our gerbils are multiplying like rabbits. this is all sort of according to our planned gerbil parenthood, of course. as our beloved pets have matured and slowly approached the ends of their little furry lifespans, we’ve worried about replacing them. i don’t think we could just bring home some new gerbils from the pet store […]

saturday was eventful. it began with a 6-hour frisbee tournament, played in a cold mist in suburban massachusetts. our team won the consolation bracket. that night, chris and i, along with some friends from the lab, attended a pairs-themed costume party. i think the pictures do a good job of showing how good a time […]

it’s late and i’m hungry, as i forgot to eat breakfast and dinner today. and now that it’s close to midnight and christina is asleep, there’s no point in going through the hassle of preparing a proper meal. what i need right now is the balut man. i learned about him the last time i […]

chris and i took mit’s free sailing class a couple of weeks ago.  it’s a pretty sweet deal: you get 3 hours of instruction and a chance to take a dinghy out onto the charles.  in return, you wear a life jacket and promise not to drown. sadly, i don’t have any photos from inside […]

i found these guys hiding out by the library across the street from our apartment.  sad to think that these guys won’t last much longer; it’s getting so cold outside now, and it’s only september!

chris and i had a garage sale a couple of weekends before we went to honduras. it was incredible how win-win garage sales can be: we somehow convinced people to give us $125 and we cleared up the clutter in our apartment.  all we had to do was sit down  in the sun and play […]

spotted the other night on berkshire st. while on the way to the pub.  perhaps this car’s owner is just very forgetful?
