center city nomenclature and division instigation
i want to bring noma (north of market st) and soma (south of market st) to the center city lingo. i haven't figured out how to designate west and east of city hall yet. the barbarians in soma would probably want it that way.
geoff, it's been decided that you live in soso (south of south st).
splinter cell 3 for ps3 to have boobs
(see title link for pix) i still don't understand their futuristic armor. not that i'm complaining.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH?!
i tell ya, rush hour movies are a guilty pleasure. chris tucker lives quite the life.
running update
i'm still fighting horrible knee pain and trying to train through it. somehow, i've been getting runner's world magazine for the past few months as some sort of introductory offer. well, they ended up hooking me into a subscription like a dumb fish. i like the magazine though. i've picked up a few exercises in the past few issues to strengthen my lower body so i'm hoping that'll help me with my knees.
believe it or not but i've been training in shorts at least once a week. outdoors. the coldest i've ran in was about 35 degrees wind chill. once you get warmed up after a mile, it's not too bad as long as you have the right layers going. i'll add some extra insulation in the form of running tights this week. unlike the infamous adam legend, i'll be wearing shorts on top.
these aren't normal tights though. the cw-x tights have 40 patents to them. i'm hoping the extra support will help with my knees and lower back. and they make me look like a superhero.
first race is coming up in a little over a month. considering where i am at today, it's going to be a stretch to be ready for 10k.

there will be no joy in the apartment this year
did my taxes. i owe the feds $12 and the state $1. i made out like a thief in the night last year when i was in a lower tax bracket and could claim higher educational tax credits. le sigh.

well, i'm not buying another symantec product
my ghost 9.0 backups have been failing for the past week because it claims that the target disk is full. actually, windows says that my 200 gig drive has 113 gigs of free space. i'm backing up to a 150 gig disk. that should work. but apparently, symantec's code monkeys somehow fucked up the calculation of disk space in the lower-right corner (13.9GB!?!!). it's like they dropped a zero or something. so my backup won't go through because it thinks there's not enough disk space (150 gig disk is reading as 49.1GB!).
ok, maybe they have a patch or fix online.
The versions of Norton Ghost listed below have been discontinued. Phone, email and live chat support are no longer available.
fuck that, i'm not paying $49 to upgrade to ghost 10 because they don't know how to divide properly. i hope this post gets indexed by google.

ratm reuniting for one show
Rage Against the Machine, the seminal L.A. band that made heavy music into political manifesto, will reunite after a seven-year lull for one show as the headliners at the 2007 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Sources say Rage, which played the main stage at the first Coachella in 1999, will be joined by other familiar faces for the eighth edition of the festival, which covers three days this year and begins April 27: Red Hot Chili Peppers, which headlined in 2003, are back, as is Björk, who topped the bill in 2002. Organizers were mum this weekend and it was not clear which day Rage or the other acts were slotted to play; that announcement is expected in the next few days. Other acts expected in the eclectic lineup: Arcade Fire, Interpol, Willie Nelson, the Roots, Manu Chao, the Decemberists, Arctic Monkeys, Sonic Youth, Crowded House, Air, Tiësto and Kings of Leon.that's quite the lineup. i used to like ratm when i was young and full of piss and vinegar. now, the 'machine' signs my paychecks and allows me to buy all sorts of cool stuff and live in a nice apartment in a nice part of town. i guess i am the machine now. :/
what a football game!
wow, the colts overcame a 18 point deficit to win. good for peyton manning. he's been due for a few years now. he played a great half of a game.
p.s. fuck the patriots

colbert quits
after the democrats took control of congress last november. this is amazing.
Tommorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world. A world where the constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones created in a stem cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize there instruments over burning american flags, where tax and spend democrats, take all your hard earned money and use it to buy electric cars for National Public Radio and teach evolution to illegal immigrants. Oh, and everybody's high.

well japan is the world leader in robotics
we figured they would overtake us in robotics and automobiles, but nobody suspected we'd lose break-dancing too.
updated: colbert on the bill o'reilly show and vice versa
i lolled. every single bill o'reilly attack on colbert was turned right back around on him like some sort of kung fu grip.

the college years
uploaded a megaton of pictures from 2001-2003ish. the time frame for these pictures are from the first ever super-friends happy hour at mad4mex (september 2001) to graduation (june 2003).
there are pictures of the apartment i shared with dave in west philly. there are a lot of pictures of friends (eddie and derek are in there and so is crazy pete back when he was crazy). i think dave ended up borrowing my camera and taking some of these pictures.
there's a few more albums in this time frame that i'll get around to posting separately later.

baked chicken
baking chicken has to be the best thing ever. not only is the chicken still tender and moist, cleanup is really quick and easy. just bake it on top of tin foil and throw it out afterwards.
