Movember, Snowtober

Snowed last night. White fluffy flakes. Not that rare -- happened two years ago this week as well. Been a little cold, but hey -- it's fall, that's what happens. I can't decide what I dislike more -- the darkness or the cold. Might be the darkness. I would definitely prefer sunshine and cold rather than overcast and dark.

My apt's been getting a little cold too. We have oil heat and radiators as well as old windows, a drafty attic, and an old building. I've gotten door sweeps for the doors, but I wanna try to do some more insulation as well.

Here are some photos from this past weekend. It was a good weekend. I saw a bunch of people and had a good time. I went to the Riverside after party for the first time at Ned Devine's which was a good time. It was a lot of dancing with rowers. Rowers are big goofy people, so there were some challenges on the dance floor, but I had a blast. Saw folks from college, met some Australians and a Dutch, met an adaptive rower too who had just won his first head race.

What else? -- I gotta start cooking again. I think I gotta cook some combination of steak, quiche, and sugar cookies this weekend. Don't ask why -- Siri told me.

Ready all, row

Had a good weekend and finished in top ten for our event.

Cool photo from the set of a music video produced by someone I tangentially know. Reminds me of like a nine inch nails music video or something? Or some neo noir movie like Brazil or Seven.

Hmmmm it's Friday and it's rainy. I worked out today and am happy about that. Trying to be productive and seize the night. Listening to SUB FM podcasts on the old iPod. I received a stereo system for free that isn't entirely functional, but the iPod dock and all of the different speakers and the woofer are pretty awesome.

NBA season is getting cancelled like whoa. Yikes. Oh well, gotta focus up on college basketball I guess.

I rowed the last couple weekends which has been fun. Did the whole head of the charles course both times. I'm actually rowing in the real head of the charles next weekend, which I'm getting excited for. I wanna kick some arse and win our event. I'll be in the alumni 8 and looking to go really fast.

I've been trying to watch some movies recently. Let's see, I watched "Crazy, Stupid Love" which was OK. I watched some of "Drive", but not all of it. I should just rewatch the whole thing rather than trying to watch it in pieces again. I must be on a Ryan Gosling kick! Hah. He's good, I like him. Seems to be all the rage right now.

I got loads of documentaries to watch too. I watched "Magic Trip", which was about the electric kool aid acid test, Ken Kesey, and his merry band of pranksters. It was pretty good, and I was at least able to learn about the group and it really made the story come alive. Their whole trip was supposed to be a movie, and so this documentary finally kind of brings that to life. There was clearly just so much footage, and I'm glad it finally made its way on to celluloid.

I watched "180 degrees south," which was a good documentary. It was really cool when they went to easter island and then Chile. So that was fun.

Aright I think I gotta go grocery shopping. Bout that time. Talk to y'all soon, peace!

"We're not near anything, but wherever that is, we're closer than we were before."

That's what David Stern said today. Yeah, get ready for not much basketball this year. He said that after like seven hours of bargaining with the players. Doesn't sound like it's going so well. Huge bummer. Although the timing's not that bad because I don't really have time to watch basketball no anyway.

I'm also not following boston college news and websites anymore. I gave up after watching them lose to Duke in person. So, I'm just watching the BC games on the wknd instead of avidly following all the bloggers and news.

It's October. Which means that it's ok to drink pumpkin beer and oktoberfest beer. I refuse to drink pumpkin beer or oktoberfest beer in September. Just doesn't seem right.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm little rainy weather. Not too bad though. At least it's not cold. I'm getting up at 6am tomorrow (today) morning to go rowing. Sounds like we're gonna row the full Head of the Charles course, all three miles. Should be fun. I gotta get some rest, wish me luck!

Night.
