Flags of Our Fathers
Last night we watched flags of our fathers. A while ago i had seen letters from iwo jima and I had wanted to see the other half.
It was pretty good. The war scenes were hard to watch, and it was really depressing because you didnt have any strong war hero glorifying war. Instead you have these likeable men who dont want to be there, and dont want to be heros and are just forced to see the atrocity that is war. And the ones that die are the lucky ones because they dont have to live thier whole lives with this memory, and guilt.
I got really emotional watching this movie because i felt terrible for past and present soldiers having these horrible experiences. War sucks :(

The Wrong Night For The Red Sox
Peter and I went to Last night's redsox game at camden yards. Coincidentally chris sat a few sections away so that was cool. Other than that the game blew.
When I walked in orioles fans started yelling at me to go home. I ignored them. When we got to our seats there were more of the same. They were loud and obnoxious. Worse than that, the worst and stupidist redsox fans were sitting directly behind us. The old lady had never seen sunblock in her life, and the man wished he were a sports commentator so he tried to report the entire game, but didnt know what he was talking about. THEN two innings into the game they decided that although they were redsox fans they wanted the sox to either loose or the game to get rained out so they could go home. They sucked.
We lost, but coco made a nice over the wall play (didnt catch it though)
Oh well. Guess i'll have to wait for the sox to come back again

Wordle
So i'm obsessed with this new website. www.wordle.net You can input any text and modify it and make it kinda a cool picture. on my tumblr i posted ones i did with mr. roboto lyrics and one with the feed of this blog (http://rsoxrach.tumblr.com/) Ones I didnt post were the entire script of romeo and juliet, my resume, and Jessica's evite.
The way this works is it gets rid of common words like "the", then it counts how many times each word is used. The more frequently it is used the bigger it gets. I wasn't too surprised to see that my blog uses the word "like" very frequently. Oh well. Some habits you just cant kick. At least i'm not as bad as I was in middle school.

NYC Weekend Part 2
Saturday We woke up around noon and headed straight to brooklyn brewery. Some friends from home met us there (jlau and geller). They actually had skateboarded 12 miles that day, from 72nd street to the brooklyn bridge TWICE. Anyway, we took the brewery tour and then sat down in thier bar ordered pizza, and participated in the 6 beers for 20 dollars program. We tried almost all of thier varieties. My favorite was Pennant Ale (for the mets not the yankees).
After a brief nap and dinner we again met up with Jlau and Shields and Won at the bleeker street bar. it was ridiculously hot in there, so after michael phelps won his 8th gold medal i encouraged everyone to finnish thier last beer, close thier tabs, and move on to another bar.
We moved on to The Arrow where we met up with a displaced DCer (Ted and friends). What the hell is the deal with big buck hunter in every bar these days? We then moved on to some other bar whose name i didnt catch down by avenue A (clearly i sang the rent song in my head and also quietly to leslie).
At this point we decided it was time for mario kart so we stopped to pick up some beer and head to Won's apt. Did you know nyc sells beer at any hour? it was like 2am or something and we were able to purchase beer and gummy bears. awesome. Anyway we headed to Won's apt which was the most amazing apt i've seen. seriously. Full view of the NYC waterfront. beautiful at night.
After both leslie and i got our asses kicked at mario kart we decided it was time to call it a night.
I think i missed a lot of details from the night in this blog, but trust me, it was a fun night.
