Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated

Just back from Tijuana, Mexico sans incident. I’ll have a full report when I get back to the east coast, but it was a great time.  Terrible soccer game followed by a terrible baseball game, but great atmospheres, wonderful stadiums, and INCREDIBLE food more than made up for it. TJ was fun; if you’re smart (read: [...]

Tourist in my own Town: Laurel Springs, NJ, and Philadelphia, PA

I’ve tagged this post as “travel,” but in reality, nothing in it requires me to go very far from home! With the beautiful weather this week, I felt like going for a bike ride. Well, once I realized that my bike had a flat tire and that I didn’t have a pump, I decided on [...]

Bringing Sexy Back to New York state: Binghamton Senators trip

So, here’s what my brother and I did last night: We drove to Binghamton. We watched most of a hockey game. We drove home back home. Every year, RBK Hockey gives away a limited number of tickets for certain AHL (minor-league) hockey games on their website.  When my brother went to claim his this year, [...]

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 [...]

Hockey game!

Stratford, NJ Yesterday was a nice change of pace, so I’ll change pace here and talk about that instead of getting theoretical about life in Stratford. My mom took off from work early to take my grandmom to the doctor, so I was planning on being home alone.  Just before they left, my brother stopped [...]

I have two goals in mind for this week…

1) Try to be like Monica Lewinsky. 2) Try not to be like Chandra Levy. Yes, that’s right, in just a few short hours I’m stepping onto a Greyhound bus to begin my summer adventure, um, I mean, internship, at Voice of America in Washington, DC.  If I’m able to have an affair with the president [...]

Midnight actually seems late when everyone else in the house is asleep and no one is online to chat.

Again, I’m sorry for not updating in the past few days (actually, the last update was on Thursday, even though it was dated Tuesday), but I’ve been back and forth between my dad’s in Marlton and my mom’s in Blackwood ever since I’ve been back.  Also, I don’t have a fast internet connection here and [...]

Where to start…? Complete and total insanity…

Ok, I’m sorry about the lack of updates recently, but it’s finals time and I’ve been really busy with them.   Here’s the quick update, then I’ll describe things in detail:  1) My calculator is in Mexico. 2) I went to Ottawa this past weekend. 3) I’m 9 hours away from being finshed with my second year at [...]

A comparison between HersheyPark Arena and the Giant Center

Well, I finally made it down to the Giant Center Saturday night. I haven’t been to as many arenas as a lot of people here (both in Philly, both in Hershey, Trenton, Atlantic City, Syracuse, and Norfolk. I’ve driven by about 10 more, but I don’t think that counts) so I don’t have too much [...]
