Safety, symbolism, or both?

Donning protective masks the second the American cyclists arrive in China… how symbolically pleasing for someone concerned with China’s rampant human rights abuses. Photo from the New York Times.

So, um, Boston pretty much rocks at everything

By Justin | Published: June 18, 2008

Congratulations to the Celtics on their 17th NBA title! Yet another win that proves just how much better than every other city Boston is. The AP ran an ecstatic post-game story: On a new parquet floor below aging championship banners, the Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title and a first one—at last—for Paul Pierce, [...]

Concept Design: Release 2

By Justin | Published: December 30, 2007

So, um, Boston (or perhaps New England, which is really Massachusetts) kicks so much ass at sports. The Pats nailed their sixteenth straight win tonight, to become the only team other than the Dolphins to have a perfect regular season. Let’s hope they sweep the playoffs and the Super Bowl, too! Anyway, Release 2 of [...]

Two interesting hyperlinks

By Justin | Published: December 7, 2007

Heh, who actually calls a link a “hyperlink” anymore? Krugman of the Times makes fun of America’s messed up priorities. Reuters says Boston doesn’t suck anymore, since all our sports teams are mopping the floors with their competitors. Duh.

It’s a happy day for all in Red Sox Nation. The Sox just won the World Series, shutting out Colorado by winning the first four games. It’s not as momentous as 2004, but damn, is victory sweet!

The anatomy of an excellent day

By Justin | Published: October 26, 2007

Today was an example of an excellent day. I was able to sleep in without guilt—no class on Thursday mornings. I woke up at 11:00 and took a shower in which a lot of my tangles came out (as well as a lot of hair). Then I met Jan Marie for coffee; I had to [...]

The Sox won, so today was a good day

By Justin | Published: October 25, 2007

They’ve won their last four games with a combined score of 43-6. Crazy! Today, today, today. What did I do? Well, I hit snooze enough times to successfully skip my first class, Latin. Oops. I have to stop doing that. I woke up and immediately starting writing the midterm essay that was due by 2:30. [...]

It all comes down to tomorrow, er… today

By Justin | Published: October 21, 2007

The Red Sox kicked Cleveland’s ass. It was phenomenal. Once again I ate too much (so full!). I took a nice long shower, have become fully nocturnal again, and earlier tonight I watched a box theatre performance. Despite my otherwise good weekend, I feel myself slipping into another generalized malaise. I don’t like these times. [...]
