So this weekend is the "Huck a hunka burnin' pumpkin" tournament at Brown University. I am currently sitting in a room in my friend Jarrod's place near Brown. I haven't seen him since we were both in France studying abroad in Spring '04, so it's certainly a little bit of a crazy time. In fact, I didn't even know I was staying with him at all ( Read more... )

So I'm in Seattle now, hangin' out with nattybumppo and while he was at work one of the first days I was here, I decided to go on an exploratory run to find a good running path. I started out by heading in the direction of the 520 bike path (the 520 is a little freeway that runs nearby). I dead-ended in what was probably some Microsoft parking lot, and some ( Read more... )

Alright. I can totally write small posts about my life. It's amazing how much of a mental block there is about writing in an online journal. Something about the commitment of time... or it's probably just because I'm a perfectionist. Oh, and the fact that at all times I probably have other things I really should be doing ( Read more... )

There are lots of cool things to buy for really cheap in Guatemala, and though the best food ever isn't one of them, it's worth coming for some of them.

Well, they're not pollo's, they're gallo's which is what the ( Read more... )

So I climbed a volcano on Saturday. Yep... a REAL volcano. It was real big, real scary, and real hot at the top. I don't mean that it was actually scary to climb, but a couple times I was really surprised that they actually let us do it. This sort of thing would never be allowed in the US without like 10 sign-your-life-away forms ( Read more... )

Both are very common for travelers in Guatemala. Both involve vomiting and diarrhea. Which one do I have? The answer is that if you also have a fever, and your vomit is not full of blood, es que tu tienes el bacterio. The converse defines your illness as one caused by a parasite you probably got from drinking bad water. The bacteria come from ( Read more... )

This past weekend felt sorta like life in Animal Crossing. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a Nintendo video game where you play as this person in a little town of animals (all different kinds) and basically do whatever you want. There are flowers to plant and water, fruit to pick, a river to fish in, a beach with shells, and a ( Read more... )
