i like to watch movies with subtitles on

is this weird? do you do this? like, even if a movie's in english, if there are subtitles i'd rather watch it with them on. i feel that i catch all the dialogue and it's easier remembering peoples names and stuff. i don't do this when i watch movies with other ppl tho, just if im starting it by myself

Navy SEALS snipers?!?!

Q+A: How the U.S. Navy ended Somali pirate drama



oh yeah and the captain was from Winchester too, believe it or not. Massachusetts. i hope you read about the anti-piracy classes taught at the maritime academy that the crew had taken. incredible. i followed this story from the first day it broke. thank god it ended well, just not for the pirates

more than a dozen ships are still being held by pirates, with more than 200 crewmen. some of the ships have been held since last fall while ransoms are being negotiated

The Limits of Control (2009)

The Limits of Control (2009)
directed by Jim Jarmusch

watch the 480 p here apple movie trailers the limits of control

focus features the limits of control

while i'm up

yo i gotta give you the breakdown before i go to sleep. celtics won in double overtime. complete insanity. celtics scored 8 points in a row, starting with 1:49 remaining in regulation. larry brown did not call a timeout during this entire time, which i believe gave away the game. all the bobcats needed was one stop or one bucket and they didnt get either. i wouldn't mind if the bobcats make the playoffs cause they're a fun team to watch. but BOY did they blow it tonight

yeah i went to enormous room for deep end, which is a wednesday dubstep night. went with paul and farah and erik. it was terrific. listened to Pandaia spin tunes. heavy beats. indoctrinated everyone with the dubstep rhythm.

hope you're feelin the SelfSays album, shoot the man an email

here's a boston photo. that little piece of bridge is my favorite part of boston to drive -- the little curve above the charles

selfsayswhat

yo, gotta post about some futuristic hiphop. gotta listen to this man, SelfSays, here's the link

you can download his album on the website, Something Out Of Nothing, here's the album cover too

it's good beats and good rhymes, nice basslines and drums, smooth flows, dig it

too many future hiphop beats these days sound like flying lotus or j dilla. this is neither, definitely its own sound, great instrumentals and synthy beats. also mastered really well and encoded at a quality rate. great sampling and looping

SelfSays

check out the myspace too, there's a good funny video on there, SelfSays myspace

this album is awesome

Jah Wobble and the Chinese Dub Orchestra

Chinese Dub

it's freaking good, lots of genres, east meets west, dubby, rockin, asian, it's really fun to listen to!

and i just learned that jah wobble is married to a zither player, which is pretty cool.

yah good music. weather=bad today. it was a fine day, just the weather was super nasty. oh yeah big story from yesterday. ill help you piece it together -- macklin and roy got free celtics tickets. they showed up at boston garden after paul pierce twittered that he was giving away tickets, if you read up on these links you'll get the idea. but yeah they were two of like 10 ppl or something to get tix to paul's private box.

and the suite number? i'll give you one guess...

534. haha, yup

paul pierce's twitter page (AWESOME)

hey, cant really write much now, gotta watch some more basketball, gotta watch basketball tmrw too

sounds like jeff is back in the states. i wanna hear some stories and see some photos. after that, i'd like to go to the beach :)

i def have some cool photos to put up, so ill put those up slowly. i still dont like how this blog compresses the photos and makes it so that you have to click on them to see them in full size, but oh well. click on em!

in my bracket i have missouri winning and villanova winning, let's see if they do!

cya

pom pom

421 posts! wow, whoda thunk.

yo i got a link for you. if you have ever been charged overdraft fees on your bank of america account then you should click on this link, fill out the claim form, and youll hopefully get 78 bucks at some point. its some kind of settlement, here it is

Closson Settlement

hopefully somebody can use this, it got forwarded to me, thought id share it.

k cya

very unimportant news

i am currently in the top ten of brackets on the bc interruption group. you can see me listed in this post.

my name is Bracketological Beats. wow, kinda surprised im sharing this, but hey, being in the top ten in anything is pretty good in my book, even if it's number 10 :)

yeah, had a good weekend, saw a buncha folks. watched an episode of deadwood. watched a ton of basketball. i absolutely loved watching it online, it worked so well.

thats about it for now, cya

coming right up

yo whats up. well i had a nice surprise today, as rena and jed were in town. what a nice surprise! we hung out and went to the miracle of science and had a couple laughs. im really looking forward to may!

