Superstition

With this current four game losing streak, the soxx still have not clinched the wild card. Though their magic number has dwindled down to a mere one, this slide still has me concerned. In order to quell my concern in customary fashion, I turn to superstitious rituals. Generally the first step is to suit up in the alternate jersey, but that didn’t seem to work this weekend. If the slide continues, fasting will become necessary, but I do not wish to subject myself to the grueling ordeal at this point (especially considering I just did so yesterday). In the meantime, I need to find a suitable ritual to carry into the post season this year…

Travel Update

It has been more difficult to convince myself to write new posts while travelling than I imagined it would be… This is not to say that it has been difficult to write, as I have been doing much writing since I finished the only book I brought along.

If anyone is curious where I am or have been, I am currently in Krakow, Poland. I have been through Spain, Croatia, Bosnia, Italy,  Slovenia, Hungary, and Austria as well. On Tuesday I will leave Katowice for Kyiv. However, after Kyiv I have no idea where I will be going. My choices are the UK, Prague/Germany, or Odessa/Istanbul. Maybe you have some advice for me? Leave it in the comments if you do!

Also, if you could give me advice on my life when I return that would be great – should I move to Boston or stay in Minneapolis for three more years? Please leave your solution to my life in the comments as usual…

I will make a post for every city I have been to…

…eventually.

I am in Trieste right now and am loving it. Loving it so much that I don’t want to write on my blog.

Ciao!

New posts coming soon…

I realise I haven’t posted much in the past few months, but I feel my reasoning is adequate – my life was pathetically boring and, although I’m pretty sure less than a handful of people read this blog, I feel somewhat obligated to only publish semi-interesting content =P

Any way, I’m leaving for Madrid in seven hours and then travelling across Europe, so expect to hear from me a lot in the next two months…

Cheers,

When the stars and moon align…

I had a spur of the moment decision to attend trivia at loco for the first time tonight…

The category: Scrubs and the human body = victory

I captured the fly that has been terrorizing my office…

…but I am unsure of my next action:

Which is the appropriate action: 1) Suffocation 2) Release it in my least favourite manager’s office 3) Release it outside 4) Give it a stern talking to and let be free 5) Keep it as my trophy/petView Results Make your own poll

Update: Apparently the stern talking to I gave my pesky office visitor worked. I have not seen him for days… I am happy for this.

Songs about the Soxx

I stumbled upon the youtube profile of Desmond Reed (a Bostonian song writer). Apparently he has written and recorded songs for each player in the ‘08 line-up. This is the most exciting thing that has happened in my life today (second to grabbing a slice of pizza for lunch… yes, it’s been that exciting of a day).

Here is a sample of his work, but make sure to check out his youtube or myspace page.  Actually, his other music isn’t half bad either (he gets points in my book just for being a soxx fan…).

An Eventful Week

It’s been a fun week, but I’m glad it is the weekend. Too many long days at work and late evenings around the city.  Although I will be working all weekend, I should be able to find sometime to relax, maybe take a crack at a practice LSAT. Also, I should hopefully have cable internet at the apartment sometime this weekend, so I am nominally excited for that.

I am thinking it is about time to travel again… Austin City Limits is still not out of the question… though getting tickets now could be a little bit of a challenge. Anyone want to take a road trip?

Also, I really need to get to a concert soon. I was thinking about checking out Ra Ra Riot tonight, as I have been listening to them all week (check out the video…), but I feel so tired today. Additionally, I have only worked out once this week and I was planning on doing so after work today.

My Review of Stella’s Fish Cafe…

I had an interesting experience the other night and could not help but write a review:

“I’ve been to Stella’s a couple of times and will admit that it’s worth checking out. But honestly there are a lot better places to eat, grab a drink, or take in a view of the city.

I went with a foreign friend the other night to grab a drink on the patio and they refused to serve him because he did not have a ‘U.S. Passport.’ The ignorance of the two girls I spoke with was enough to make me laugh in their face as I tried to explain what a passport was and the reason why a foreigner cannot obtain an American one; according to the class they take and the test they ’supposedly’ passed, only Americans can have a beer in America… haha.

Although I finally found one person in the staff with multiple brain cells, I could not help but feel embarrassed for these girls and for my city…”

Admittedly it was funny, but these girls were so stupid… haha.
