yay easts :-D

yes i woke up feeling like a kiddie on christmas. this should be a great day!!

eddie, that is their point too...

hilarious video!

freeze thaw cycles in state college, pennsylvania. started by friends of mine when they were in university building bikes in their garage, then onto a basement shop, and now a major storefront with at least 10 employees and more business than they can handle. best guys you could hope to meet, too. www.freezethaw.com

well i am only 23, so i was only really politically cognizant during the bush era, so for me, and i think most americans my age, there is nowhere to really go but up from that point.

andy.w, i didn't know all that.. and it's definitely kind of a bummer, but i'm not really surprised. politics is a game where money and corporate interests are really big cards to hold, maybe someday in the far off distant future that will change - and wouldn't it be great.. but american people are paying attention now and they care and lots of them are proud and happy, and i think/"hope!" that will have a trickle-down effect on other aspects of american society, too. he's a politician for sure, and obviously not perfect, but i do think he's already done quite a lot for the american psyche.

and werner herzog did it too! but i don't think charlie ate it for real.

sorry for the random association.. carry on..

whats the prize purse? he wont make that happen or I'll eat my hat!

i think you should consider eating your shoe instead.

i'd also be down to meet up as an east drinks advocate with 50/14 that week! :)

this is a great idea, corny... you are just such a pal, aren't you.

people can be as cynical about this as they want, but i truly believe that this is a major step in the right direction for the usa. of course, politicians are politicians, and obama is not going to be perfect, probably not even going to be close to perfect... but when he first came on the scene as a possible presidential candidate a couple years ago i never thought he'd make it to the office, and i really think it says a lot about the state of the usa that he has.

i watched the inauguration with a bunch of americans in budapest, and as cheesy as much of it was (very superbowl-ish i thought... and what was with that awful poem?), i still could not stop grinning and we were all so happy... one thing no one can deny is how his time in the spotlight has incited such enthusiasm within a population that has been largely politically apathetic for quite some time now, i think that's my favorite thing about it. i can't really imagine anyone else doing that... people care, and they're paying attention, and that is already a change.. i saw him speak last spring and the crowds who descended on the small-ish town where i was living were just unbelievable, and the level of support was so strong and real. and now, it's actually happened, and he's really the president, which still seems surreal. and yesterday, on his first day, he made moves to close down guantanomo as well as freeze salaries for top government employees. it's easy to get cynical (though it's also wrong to blindly follow), but i feel like if everybody had that attitude nothing in the world would ever change for the better.

soo.... do we still want to go to berlin!? i just got back from a trip to vienna & budapest and i'm inspired to think about the next adventure.. and it's 2009 now, so i think we can make some real plans.

i just got back to london tonight and went on a really great night time ride around the city with pajamas after being bikeless for a month! i am very happy!!

i think gummo is about my last favorite movie of all time. it left me so unsettled, and i guess i never really got the point.

the email was obviously worded as if they were adressing a nine year old "you must have been VERY excited! i'm sure he or she was excited to see you too!" etc.

really? that is hilarious.

It's always funny to see my dad in the beginning of that Sesame Street video.

this guy looks a little like you, am i right?

funny video, bellezza, especially for the scorsese reference there at the end.

4 hours 21 minutes too late ;-)

well i am in the usa for another 36 hours, and here we are 5 hours behind you guys, so technically it *was *leigh's birthday (at least for me) when i wrote that ;)

.. or at least a battle to the death.

i think i want the scarf. how many inches wide is it?

aww man... rollapaluza is fun, for sure, but i was really looking forward to easts this week since i get back to london on tuesday! oh well! :)

oh happy birthday leigh!! i'll see you soon and get ya a pint ! :)

speaking of marine mammals, i am in the florida keys right now, and today i saw a manatee in the bay!! (as i set off upon a deep sea fishing expedition!) i had always sort of felt like manatees were the stuff of legend... not so, this one was quite real and floppy! but then again, it is florida, not london. i'd definitely be more surprised to look off the bridge and see an actual dolphin (or porpoise, whatever) in the thames!!

Yeah and the bloke on the left loved every minute of it.

hahaaa.. that's exactly what i was thinking - he looks like a creepy fellow. funny picture, if you forget the circumstances.

superprecise, i would also be down for a pre-tweed run spot of ale at a fine establishment of your choosing!

i'd really like a vanilla bike, they are so pretty :

and west ham is definitely my favorite london team!

no i did love the game! i said "by *your *definition" because i didn't mean american football, that's all. :) it was a fabulous showdown, and i've already got the song committed to memory, don't you worry.
