remember when he was a third of this?

home school

this was one of those jamz that i forgot about until recently that was playing like twice an hour on mtv in 2008 when i was "working from home" a lot, aka, drinking coffee while watching the soap network all day with my laptop next to me. (2 hours of one tree hill, then the OC season 4, then 90210, and mtv jams during commercials. yeah boy).

i pretty much do the same thing now except the soap network is hulu and netflix instant and mtv jams is youtube.

this was playing over the PA in the grocery store this morning

jeez Berkeley, its Easter.

last weekend update

day 1: view from the 24th floor of our hotel in downtown brooklyn.

day 2: same view, but different somehow.



cool abandoned shopfronts turned art installations near Fulton mall.


pizza! fresh from the hole in the wall at South Brooklyn Pizza, where we went 2 days in a row.

soft dropout

i spent the week in DC for a super fun birthday surprise, and I really really really really didn't want to come back to California and school and the last 3 shitty work-crunched weeks of school. everything great happened this trip. we went to NYC for the weekend and ate all the best pizza, drank all the beers, shopped all the shops, looked at all the tiny dogs.

then we came back to DC and had more pizza and banana cake and saw good friends. And we got iced coffee at Big Bear during one of the sunny moments in an otherwise bitchy ass week of weather.

Also, we finished the first disc of season 5 of Friday Night Lights, which started off slow, but seems to promise some decent dramz.

can't wait to get back home.

its complicated

no more sk8ter boi, i guess.

this is the new since you've been gone, and better than girlfriend, imho.

let me see if you can run it run it

My old purple new balances finally died, so I had these delivered to my door from Zappos last week. I think this is the first time I've bought new running shoes in like a decade. I've recently started my new life as the slowest, short-distance runner, and these are some hot magenta inspiration.

caveat squared

i wasn't going to post this video because, i mean come on. but its been in my head for like a month now, so, yeah, murder is bad.

flocka!
