Oscars
February 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment
I gave up on watching the Oscars a few years ago. Probably that’s partly to do with the fact that I have no one to watch them with anymore, and no Oscars pool to try to win. (I like to think I’m pretty good at winning, thanks.) But tonight I’m watching. Why?
I love Tilda Swinton. [...]

What is up with those boys on the Slipstream-Chipotle squad? Are they having a mustache-growing contest?
First up is Dave Zabriskie, then Steve Cozza. Which one do you like better?

NYC

I’m heading down to NYC this weekend to visit a friend from high school. She wants me to take her shopping for a bicycle. That should be fun, but I’m hoping she hasn’t decided that she wants one of those cool new fixed-gear thingies that all the cool kids have. We’re planning to run around [...]

Opinion question

Is it better to have days that are cloudy, hover in the mid-30s, are damp and raw, maybe raining or snowing lightly – or days that are sunny, where you have to dig out a bunch of snow and tramp through snowdrifts and skid around everywhere?

Wait until the fourth quarter of the Superbowl when your city’s team is in the game. Then drive across town.

The ubiquitous training log

Apparently January was my off-season. I had planned for it to be February, which is traditionally the coldest month here, but I really dawdled myself through the first month of the year. There was lots of yoga, but also general disinterest in leaving the house, snow, rain, illness, and I suppose some mental illness too! [...]

33 degrees and raining

Ah, the irony and humor of the New England weather gods. Sitting on the fence like that, we’re all left holding our breath to see what will happen. Will the precipitation stay wet? Or will it create nasty black ice? Will it become sleet? Or manageable snow? Will we see cars coated in a half-inch [...]
