railbiking to the future.

well some time has passed i suppose since our last stint but i have good excuses, i've been in vermo, namely white river jct the past two weekends skiing and sorting through the hundreds of baseball cards in my basement. i figured i deserved a little time off, my girlfriend broke up with me and i needed a little time to fade out in the wilderness. this weekend was actually extra narly cause it was my pop's 50th bday and all of my family was there, being my mothers 9 brothers and sisters with their 4 element families. ridic.


i made this poster for the party, the photoshop cut and pasting got hella sloppy towards the end (deadlines make me work, just not well) but i finally got it finished at 8 en la noche on thursday so i had to take the midnight bus to vermo to get there on time. well while in south station i sat for an hour and then got on the bus and an hour into the ride realized that i left the poster at south station. after much arguing via telephones with south station the poster was lost and on friday i drove all the way back to boston to make another...i don't mind driving though, i'm most comfortable riding the highways at night, most of the time its what i do in vermont anyways. example: when i was sharing a hotel room with my sis' boyfriend, my solution to boredom was to make the 2 hour drive to ny state and back so i could look across lake champlain, why not?!

moving on. bikes. rail bikes and ice bikes, ridiculous:




why not i guess. (read more @ boingboing.net)

i have pretty much been living off of youtube in vermont, primarily such incredible hit british comedies like the mighty boosh and the IT crowd. i don't know if it makes me an incredible nerd to take this liking to british comedies, it certainly meant that in high school, but this shit is really good! my personal favorite character from the mighty boosh, the moon:


obviously full episodes and clips are on youtube, also season 5 of curb your enthusiasm is all up there now. geniussss.

in my driving odyssey's i could not stop listening to the new sword album, incredible, give it a listen, other mp3zzzz too(don't tell the riaa):
