching.

good night, extended

hey, buenas noches. i'm adjusting back to the east coast schedule. i'm somewhere under 3 hours behind right now, getting there.

had a good day, went to an armenian market and pemberton market where i got a couple plants, just houseplants, i potted those and watered them and theyre in windowsills.

only watched a little bball cause i watched a bunch of bball yesterday. i did watch the movie bronson tho. pretty crazy! kind of a nutty story. guy's still alive too.

side note -- boston independent film festival is this weekend. i'll have more on that as the day approaches.

yesterday i got up at like 7 30 to go watch rowing. it was cold and windy and rainy. just so nasty out. we watched one race from the bank and then two from the car, driving alongside on memorial drive, watching the whole 2000 meters. except during the princeton harvard race, princeton lost their rudder and collided with harvards stern, losing part of their bow in the progress.

i actually saw the whole thing from the car -- princeton stopped rowing, and then i saw the coxswain hold up a big white piece of fiberglass. tough break.

then we went to victors diner in watertown (watertown is a great place for diners in case you didnt know). i ate a huge veggie omelette and a bunch of home fries, then i went home and went back to sleep til 2am. still getting over the messed up sleep schedule.

need to sign off, but just wanted to show you some tule elk. here ya go. see those little guys? click on the photo and then zoom in. here are some other point reyes photos too. i'll post some more.
