peanut brittle



































peanut brittle

ate too much of it. and too many thin mints. the necco kind.

also ate two banana chocolate chip muffins too fast and a bagel with cream cheese too fast. then my stomach hurt for the rest of the night.

here's a cool website with more of this jewelry Shaw Jewelry

andy's here, so we're having fun. talking about music and football and stuff. good times.

had physical therapy appt today, i'm doing well! i've got new exercises to do, which are pretty sweet, so i'm pumped about that

i've got a book that's due today but i think i'm gonna call the library and see if they'll renew it for me cause i've already renewed it 3 times online haha

watched the stephen colbert christmas special, it was pretty good. bears!

patriots game yesterday was awesome. chris made vegetarian chili which was really good of course. i wanna make jerk chicken, i just gotta rally.

i'm still watching the celtics game from yesterday too. tmrw night is bc v purdue at madison sq garden, lil bball game with the tyrese rice show. should be fun.

bc lost to st louis this weekend, so let's hope they come out and play hard tmrw. purdue is ranked #11, so it should be hard, but let's go BC!

weekend was good, just took it easy, needed it. aright, pretty standard posting, days and sports and days. hope you're good. later!

really like her



























really like her

these are photos of the new cri boathouse. that's community rowing for the uninitiated. i think you can look at a video of the new boathouse here

it's huge. it's beautiful. it's like something that was built for the beijing games. check it out next time you're in brighton or watertown, it's a sight! pretty cool stuff. CRI rowed out of a hockey rink for a very long time, so it's a big change, and now it's like the biggest and best boathouse in the country. good stuff

i wanted to write a lil more because i got a lil blogguilt after not posting for a couple days, now i can feel myself slowing down though, i also had to post these photos because they've been sitting on my desktop for a long time

aright, rest for the weary. stay warm

to boldly go where no blog has gone before



















to boldly go where no blog has gone before

i thought this photo was fitting for the title. it's a photo from some dj's myspace page, again some dude that made some really good dubstep mix (but i think i have this one)

did not go out tonight, but i did watch two episodes of whale wars, which i would highly RECOMMEND you go watch

but first, answer the following...

do you think WHALE WARS is:

a. a show about whales fighting each other

b. a show about people fighting each other using whales as weapons

c. a show about people fighting over the killing of whales

if you guessed a or b you have a great sense of humor, and i appreciate your creativity. if you guessed c i think you're right, but i've only seen a couple episodes of the show

go check it out though. also animal planet puts on some crazy stuff now, including this show untamed and uncut, which i refuse to watch now, it's like those shows "when animals attack" (remember those? we used to make fun of them, and now it's how animal planet stays alive)

another crazy show -- destroyed in seconds. i think it's on discovery. basically it's terrible explosions and disasters and stuff. again, something that you would think would be on like fox or spike, but no, it's on the discovery networks. i guess they had to put on something that ppl would watch

well again i've surprised myself with the fact that i can actually still write. this is good, i'll try to keep on rallying

k y'all, tgif, get some rest. cya

gonna be hard to keep this up



















gonna be hard to keep this up

not sure how much i'll be able to keep updating this blog here. don't have much drive to do so, but i'll try to rally

boston college basketball won, they play purdue, who's ranked #10, next wednesday at 7pm at madison square garden. it's gonna be RAD

this photo is from some dubstep mix that i'll never listen to. reminds me of my animation though!

here's a cool link: Japanese girl makes her pitch for pro team

wow it's cold outside huh? at least the sun's out. i need to get a winter hat. well look at that, i actually wrote a post. maybe i WILL be able to keep on WRITING

cyaaaaa

do you hear the words that are coming out of my blog?!





















do you hear the words that are coming out of my blog?!

well, i just got the new album by distance called REPERCUSSIONS and i'm gonna listen to it, so you got me while i'm amped

k, i guess the last time i blogged was a couple days ago, which is SCHILL. it's a beauuuuutiful day in the bean today, fitty five with a chance of WINDY, a good day to go get a new ipod from the apple store because yours won't SYNC any more without FREEZING

i have to rally and go do this, could be DEVASTATING if i don't :)

man, did you see that wind last night? it was like, whoosh!

