ah the north end. what is about its thin, cloistered streets that makes me so romanticize the place? perhaps its something to do with the area’s rich feast tradition. as a bastion of roman catholic italians for over 100 years, the north end has long inculcated southern european culture in the very heart of old [...]

July 22nd, 2008 · No Comments
i’ve been biking to work for over four years now. every year it was a little further (a mile, then two and a half miles, now five and half miles). so obviously having a bike in working order was essential. i had a specialized hard rock for a while there, but it had seen better [...]

July 16th, 2008 · No Comments
omg. OMG. O.M.F-ing.G. matt stone and trey parker have done it again. as the creators and directors of south park, these two gents have seen, made, and manufactured more than a lion’s share (which i’ve always assumed means alot) of controversy. but almost all of that (their work with scientology and mormonism being notable exceptions) [...]
