Comeback?

Oh Boston. Why do you toy with me? I thought it was all over. I stopped checking the score obsessively in class once i saw we were down by seven. It's so the Red Sox to come back and just blow us away. love it. psh. you think we would go down without a fight? At Fenway?!
It's going to hurt much more if it ends next game. I don't know if i will be able to let it go as easily.

mmmm Youk, you know.. running in the wining run. cause thats how we do.

New Curse?


*sigh* We are down two games. And badly. Last night I was told I sounded like a man because of all of the obscenities coming out of my mouth at a look at the score. But that is so like the Red Sox. They like to do this to us. So I was thinking positive thoughts about tomorrow's game at Fenway until I saw this: Citgo Fire.
This isnt good. No, not at all. Wear your unwashed sox shirts and whatever you do for some good ju ju!!! Cause I know I am...









I might even wear my hat to bed.....

Picture Series



My Favorite Business

Bruce's Burritos.
The only place at home where i can order and not have to say a word. Mostly because I am predictable but also because the owner Erin knows my name and everyone else that comes in.
Look at their website here.

Oh.. and I always get chicken tacos ... no salsa.

Favorite Book(s)


I read constantly... So I could never choose just one book that is my favorite. Can I ever?? But seriously, give me $100 and I will probably spend it on books. So my favorites are as follows...

Jane Eyre~ I read this in high school in a classic novel class. and i was so surprised by how much i liked this book.






The Secret Life of Bees~ Loved it. Probably my favorite novel. Can't wait til the movie comes out because it looks like a really good cast. Sue Monk Kidd is a great writer and I love her other books as well. She reminds me alot of Barbara Kingsolver, another one of my favorite authors.









The Fountainhead~ Very interesting philosophy on art and architechture. It was one of those books i had to force myself to keep reading through but after I was done I was really glad I had read it and actually enjoyed. This summer I tried reading Atlas Shrugged but it is kinda hard to read while you are also trying to make sure the 2 girls you are watching don't eat too much candy and wear their helmets.






The Learners~ Definitely my favorite designed book. Love this book. I was so excited when i found out Chip Kidd was coming out with a new book because i loved The Cheese Monkeys as well. I mean.. its not the best read ever. But it is one of my favorite books. It is the only one that i have at school with me out of these... Sometimes I wish Chip Kidd wouldnt promote himself so much but alas tis who he is. As a design student I find what he has to say about form and content and the process hilarious and intriguing.

Favorite Memory

My favorite memory. I don't know if I can pinpoint one from my mind and say yeah. Here it is. This is it and this is exactly what happened and this is why I love it and will never forget it. I think I go more on feelings. There are times that make me feel a certain way. Like when I drove home from Montserrat with my Dad many times and had good conversations or how I felt when I met my favorite band. Because those are good memories, but I couldn't tell you if they are my favorite. But I do remember what they felt like, but not the specifics of why they are good.
After 20 years I feel as though I should be able to pick at least 5 definite ones out and say "yeah! these were great!" But I can't. I think one of my favorite times was when my parents took me to New York City while my sister was in Japan. I got to call the shots with everything. And I feel bad because my sister is my best friend and there are many times when I was with her that I still hold near to my heart. When she had her heart surgery last year is one that I will never ever forget but it is NOT my favorite. And couldn't be. However the look on her face in that hospital bed will never leave my mind ever.
Good things I will never forget: Getting into Pratt, The Final Bow for every musical I've been in, The feeling after a long talk with someone, singing along at a concert, singing in the car on the way to ballet with my sister, my 15th and 16th birthday parties, going bowling with P and I, a night in Tennessee, any time spent alone in Maine nature.
Life is too good to have a favorite.
