Why 26? And other topics

SU was just on CNN.  I miss it. ANYWAY, why, per my last post, am I dreading 26?  The people want to know! Well, for statistical purposes, some organizations use 26 as a cut-off date for being a “youth.”  That means no more discounts! (Not that there are many left anyway, but still.) I thought [...]

24. Damn!

I just wanted to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday today! Err….yesterday! I hadn’t heard from this many people in a long time; I really appreciate it. Nothing much new to report on.  It was a nice, but uneventful birthday. As a change of pace from photos, here is an illustration of me [...]

Wanna see Syracuse basketball in Philly? (Inter alia)

I have to be honest: posting about video games makes me feel really pathetic.  But I just defeated Pakistan 337-48 in a Test Match in Super International Cricket!  I was the West Indies.  Considering it took me three hours to play the whole damned test, and considering that’s a damn good score (I didn’t score [...]

Ballparks

For those of you who don’t quite get my fascination with stadia, check this out. The American Institute of Architects just released its list of America’s 150 most popular structures.  Seven baseball stadiums made the list! Further proof of something I’ve maintained all along: not only are sports stadiums fun and interesting in their own [...]

Jesus Camp Review

I suppose it figures that the first two paragraphs immediately after my post on living healthier will be about how I’ve been falling apart today.  Murphy’s Law. But, I woke up this morning not feeling the best, and I continued to not feel the best all day.  I don’t feel terrible; I just don’t feel [...]

Healthy-ish living

Probably the best thing about having moved in with my grandmom is that, physically, I’m probably living a healthier life. I’m hardly a health-nut, but when I have the ability, I really do try to eat my best. When I was at Syracuse, I tried to eat at least two salads a day.  And, aside [...]

How Many of Me?

Super Bowl

I am pulling for Indianapolis tonight, since Dwight Freeney was the high point of Syracuse football while I was there. Of course, I have some friends who are Bears fans, so I don’t really care much either way. The AHL all-star game replay is on opposite the Super Bowl. I think there’s something else I [...]

Abbyland on Tour ’07: Pittsburgh!

“We work hard; we play hard” The last time I saw a hockey game with the Swiss, I posted a really long, rambly entry that I don’t think anyone read.  This time, I think a long, rambly photo essay might be more enjoyable! Wednesday night, I packed my bags for my mini-trip to Pittsburgh. Since [...]

Today’s Netflix: Vice Guide to Travel

STRATFORD, NJ, USA  Currently Watching Vice Guide to Travel By Vice Guide to Travel see related  The sun was glaring on my computer monitor this afternoon, so I haven’t yet been able to post my Pittsburgh Photos. Instead, I spent the last hour or so watching The Vice Guide to Travel, my newest Netflix pick [...]
