The Neil Finn Show of Heartbreak (or, Largo Is Lame)
August 18th, 2009 4 Comments
On the plus side:
I got to spend time with my good friend Hector
We went to a fantastic restaurant/bar with tacos so good they made me nostalgic
Neil played a couple of my favorites that I’ve never heard him do live
Not bad.
On the minus side:
Because we were told before the show that — surprise! — there would [...]

A Story About Ping
August 13th, 2009 4 Comments
This is not a story about a duck. (Sorry.)
Note: This is my first-ever video. How excitement! However, there is maybe an issue with image/sound syncing? If this is the case while you’re watching, I recommend opening another tab in your browser and pretending you’re listening to a podcast. I hate image/sound syncing issues. They totally [...]
C’est tragique.

If you didn’t know me during high school, here’s what you missed.

Notes on Swimming
August 10th, 2009 3 Comments
I forget how much I like swimming until I actually do it. I’m lucky enough to have three pools at my disposal, but–as with so many other things in life–they tend to fade into the background, due mostly to familiarity. And yet each time I remember they’re there, and I ignore the horror-thoughts about being [...]

A Wee Bit O’ Silliness

First off, Craig Ferguson does not photograph well. (And I realize that many people will disagree here, but I’m firm on that*.)
