My good friend Rochelle is leaving us to go spend 10 months in Spain. Now, I can’t say that I blame her. 10 months in Spain sounds good to me right about now. Need to brush up on my espanol, though. Still, I’m sad she’s leaving. We hadn’t hung out much since the AIDS Ride, and I feel bad about that. Still, we had some people over this past Saturday and wished her a bon voyage.
Here are some pictures from last Saturday night. The photos progress from my apartment, to the streets of Adams Morgan, into Cities.
First of all, I love my new camera! I ordered it on my birthday (Oct 1st) and it arrived just as I was heading out of town for my cousin Matt’s wedding. What excellent timing.
I flew out of DC Friday evening, and came back Monday morning. The wedding was fantastic, and I’ve got the pictures to prove it. In case you couldn’t tell, it couldn’t have been a more beautiful day. The wedding started at 1pm, and the reception and dinner continued until about 9pm. After things died down, I left to hang out with Xiaoming, a childhood friend of Will’s. She was nice enough to show me around MIT (she’s getting her masters there). Later on, Milk came by and we decided to get shitty. We ended up crashing some random parties in his neck of the wood and had some great fun pretending to be people we weren’t. You had to be there.
Sunday morning I (somehow) woke up and hustled to a 10am post-wedding brunch. The rest of the day was spent walking around Harvard Square and downtown Boston. I crashed at my cousin Ethan’s place, and woke up at 6am to catch my flight out of Beantown.
Led by the standout performances of Aaron Brooks, Keenan McCardell and Eric Moulds, my Cuban Refugees easily dispatched the reeling High Life squad led by Chris Miller. Normally, beating Chris and doubling his team’s point total (91 points to 46 points) would be something to crow about, except that I’m worried about him. Typically he’s one of the shrewdest FF guys out there, and I think his recent move up to the Big Apple may have affected his level of concentration.
Overall, the league heirarchy seems to be settling down. Three teams and myself sit at 3-1. There are some quality teams at 2-2 (Greg and Roman for example), and the rest of the league is really just trying to figure out how to regroup and right their ships. My game next week is against my arch-nemesis, the Sunflower Posse lead by Chris Kao. I’ve been trying all season to work a mutually beneficial trade with him, but his stubborness about his team is legendary. Perhaps dispatching him to 1-4 will be a wake-up call.
