update from the hub

hey dudes. first of all, happy shark week - i saw some good mythbusters shark week special action last night, and there's some guy talking about being attacked by a great white. les stroud (still so much better than bear 'phony ass' grills) will apparently teach us at some point about surviving sharks. great whites have always been my favorite - absolutely insane animals. there's some sort of sharks and rays exhibit at the new england aquarium in boston, which they advertise with signs that read: 'SHAAAHHHHHHKKK!' (this is how every fuckin' product advertises in boston).
pauri and i have started talking about getting an apartment. i've been pokin' around on craigslist. the way i view it, boston is more expensive than providence (sveenks) but less expensive than nyc (bowser), but probably a lot cooler than providence, if not the crazy behemoth that is new york. bike tours are going well, i'm putting in a lot of hours and starting to get the hang of it. figure i gotta rake in the dough while it's biking/tourist season.
carlos sastre won the tour de france. ironically enough, i didn't really watch this year.
