• did you really think that anything could top the sox this week? what an incredible week and series. the sportsguy sums it up for us.
• jon and carolyn cut their california vacation short because the red sox are in the world series. now those are true fans.
• i’m now entering the 3rd week of little sleep. why can’t they start these games earlier?
• we’re finally caught up on our tivo after a week straight of baseball watching. and i’m enjoying desperate housewives.
• the ashley simpson fiasco on SNL. and somehow, i actually watched this live.
• i’ve been so into the baseball playoffs that i started listening to sports radio. and i hate sports radio. but i can’t get enough right now.
• i ran by the head of the charles on saturday. hmmm, let’s stand out in the cold and mud and wind and watch a bunch of people row from far away! um, no thanks. but at least there was kettle corn.
• it’s getting cold out. this sucks.
• i sold my first item on ebay. and i also bought some stuff. uh oh. i hope i don’t get addicted.
• you know what’s good? candy corn. they’re completely artificial and i always eat too many of them and get a stomachache, but i can’t help it.
• um, have we forgotten that the pats have now won 21 straight games? but i can’t focus on them until after the baseball season is over.

• my computer is back up and running. all it took was a new motherboard and new memory. beats buying a new computer…
• yes, of course, all of us dummy red sox fans still believe. as long as they’re still playing, there’s a chance. just somebody take out matsui for crissakes.
• american pie: my search for the perfect pizza. this book is fantastic. it’s just all about pizza. peter reinhart is a culinary instructor, master baker, respected author, and apparently, a pizza fanatic. he goes on a search for the perfect pizza, gives tons of definitive recipes, and helped us make the best pizza cambridge has ever seen. ok, so the dough took 2 days to make (although it can be done in one), but otherwise, it was no harder to make than any other pizza. but the crispness, and balance, and flavorfull sauce was the best we’ve ever made. and the red onion, pistachio, rosemary, and parmesan pie that is apparently the signature pie of chris bianco, our pizza hero, was just so different and tasty.
• we stayed in and cooked both night this weekend. that’s right, an entire weekend without eating out. how the hell did that happen?
• another saturday afternoon on duty at the WA student center. which consists of sitting around for 4 hours in an empty student center, watching tv (last time was a significant others marathon, this time it was an arrested development marathon), playing 10 year old arcade games, and playing pool.
