About

I attended an all-boys Jesuit high school in Manhattan named Regis, an experience that couldn’t have been more incongruous with what Saved by the Bell promised me for years.

Hello world!

I’ve finally had enough with blogger and it’s lack of categories / dependency on the ponderous and fickle blogger.com server. Hello Word Press! Already, I’ve got a positive view of Word Press. It was astoundingly easy to move my blogger blog (including comments!) here onto Word Press. If you’re so inclined, here’s the guide I […]

(that picture in the article, of bush surrounded by babies born of surplus embroys makes me want to throw up a little in my mouth.  don’t politicians feel any shame […]

so hot

ughhh, it’s been so hot and humid lately here in boston. the woolly heat just blankets you as you step outside and into the sun. christina and i have eschewed air conditioning in our apartment due to the following moral arguments: 1) we’re cheap. 2) having both descended from 100′s of generations of tropical island […]
