TEST PODCAST!!!

Shortly after writing my first post I found myself on a farm in the middle of nowhere in Sicily, and after that I went to a castle in Tuscany with a computer possibly invented at the same time the original foundations of the castle were built, which was during the Etruscan period...so that is my excuse for not posting for the last month or so. Bowen, your summer farm life sounds quite enticing and if I were to trade island hopping and EU invasions for anything, it would be that. For whatever reason I am at a loss of things to say. Max has yet to post, but in case you read this Maxwell, I am writing this post from a bar in Berlin with a large Billy Bragg (1 g or 2?) poster on the wall. Well, sorry I don't have any exciting and revolutionary ideas like I did in April, but I just wanted to check in and say hello since it's been awhile since I've talked with everyone. Except for Josh, of course...who aside from telling me about his own tattoo also told me about Juliet's and Doug's. You guys are fucking badass. Send me pics if you have them. I love you all.

history is exciting.

16 May 1903 Coney Island's Luna Park opens to the illumination of 122,000 bulbs; upscale Luna offers "electro-scenic mechanical illusions" and allows weary mothers to check their babies along with their parcels.

19 May 1885 To win a bet, swimmer Robert Odlum takes the first leap off the Brooklyn Bridge. His fatal plunge fails to deter later jumpers from attempting the same stunt.

thanks, New-York Historical Society!

skills.

lately i've been thinking about all the things i don't know. for instance, carpentry. how do i go about learning carpentry? i'd like to learn to build things. i'm quite serious about this (for now - i'll probably forget about it in a few weeks.) but really, without the immediate practical application, how does one acquire these skills?

hot hand in the dice game

Doug discovered this photo on his computer last night during a very very low stakes game of Texas Hold Em'. I'm not sure who this dude is but he reminds me of a babysitter I once had. That guy is no longer allowed within 100 yards of a school anywhere in California.

CASINO ROYALE + 112 GEORGE ST. = Fun
