just look - Rally for Palestine

minor post, but I put a mini album (re: less than 10 shots) of one of the rallies for Palestine that I happened to find myself in. Look to the 'just look' section in the middle column. It's around the green area by Copley Square (the site of my favorite summertime farmer's market) - ironically, these pictures are from my trip to the library to figure out how to use my digital camera.

needless to say, I took the pictures before getting to the BPL. 

Also, just a few logistical items, the 'just look' portion of this web page will consist of the random photographs that I take, and it's brought to you by the great people at Google's Picasa, a photo-sharing site in the vein of flickr and webshots. I like Picasa because I can link all of these items (youtube, blogger, picassa, gmail) together in one seamless, google's-going-to-know-everything-about-me-anyway, enterprise.

I also figured out how to embed their slideshows first. yeah synergy!

I'm as old as the day is long

***editor's note***

I went heavy on the links in the post. you've been forewarned.

***/end note***

Today (or at least, sometime during the 48 hour period between the beginning of January 2nd and the end of January 3rd) marks the 24th anniversary of my season premiere in this life.

yes yes, I'm 24 years old. there's that right wing television show, rims have hit inflationary pressure (up to 24's from 22's), the iconic women's curvature is 36-24-36, 24 karat gold, christmas eve, the intergovernmental group of 24... exciting. depressing. ohmygodwhatthefuckamidoingwithmylife-ing. 

To mark this special occasion, (besides eating and drinking my face off) I've decided that this year (unlike all of my previous years.... psssh) will be a year marked with destiny, foolish decision making, and big events. 

So this basically means compiling a Top n list of great/awful accomplishments by great/awful people when they turned the age of a full earth's rotation (measured in hours... or jack bauer episodes... or teeth... you get the idea). All of my fellow 1985 brothers and sisters should be inspired. or very afraid. 

probably both.
