a good day (in some ways)

a good day (except the celtics lost, we're not gonna talk about it)

i got to go to the red sox game. Sam took me and it was fun. there were really drunk ppl in front of us (surprise). before we left i realized i had unconsciously been kicking the person in front of me. oh well.

the sox beat the orioles, 6-4. i've got a couple photos i could upload from my phone. good times tho, not cold or rainy. except the seats were so small, like, about as wide as my laptop. so i had to stand up after every half inning. i made it tho, and the T was crowded but bearable.

the Dartmouth freshmen heavyweight crew beat bu and rutgers. this is the first time that any Dartmouth crew has beat BU in a while. definitely a long time since the freshman did. we did my freshman year, so hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.

The Big Ticket Stub

The mood had lightened enough Friday for second-year forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis to joke about his role as the replacement for “The Big Ticket,” Garnett’s nickname, in Saturday’s series opener.

“I’m not the Big Ticket. I’m the Ticket Stub,” Davis said with a grin. “So don’t count the Ticket Stub out. You might need the ticket to get into the game, but you leave with the ticket stub because you’ll never forget this game. You need it as a souvenir.”

the funniest photo i've ever seen

BY FAR

ok maybe twitter can be kinda funny and not a poor substitute for blogging

here's a tweet that made me think that maybe, just maybe, twitter could contribute something positive to this world

# retweet myself from oct 13th: 'goal for the day: be a good person in a non-ironic fashion.' today: same goal, but stated ironically.6:59 AM Apr 10th from twitterrific

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)

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!)
