- a nice relaxing weekend in CT. featuring parades and carnivals!
- there’s something really cool about a neighborhood pizzeria. you know, the kind where the guys behind the counter know everyone who walks in, joking with everyone, having a good time, and turning out some really really great pizza. armando’s pizzeria in cambridge is our place.
- “do you think they know that they’re fat and disgusting?”
- have i really gotten that old? am i that out of touch with today’s youth? yesterday on our drive home, we listened to american top 40. a bunch of the top songs, i had never even heard of. and they were just awful. i mean “turn the station because this is hurting my ears” awful. and then we tried to watch the mtv VMA’s last night. they were almost unwatchable.who are these people? and i can’t understand anything they’re saying half the time. and was there even a stage, or a host? and were the only celebrities there beyonce, jay-z, and p. diddy? because those are the only people that they showed over and over and over. i remember i used to actually look forward to watching these things. man, i do sound like an old man.
- you know what’s fun? getting a flat tire on the mass pike. you know what’s even more fun. having two more people get into an accident because they’re watching my car being towed.
- photoblogs.org. the sites here put mine to shame. but vote for mine as a favorite anyways
- my giant AC from the old apartment is coming home this week
- the sox and their usual late-august surge. always getting our hopes up, only to crush them in october. maybe this year will be different
- we booked our anniversary trip to montreal. anyone have any good recommendations?
- this week marks 5 months since i’ve had a haircut
- we made another batch of the back eddy famous house pickles
- we stole basil and cucumbers from susanne’s parents’ neighbors’ garden. they’re on vacation. but we left the zucchini flowers.

- the first week of petecarpenter.com going pretty smoothly. yes, i know it’s riduclous and self-indulgent.
- this site is now powered by movable type. for those of you who don’t know what that means (i.e. most everyone), it makes things a lot easier to manage (after the 2 weeks spent figuring it out and getting everything imported and set up), and it’ll add lots of fun features.
- taking friday off to go up to ipswich
- so, we go up to ipswitch with one thing on our minds: fried clams. i eat them about once a year, so i want to eat the best fried clams i can. which means the clam box. so we get all the way up there, and due to the bad weather they’ve been having, the clam box has no clams. huh? a severe blow to our plans. but we would not be deterred. we made a remarkable recovery, and went on a search for woodman’s. mission accomplished.
- russell orchards. they have tons of stuff here. like pigs, and ducks, and sheep, and miniature horses, and big horses, and lots and lots of fruits and veggies. so we decided to pick our own raspberries. within about 10 minutes, we were dripping with sweat and covered head to toe in mosquito bites. but the berries are really good.
- dinner with molly and justin. and i didn’t call her molly the trolley once
- hail. i think it’s one of the first times i’ve seen it. especially when it’s 90 degrees out
- dinner at the nightingale
- suynday afternoon, sitting out on the patio of baja fresh, getting some sun, eating burritos.
- for the rest of the day after eating at baja, your hands smell like limes and corn
- a sunday afternoon walk around cambridge
- i love the character of ari on entourage. i love this show
- i don’t know how we got sucked into the olympics. i mean we were up every night last week until almost midnight watching it. and not just the women’s beach volleyball, although we watched plenty of that. go USA!

- welcome to petecarpenter.com. i couldn’t find anything shorter.
- after 7 years, saying goodbye to netspace, .org’s, and ~’s.
- the search for a new host
- i gotta say, i was a bit skeptical, but i’ve been sucked into watching the olympics. even the
opening ceremonies were cool. ok, i feel asleep during them, but i made it through most of it.
- ok, i’m no hippie, but i had a strange fascination with phish’s last show. i had my years of being into them
in college, and it’s cool to see them go out like this. now where will all of the dirty hippies go?
- we made what was probably the best pizza we’ve ever made on friday. and for some reason, we didn’t take any pictures of it.
- julia child. she was one cool chick.
- old camp friends coming out of the woodwork
- a guy coming up to me in harvard square and asking about my camera, and then the 10
minute conversation that ensued. he then walked directly into a camera store to buy one
- thanks to elliot at slower.net for the site design idea. although it will probably change soon, it’s a cool
way to navigate through the photos. you can click the left side of the picture to go backwards and the right side to move forwards. it’s
arranged in chronological order, going back 7 years. yikes.
- puttanesca. cuz ho’s need to eat too.
- susanne’s mom took her first computer class. watch out!
- we finally found a new dentist. and he looks like robin
williams in good will hunting
- today is my 6 year anniversary at work
- i’m wearing brown shoes today. for those of you who know me, that’s a very rare occurance.
