hola

hey. hows it going. for like the billionth time this year (season), i went to allston sports depot last night to watch a bc game on espnu! surprise surprise! boy am i predictable. well, bc lost, but its ok. jeff told me not to get too worked up, so i wont. but yeah. too bad.

apparently if bc ends up as a 7 or 8 seed in the ncaa tournament then they would play the #1 seed in their division if they win the first game. will this happen??? who knows

yeah. so you know the new kanye album? clynton and i listened to it a while ago and we were like, "eh this is kinda lame." then a couple months later and now we really like it. pretty catchy stuff. its funny we dismissed it so early on

today i wanna get a couple things done. i wanna go to the verizon store and replace my phone. i think its been so long since ive gotten a new phone that theyll probably give me one or two for free. my current phone is super reliable, but its time to move on.

i also wanna go to the indian place for lunch in central sq that serves a buffet, shalimar. ive lived in central sq for a while now, and i havent even hit this up yet! so im really looking forward to that. gonna eat a couple plates of indian food and im gonna be very very happy.

celtics won last night in new jersey. game was pretty sweet. i watched it on tape after i got home. paul pierce hit the game winner. one thing tho -- this team is having way too many turnovers! we had freakin 19 turnovers last night!

now im all for pushing the ball hard up the floor, but with less than a quarter of the season left we really need to get less careless. its gonna be hard to win playoff games with 20 turnovers.

yeah. so my roommate and some friends went out last night. some of them claim i am responsible for them meeting each other. some dont (or do they?). who are we to believe? haha, im being silly.

i gotta watch some movies. i got some good ones. lemme see if i can recap some that i watched recently.

i watched defiance, pretty sweet movie. i watched bigger stronger faster, really really good documentary. oh yeah and i watched you dont mess with the zohan, which is also really good.

this photo is from inside the google boston or cambridge offices. haha, hell yeah.

k, im getting better at this writing thing! ttyl, d

Dr. Jim Yong Kim, Dartmouth's 17th President

“At some point, you have to decide whether you’re going to keep throwing your body at a problem, which is what I’ve always done,” he said. “You realize that one person can’t do that much. So what I want to do is train an army of leaders to engage with the problems of the world, who will believe the possibilities are limitless, that there’s nothing they can’t do. Being the president of an Ivy League university is an amazing opportunity.”

from Dartmouth Selects Its New President From Harvard

wow how exciting! here's the dartmouth page about him dartmouth.edu

yo how's it going

hey, let's see if i can get some momentum here. it was warm yesterday, like, really warm. i went outside in shorts and played basketball for the first time since october, which was awesome. i dunked a couple times, tested out the right arm (it's not ready yet), and shot around for a bit. it's almost march, which means that winter is over in my book! good job getting through winter everyone, it wasn't easy, but we did it

i think i'm gonna go to the cape today. seeing that i haven't been to the cape since 2006 (i'm pretty sure that's sad but true) i think it's a good idea. i just have to go to winchester and take the dryer to the dump and get a haircut. shoot i also have to pack, i should prob go do that now.

i watched the celtics last night. dude, it was awesome. stephon marbury is...really good. not sure we remembered that given that he hasn't played in a year, but he's stayed in shape and still has that shooters touch. i'm actually really excited to keep on watching the celtics -- mikki moore (aka mo mikey) and stephon marbury (aka stephonius) are already really helping out this team.

i watched this movie idiocracy last night. it was very silly. i would recommend watching it only if you really like dystopic movies about the future and beavis and butthead type humor. actually, that's probably why i rented it! haha, look at what i'm learning

ok, i should go deal. ill talk to you soon, peace

ok

ok ill put a little effort into this because drew called me out.

so yeah. today i went to fulk and macklin me and roy went to felipes. got a grilled vegetables plate. excellent stuff. gotta eat vegetables! they dont teach ya that in college. :)

i went to the gym. im finally getting better about going to the gym. im going to try hard to get myself back in shape and do more outdoorsy/active type of stuff. luke's mountain bike is in the basement -- i should ride that in the fells soon. thatd be fun

then matt and i went on a journey to find a dryer -- which turned out to be pretty much identical to the one that we have that stopped working. it was pretty funny, in some dingy basement, looking at a dryer that was just a slightly newer model than the one we are getting rid of. oh well. it took a while to drive back and forth and bring it upstairs but now we have a dryer and all is well.

celtics lost last night. to the clippers. by a point. no im not lying.

then tonight friends came over. we hung out and watched some comedy central. watched some futurama. i cant really get into that show.

i found these photos from some weird forward about striped icebergs and striations in glacial ice or something. i dono, they look cool.

i saw kane today, which was cool, havent seen him in a while. he's leaving monday, so we're gonna get to hang again.

i wanted to watch a movie but now its too late. blast!

oh yeah i made these peanut butter balls. theyre officially buckeye treats or something, ill dig up the recipe. and last night we made baked haddock too, which was great. gonna try to keep on cooking good stuff! ill let you know how that goes haha, im finally getting into cooking, which is good

k ill ttyl

Thank you!

well, celtics won today. pretty awesome. rondo scored like 32 points.

i went skiing today to nashoba valley with matt and farah. nashoba is a wuss mountain, but it's good to go at least once a season.

i've been hanging out, doing this and that. watching music and listening to movies, oops i mean watching movies and listening to music. it's been really good. i realize i haven't been writing down what movies or music i've been indulging in. here are some quick jots

movies -- the visitor, chop shop, role models, tropic thunder, the wrestler, gran torino, frozen river, and probably some other good ones.

music -- burial, harmonic 313, project pat, big youth, pacheko, cardopusher, solace, the juan maclean, too many to list!

yeah, good times! i wanna write more but i'm not choosing to do this at good times. k cya

drew and i went to the los angeles county art museum today. i was blown away! i saw famous paintings by magritte (this is not a pipe), picasso (blue period), kandinsky, rothko, and many more! there were millions of dollars worth of paintings and art there! truly astounding, i'm still buzzing

also, obvi i'm still glowing from bc beating duke for the first time in a very long time. here are some photos i've been collecting. it rained today but then the sun came out, yahh!







the winning shot

i'm pretty sure this is reggie jackson's winning shot, pretty awesome! he's the man.

amped on the second huge bc win of the season

i'm amped

here's a good bob ryan article about the game

How 'bout dem Eagles?



hey

hey what's up. sorry i didnt post anything last week and havent really written anything in a couple weeks. i'm currently at drew's place in universal city in los angeles. i arrived here yesterday and am leaving thursday. i spent last night at andy's place in hawthorne and i think i'm gonna be at faith's wednesday. pretty cool lil trip tho!

today andy and i went to hermosa beach and drove all around and saw the port of los angeles, which is HUGE, so that was cool too. i got a couple photos.

andy and i went home and watched the bc duke game on tv because he gets NESN and bc WON. it was fantastic! now i think they'll be in the tournament. i just heard that another jeff rushed the floor and gave tyrese rice a hug. hell yeah!

aright, tomorrow i hope to go in a pool and play basketball, even if it rains. later...

Rodney Stanger

yo

yo what's up. i'm about to go to the sports depot with matt so that we can watch bc virginia. matt's being a pal and coming with me. it's his night to kick it! sweeeeeet

i have to do this a couple times a year, you see, because there is inevitably one or two bc games that are broadcast only on espnu. comcast does not get espnu, and it doesn't make sense to get satellite just for one channel.

so i have to go to the sports depot, but it's not that bad. i like their chicken taco salad, so i'll eat something good

matt and i are just gonna crush, maybe watch some of the bruins game or whatever other games they have on, you never know what you're gonna see, random teams

aright, cya