well, i gotta get it off my chest that bc lost last night. yeah. rakim sanders played like two mins of the first half because of foul trouble, then josh southern got 4 fouls about 4 mins into the second half, and we got dominated.

oh well, terrific season. here are a couple photos to celebrate it. and with that i scale down my endless talking about bc basketball. it was fun for sure, but now future posts will be about other things! sweet

yeah. cold again here today, supposedly 50 degrees tmrw. not bad

this morning i had a scare. i got new ram for my computer. so i went to install it. i put the battery back in and go to start the computer up and all i get is loud beeping from the computer, no starting up.

i panicked, tried installing the old memory, same thing. i started driving to the apple store, called them up after getting the number from kate on air support, and set up an appt.

then i went home and reinstalled the ram, this time pressing the modules in firmly, and, thank god, it worked. so now my computer is fine. and i still went to the apple store and got a new power cord cause my old one was starting to fray. most excellent

oh yeah, you might have seen this article already, but im gonna post it anyway, too good to pass up. (thanks Matt!)

Obamas to Plant Vegetable Garden at White House

biggest takeaway quote -- "A White House carpenter, Charlie Brandts, who is a beekeeper, will tend two hives for honey."

lol. makes me want a garden.

last night we watched Box of Moonlight. it was a really good movie, fun! id recommend it for netflixing.

well im still watching basketball. ill try to get amped about blogging and do some more in detail reviews or link posting. later! happy spring!

aright!

hey, march madness is upon us. ive watched the games today, you can also watch them online too, which works pretty well. i have a couple brackets, theyre all ok to decent, but no perfect brackets yet. i shoulda picked lsu and maryland. oh well.

yo get this -- im in one bracket (eagle in atlanta) with 11 people. i am currently last with 5 our 7 picks correct. the other 10 people? they all have 7/7 picks right. incredible! some people know their basketball

celtics game last night was pretty awesome. celtics have been playing some tough basketball. gotta respect that.

yeah...weather's been a little strange around here. in the past week the days have either been cold, windy, overcast, warm, or rainy. a real new england mix of everything.

jeff is going to costa rica for a lil bit. lucky!

but im gonna try hanging out with a couple ppl, so thatll be cool. i hear rebecca is back in town, and im gonna hang out in my neighborhood a little cool.

currently watching miss st v washington. wash looks pretty strong. brock just took a big spill.

k, i hope your brackets are doing well. ill tty tmrw

yo

yo hows it going. first i wanna post this link to this fascinating nytimes article about jurors using the internet when theyre not supposed to

Mistrial by iPhone: Juries’ Web Research Upends Trials

wow can you believe it! i guess im not surprised. my favorite line: "I was curious." haha

well its nice and sunny today. the dashboard widget says its cold, but outside in the sun its not too bad. i got lunch with rob at shalimar, it was good, and this time i didnt overeat

so im busy doing research for brackets. as usual, im sure my bracket will end up doing pretty bad, but im gonna do like 3 or 4 or 5 different brackets, diversify ya know

well ive been keeping my bc writing to a minimum, but ive got some cool photos and some energetic writing that im just saving haha. in case you hadnt heard, bc plays usc this friday night in minneapolis. very much looking forward to watching it

aright, cya

hi

hi whats up. its been too long since i last posted, sorry for that, ill work on it. i just got back from seeing clynton and Omayga play at middle east upstairs. it was a lot of fun. clynton is really good and he was gettin wild, it was great.

thursday and friday i watched basketball all day. then i watched a bunch of basketball on saturday and sunday. it was pretty glorious.

today was pretty cool. i met a dartmouth friend who actually lives right next door, so that was pretty awesome. we grilled too, some good stuff, chicken and kielbasa and such, lil corn and peppers. the issue of gas vs charcoal was brought up. charcoal is better but...well ya know, the debate rages on

i finally watched slumdog millionaire last night. it was pretty good. but i was interested in thinking about it as an independent film vs a foreign language film. its like, hey, ive got a formula for success -- make an independent film in a foreign country and cast the citizens of that country in the leading roles, then (and this is the most important part) have them speak english, no matter what their actual language is.

k thats my lil rant haha. hmm what else is going on. ive been playing some basketball and trying to go to the gym and get in shape and stuff, so thats good. its still been kinda cold out, which is too bad, but at least theres been some sunshine.

k ill be bloggin more, night

oh yeah look at this image, i dont even think ive heard of 90 percent of these places

6 overtimes

did you see it? i tuned in in the middle of the 2nd overtime and then watched the rest. wow, what a game. 6 overtimes!
