Look, ma, my very first traffic ticket!

By Justin | June 9, 2008

I received my very first traffic ticket on Saturday morning, at Independence Square in Weymouth, which is the intersection of Route 18 with Pond and Pleasant Streets. I was on the way to work, running rather late, and getting pulled over did not make me any earlier. But, I was very calm and even traded [...]

The odometer slowly rises

By Justin | March 10, 2008

Every once in a while, I’ll record the mileage of my car’s odometer. And every once in a while, I’ll pull the numbers into Excel and make a graph for my own amusement. I’m a dork, I know. Anyway, I’ve put a few thousand miles on my car since I last checked out the numbers [...]

Back in the Bay State (again)

By Justin | December 21, 2007

Winter Break has begun. After a few days of sitting around in Connecticut doing nothing terribly exciting, I’m now in my room back in good ol’ Abington. The ride up was a mess, what with snow and rain and general nastiness, but everything up here is so pretty. There’s something to be said about living [...]

Breaking records (and speed limits)

By Justin | July 7, 2007

I’ve finally done it. I’ve made it from my driveway to Boston in under 20 minutes, and from my driveway to The Westin in under 30—and that 30 includes hitting just about every traffic light in town from the exit ramp to the hotel. I ended up arriving at work about 35 minutes early, so [...]

Another relatively pointless post, featuring a princess

By Justin | June 6, 2007

I’m already up later than I had anticipated, and I have to get up early today to walk around Boston. I have to walk to Washington Street to have some forms notarized or authorized or something for the Apple job, and apparently they want me to do it at their local Volt office. I refuse [...]

Numbers and (old) photographs

By Justin | June 2, 2007

I didn’t have the motivation to do much of anything today, so instead I constructed a chart of the mileage of my car, based on repair receipts, oil change records, inspection certificates, and photographs. It’s interesting to see where the slope changes; if you look over the summer months, especially last summer, the slope gets [...]

Back from Texas, spring break continues

By Justin | March 18, 2007

Wow. That’s all I can say right now about our trip to Texas. It was, simply, wow. Excellent food, excellent music, excellent beaches, and excellent friends. A killer sunburn. The (conditional) breakdown of stereotypes. A reawakening, of sorts, to the fact that the world outside of Wesleyan is vast—and still profoundly mysterious to me. Nearly [...]

The chicken has cooped, the dog has barked, and the caravan has moved on

Had trouble deciding whether to go the distinguished, semi-formal route, or to just stick with casual athletics. I decided on the latter, knowing that the next pair I buy will be for a serious [...]

Missives from Montreal: Day 3, and escapades

By Justin | January 20, 2007

Today was phenomenal, though it came to my attention that I am burning through my budgeted money very, very quickly.. It’s 3:45 AM though, so I am going to be brief. As in, it’s time for a list: Jewish deli: I tried to order a turkey-and-ham sandwich. Then I learned that that’s not possible in [...]

Missives from Montreal: Day 2

By Justin | January 18, 2007

So far, today has been marginally warmer, much more active, and full of personal development. I woke up at 10:30 and showered, then was out of the hotel at 11:30. From that time until 5:00, the only time I wasn’t on my feet was for lunch. I walked around pretty much the entire city; Montreal’s [...]