well, i'm pretty behind, need to listen to music all day. k i'll get back on soon, lates

"it's just football"

























"it's just football"

wow, what a game. i mean, we lost, but that's about as exciting a game of football as you will ever see. we stayed for the whole game obvi, didn't blow it like some other ppl there. sounds like there was a questionable call on vrabel on the jets last drive in the 4th quarter?

we had a lot of fun, pats lost, but the pats barely deserved to send it into overtime either. i don't have much perspective on how great a game it was, but it felt like a pretty good one. the last catch by randy moss didn't even look like a catch at first cause it was on the other side of the field, then everyone cheered! haha. and it didn't even rain and wasn't cold or windy.

k, friday now, nother day, pats don't play until miami which is in TEN days. so, do whatever you want this weekend, cause you're off the hook for watchin pats on sunday, haha don't need to schedule your plans around it

wow i'm gonna hafta find the energy to root for celtics and bc this weekend. i was screaming and pounding on the seat in front of me at the end. freakin brett favre (i can't believe i even decided to spell his name right)

wow, cassel set a record for passing 400+ and rushing 62? damn. well, there ya go

k i gotta find something else that's as easy to talk about as SPORTS.

right after i post a link of hockey players fighting (something i don't even like and think it's stupid, but whatever. accessibility begets laziness.) Lucic vs Komisarek 11-13-08 thanks Chris! even though you don't read this :)

k it's late. get some rest! peace.

a reason




















a reason

yo yo yo, what's crackin. i'm going to the pats game tonight, so i'm very lucky. i'm also lucky to have grown up in BOSTON where my whole life i've watched BOSTON sports teams such as the CELTICS who have a player named PAUL PIERCE who is a magician and also known as THE TRUTH

last nights hawks game was awesome, pierce is so truthy, he's a force, he's unstoppable, give him 40 mins and he will take over a game

big big week sports wise, like i've said. some other stuff goin on, lemme see if i got any links

Dartmouth Junior Wins County Election

i read this on the dartmouth, but thanks Sylvia for the nytimes link!

k i'll get back at you with some more stuff soon, lates

high hat high hat high hat




















high hat high hat high hat

i wouldn't normally put something so dark and sardonic up here, but i really liked it.

game notes from the bc game this weekend: "LB Mark Herzlich paid tribute to teammate Clarence Megwa, who shattered his leg the previous week. Herzlich wore Megwa’s Long Ranger-like black eye and also had Megwa’s No. 11 stenciled under one eye."

linkage: Oak Ridge Boasts Fastest Computer at Open Research

this caught my eye because the Dartmouth Crew trains at Oak Ridge, Tennessee every year. I spent two weeks there every spring break for four years, staying at the Days Inn, eating at Shoney's, seat-racing and eating the largest meals of my life.

waiting and wait



































waiting and wait

i've been waiting too long to post. i'll work on this.

great celtics game tonight. paul pierce is otherworldly.

this week -- celtics wednesday, pats thursday, celtics friday, celtics AND bc football saturday. jeez, this schedule just doesn't get any easier huh? :)

barack and roll




























barack and roll

wow how awesome is that? what a night. watched cnn and other news all day, cnn is ridiculous and kind of annoying, but i guess it's their job just to overdo it on everything. watched coverage all day, including the story that Cambridge MA had the wrong voter lists this morning

played some ball this afternoon with Drew that I needed bad, didn't do too much with the arm, but it was my first getting outside and running around a little in like a month. so that was cool. i gotta start gettin back to the gym and gettin on the bike

had a fun night tonight with good cheer and television happiness. no debates about the electoral college :)

everyone came over, we had a good time, we watched the daily show/colbert report thing, we watched the speeches, we talked. it was pretty great.

