gpoyw: go eagles!

went to my first BC game in like 2 years last saturday. i refused to wear my superfan shirt, as always. it was a good time.

btw, i’m converting him to sports fandom and he’s trying to teach me how to cook. win-win?

that joke will never get old and i'm never going to change my relationship status

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:59:28 -0500

him: so, i assume the boy in your new facebook pics is the new guy
me: yep, that's the one
him: but i didn't notice any change in your relationship status. still single?
me: yeah... and it's going to stay that way
him: like, forever?
me: no. just until someone puts a ring on it.

“Don’t worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you.”

- - Winston Churchill-

this quote made me chuckle, found in one of today’s 5 email forwards from my mom. i needed the chuckle. today is poopy. i can’t wait to escape…

"But given that the State has no place in granting marriages, is it simply too radical to propose..."

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:46:53 -0500

“But given that the State has no place in granting marriages, is it simply too radical to propose that the government do away with any and all mentions of marriage and only grant civil unions to straight and gay couples alike?”

- the ch!cktionary: Maine: Yes On Pot, No On Gay Marriage?

this has been my argument for years. marriage should never be a legal issue - it’s personal and sometimes religious; civil unions are a state issue because they can affect taxes and legal rights.

just because ‘marriage’ is the thing we’ve been calling it all these years doesn’t mean we need to continue on that path.

i hate stupid people

this is one of my favorite pieces of public art, located in the parking lot across the street from the san antonio museum of art. every time i visit the museum, i pause to stare at this for a second or two before walking into the building. i feel like it’s a really good pre-game mantra for every museum visit.

gary sweeney makes cool word art and i believe he is one of the south texas artists working on a piece to be installed in the new terminal at the san antonio international airport, to be opened in 2010.

how i spent my monday night: taping this spider wandering around his web on our porch.

always having adventures

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:51:00 -0500

yesterday we had some free time after dim sum and before the gallery opened so the boy decided we could try and swing by a graffiti hot spot in the area. good thing this graffiti spot is in one of the most dangerous areas in boston. i am pretty much never scared of ‘sketchy neighborhoods’ and have a generic invincibility complex. plus it was 1030 on a sunday morning the day after halloween, so what mischief could be going on at that hour?

anyways, winding our way through dorchester we happened upon about 6 police cars and 2 SWAT trucks, looking like they were about to do a raid somewhere nearby. there was one guy walking down the street yelling at them and lots of pointing and such. so, yeah… so we drove slowly past while i gawked and then skipped out of dorchester and back to the expressway in search of somewhere else for the day’s adventure.

luckily enough, we wandered over to the quincy quarry which was a good time and there were no guns or police in sight. we found some half-baked graffiti, awesome city views, and renegade rock climbers. success.

then last night i was telling my dad about what happened:

dad:and who were you wandering around with? not by yourself i hope.
me: don’t worry, i was with a boy and he can protect me.
dad: ok, good. so did you get any pictures of the SWAT guys jumping out of their trucks? that would be so cool!
me: no… we left before they got out.
dad: well what kind of adventure photographer are you?!?

i’m glad my safety is followed immediately by photo ops as his primary concerns.

and just now i set up a google alert for ‘boston swat’ because i really want to know what happened yesterday after we left!

i’ve been watching this movie on and off since last wednesday. hard to explain why, but i’m already ready for a second round even though i have yet to get through this first run.