and it will be when we wake up tmrw too! yayyy!!! anticipate excitement

whew, well. pats lost, but we'll recover hopefully. Andy's fired up for notre dame-bc next week, me not so much. b. leclair is back on the grid, which is good

fun weekend, thursday at good life was righteous, party and afterparty/sitting at my apt were good on halloween (no love to somerville po). saturday was good and relaxing, cept bc lost to clemson. i guess the celtics lost their first game too. im still struggling to watch the celtics bulls game haha

some good photos (i can't wait til i get a new camera, one that takes nicer photos)

chilled out today, played some call of duty. i hear that call of duty 5 is coming out. hmmmm i might have to get that ya know! haha. was about this time last year that call of duty 4 came out, was mad fun then

i suppose i have links to post, but i guess they'd all be to music blogs haha. so not much point. point is -- there are thousands of music blogs, in many languages too! and they rule. and blogger facilitates this. thank you blogger

i hope y'all had great weekends and that your halloween was fun and spooky. night, Dave

let's go C's! one mo'!






























let's go C's! one mo'!

"Every night of his adult life, Doc Rivers says, he has prayed before bedtime. And every night, it was the same thing: ''To win a world championship.''
''And the night we won it, I got on my knees to do my prayer and I said, 'Again,' " the Boston Celtics coach said."

thanks for the ampedness j and roy. glad to hear LA is seeing green and that we're feelin the C's coast to coast! let's go!

here's a basketball blog that i think some of y'all will get a kick out of...Basketbawful

notice ricky with fro and raef with...himself?

aright, i can't use the beginning of the celtics season as a reason not to WRITE. even still, last years celtics season was a little slice of heaven. i managed to watch nearly all of the games except like 3 (which is kind of ridiculous that i would watch that much tv, but if you know me, a lot of tv is not much of a challenge :) )

so here we are, october 28th, the day of reckoning (ooh not really i don't like that, how about just the day of awakening. oooh no that's worse, how about just the day of raising the banner and ceremonializing the rings? k that's better)

cause think about it this way -- basketball is...glorious. i can't really put it any other way. get

AMPED

beat the Cavs!

so fired up right now


so fired up right now





















competing like i ain't got a spot y'all...

"Powe and Davis competed last year with P.J. Brown for minutes in the frontcourt, and then O'Bryant arrived over the summer.

"For me it's team," Powe said. "But I'm going to come out here every day competing. It don't matter to me. When you step on the court, I'm competing like I ain't got a spot. But as far as competition, it's good for the team, good for each other, because it helps you.""

get fired up




















get fired up

"We are so prepared," Ray Allen said yesterday, "that in one-on-ones, it got to the point where guys get in fights. Nobody ever actually fights, but we have a lot of barking on this team, from everybody, and I think you see that machismo among the guys. Everyone wants to feel like the top dog. Ultimately, we take that and translate it to the team concept, and everything we do helps the team.

urban cut



















urban cut

well, i hear that a lotta yall (even if it's only a few :) ) like reading this blog, so that makes me happy, and i'll keep on posting

it's late, i'm sleepy, late party last night, windy stormy weather outside

bc lost by many, many points today. they're still in the drivers seat though, just need to win the rest of their acc games

also, the celtics regular season begins this week. oct 28 at 8pm against the cavs and king james (i like the king more than i did last season, think he'll average 30 a game this year? mvp? how bout pierce for mvp? yeah that's what i'm talkin about)

so i'm wearing my KG shirt, gettin fired up

partied at amy/jesse/jens last night. fun times, good folks, tough ipod mix haha but it's cool. good times!

Rena came down yesterday and we had a lot of fun and walked around MIT and that crazy dorm building that i don't feel like looking up right now. but it was good and we walked to the charles and walked through the main MIT building and around cambridge

well, there's plenty to talk about, and plenty links to post, but i'm feelin sleepy and just wanna send good vibes out to yall. this blog is mad fun and it's fun stayin in touch with everyone.

notice the preponderance of the words good and fun? haha

last night i heard that everything happens for a good reason. i'll think about it :)

check ya
